Hi all,
This is my first post so I will try not to bore you too much.
Today, I have come to the realisation I probably have ADHD. I took a few online tests and sure enough the questions all related to how I feel. I am not sure what subtype etc.. as I do not know enough yet.
Anyway, if I give a brief description of myself and history, then maybe someone can relate to how I am and help confirm that this is what is wrong with me.
I am 28 and I run my own Web Design Business.
In Primary School I was very intelligent, Hyperactive and Weird. By weird I mean I had no sense of correct social behavior. I was picked on by other children excessively.
Nearing the end of primary school my results dropped and I had poor relations with everybody including the teacher.
High School was more of the same, I couldn't stand School and found it incredibly hard to be interested in school work. I hated laboring with school work so much that I stayed home 30-40% of the time.
As an adult, I have basically no Social Life because I can't interact with people. I can seem perfectly normal and intelligent and funny, but I will always say something offensive or stupid.
Group situations scare me so much that I will avoid them at all costs.
Basically I am paranoid about what people think about me and this all comes from my childhood. Where I am pretty sure ADHD caused me to behave in a way that was strange to others.
Basically I have my partner and I haven't had friends for so long.
It sucks for my work though as I run my own business LOL
What I do have a problem with is:
I frequently feel very stressed and short tempered. When in this mood I lash out at my spouse and can say excessively nasty things that are inappropriate or unwarranted.
I can't multitask efficiently
I repeatedly check things to ensure I haven't made a mistake to the point of obsession.
I can't read books very well, without either falling asleep or mind wandering.
Very low Self Esteem
I have a gambling problem ( I make my self physically sick sometimes doing it from the stress) but I enjoy the Risk/Win etc.
I have a smoking problem
I have trouble communicating with people in the sense I seem to be on a different wave length.
Basically I am restless, unable to organise my life properly and have ups and downs.
I feel anxious a lot of the time even when there seems to be no apparent reason to be so.
This is a rambling of thoughts, I also find it hard to express things clearly or organise them in my brain and put them on paper without getting overwhelmed.
What do you think?

Hi all,
Thanks for all your Reponses, I went on holiday for a week which was nice, but when I got back I went and saw my doc and he gave me an anti depressant.
He doesn’t think I have ADD, he thinks that when I was younger and used to smoke pot, this has caused all my problems.
Doesn't explain why I was strange before I smoked pot,
Don't know what to think now.

One of the Church's most high-profile critics, Tory Christman, credits Heldal-Lund with convincing her to leave Scientology after thirty years. According to Christman, she had already had doubts about the Church, due to having been unwittingly drawn into participating in the sporgery attack on alt.religion.scientology, but conversing with Heldal-Lund (whom she had previously decided "must be the devil") led her to conclude that Scientology had been deceiving her, and she made her decision to leave.

This woman I speak of that was gay...
Chris KNEW that when he recruited her...full well.
They were even surfing buddies.
They spoke about if frankly.
She's all...hello, don't think I can do this...
and he's all, it's okay...just be discreet.
He wanted her talent & abilities at the time...period.
She was a great singer, and did several albums for & with Chris.
He was / is like that...
get what he wants from someone...
when they are perhaps no longer "of use"...
or suddenly contradict the latest BS he's peddling..
ditch 'em.

The Living Force
The Living Force is thought to be in most living beings. It is what "makes you sensitive to other living things, makes you intuitive, and allows you to read other people's minds, et cetera" (The Making of Episode I). Jedi can sense Living Force in life-forms. Sick or dying organisms have little Living Force, while healthy ones usually have the quantity of their midi-chlorian count. The connection to the Living Force apparently also allows Jedi Masters to retain their identity when they become one with the Force. Qui-Gon Jinn was said to be a master of the Living Force—with a philosophy that focused more on sensitivity to living things, being in the present rather than the future, and relying on one's instincts rather than visions. Obi-Wan Kenobi also had some proficiency with The Living Force as in A New Hope he could sense the deaths of the people on Alderaan when it was destroyed under orders of Grand Moff Tarkin.
The only known beings without the Living Force are the Yuuzhan Vong, the antagonists of The New Jedi Order series. They exist without the Force and it cannot be used on them (still it can be manipulated around them). The Yuuzhan Vong once existed with the Force but were stripped of it by their home planet, of which Zonama Sekot was a seed. It stripped the Yuuzhan Vong of the Force after they waged war on others. The planet later disappeared mysteriously and was presumed destroyed.

The Unifying Force
The Unifying Force is the other side of the Force (the other is the Living Force). It is the "greater, cosmic Force" that "has to do with destiny" (The Making of Episode I). [u:a7eea49e55]The Old Order, including those in the Jedi Council, was more focused on the big picture of the future universe and fulfilling destiny rather than the compassion to other living beings.[/u:a7eea49e55] For example, the Jedi Council would not allow young Anakin Skywalker to train because he posed a threat to the future.
