Thanks for the info.

I'm not sure if I understand how pstims work. Do you take them when you need a short-term burst of concentration? Or do you take them sort of preventively 'in case' you need help concentrating?

I guess I'm really scared to consider that I could have ADD. It's hard to accept, because I actually did really well in school until I reached mid-college. Neuropsych testing showed that I am quite gifted in a lot of areas, but my short-term memory is horrid. I think being naturally smart, and having a strong identity connected to that, makes it hard to identify as ADD.

But, then, I realize, hey, most people don't need to draw while the professor is lecturing. Most people can sit at the computer and do a half-hour assignment in half-an hour (instead of 2-1/2 hours of web surfing plus 1/2-hour of work.). On top of that, I'm 'creative' and naturally disorganized.

My partner was just looking at the ADD checklist for me at "Healing ADD". She laughed out loud at the symptoms that she recognizes me as having. I feel weird that I got this far in life without noticing.
