thanks for the replies, everybody!

okay… here’s a little bit more of the story…

I have dealt with ADD for all my life.  I have the inattentive kind.  I don’t have get the hyperactive symptoms, but I have trouble with focusing, remembering things and organizing my memories, and keeping track of tasks.  I’m always getting sidetracked, and it takes me forever to do things.  My room is a mess and my mind is a mess too… but… on the plus side, I think my disorganized mind is a factor in my having a strong imagination and creativity.  I also think that not being neurotypical (fun word that I just learned on these forums) has given me a unique perspective and sensitivity to people who are different.  (as an aside, I’m not sure how long I can type right now, because the discomfort in my wrists/forearms is coming back.)

So as of July 2012, I was working at a call center; a job I hated.  I’m an introvert, and working somewhere that involves talking all day, working fast, constantly multitasking, and being micromanaged was hell.  My hobby/avocation is art and design, and I spent all my July 4th holiday working on a drawing on my computer glued to the chair.  I woke up with a kidney stone. To be continued…

as far as waiting, I have a few things I have to cooperate with, and I get to see the Psychiatrist in May.
