    I’m only 27, but may have undiagnosed ADD. My schooling, career and health continue to be harmed by stuff I just can’t seem to get control over. Always been this way. I expect to die of heart disease while reaching for 30s.

      I gotta ask, if you’re so sure, why don’t you seek treatment? Take a couple online tests to try to get a measure of it and go from there. I know it’s hard to force yourself out of a rut with ADHD, but screw leaving it untreated.

        Bold of you to assume I haven’t. I’m on a waiting list for diagnosis right now. Ironically the same institution who fucked up my diagnosis in 2004. But they were the only place that had a 30 day, instead of a 30 weeks waiting list.

          Why would I assume you’ve sought treatment when you stated you were undiagnosed? Nothing bold about that at all based on the provided information.
