ADHD

or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
bit of a mouth full, isnt it?
if you've read my facebook, or one of my more recent posts, you'll know where this is coming from.
if you haven't, it doesn't really matter.
all you need to know is that sometimes i act a bit hypochondriac-y.
i went back to the site that i took the original ADHD test on, and re did it, thinking i may have just been in a bit of a hyper mood, so it messed with my results.
my previous score or 75 was dwarfed by my sore of 81.
did another test, on another site.
81.
thats a pretty awesome score.
if i got that on a SAC id not be too shattered.
wanna hear some of the symptoms?
if not, stop reading.
you can leave a comment saying how many you think apply to me, and ill tell you how many i think i have if i deem enough of you have commented.
