sierciaAnyone here know anything about how one might go about getting tested for ADD?
I'm very much starting to wonder if I have it - I've never had great powers of concentration, but it's gotten even worse in the past few years, and I'm getting to a point where I get distracted, even when I'm doing things I enjoy. If it were just happening with work-y things, or other must-do's, I would write it off as just not wanting to work. But it's gotten so I wander off in the middle of reading (unless it's a really good book); in the middle of writing; and constantly when I'm doing "work". About the only thing I can consistently do for long stretches is stitch, and even then, I get distracted from that if the tv's not on. I'm having trouble focussing even when there's external pressure on me to finish something (like from my boss), or when *I* really want to finish something, because I want to go do something else.
I've taken a couple of self assessment tests, and they seem to indicate that I may have the tendency toward ADD. Now, I need to know where to go from here. I've got to do something, this is getting to the point where I'm starting to feel non-functional.
