Question: Does this sound like I could have a learning disorder, ADD, or bipolar.? .?
I've always felt different than other people but I never found reasonable ground to go see a doctor for it.
It takes me great effort do something that I don't find at least somewhat interesting. Even when trying hard to pay attention in class, if I don't find it interesting, I find myself drifting off less than a minute later. I procrastinate to the point where it affects my health by sleep deprivation. My handwriting is slow and messy. I cross out words often because I switch letters in a word or start writing the wrong word. Sometimes when people speak directly to me I don't catch what they are saying even though I hear the words and am looking straight at them. I can't keep up in a conversation if there are more than 3 in the group. Sometimes I find myself thinking about a couple of things alternately while playing a song in my head at the same time. My mood seems to change often and easily and is affected by my social interactions. Sometimes I feel very agitated,angry, and sad for no reason. I have periods of high and low self confidence. I have periods when I don't feel like doing anything and even avoid my friends' calls. Then there are times when I like myself and enjoy talking to people.
The symptoms seem to me like a combination of a learning disorder, ADD, and bipolar, but I am not sure I have anything at all. I could be completely normal.
I don't really think that seeing a psychiatrist would be worth it either. Health Question & Answer

I agree about not putting a 'lable' on yourself.....however, my son is bipolar - manic and ADHD, he's an adult now, but it sure sounds like the way he acted and felt in school.
You do not have to see a psycharist.....start with your regular doctor, and go from there.
Even if you are bi-polar or/and ADHD it's okay, and you will get through it all. Sometimes a simple medication can keep you on track.
Good Luck to you....I care.Health Question & Answer
