Like in almost every area of my life I have been affected but I always thought it was something that I was doing like not eating well enough or getting enough sleep, because it was so up and down (my focus). Socially I have been hugely affected because I often have had a hard time keeping interest in people for long lengths of time. I think I even made a thread about it. Everyone recommended I make new friends since I was getting bored of people and it worked... but only for so long. I am really really ecstatic about trying something to help me with this as I have been dealing with some serious depression the past few years and to have some recognition for it and a potential solution as well is just great.

Does anyone one else have any experience with ADD?

Also, you should never diagnose yourself. It's natural to convince yourself you have something just by reading too much into something you're worried about.
