If you're worried about being a lazy pos, then you probably aren't. If things are going wrong enough for you to seek out a professional analysis, I truly believe that any pysch specialist worth having will try to figure out why you're feeling the way you are. Even if they rule out ADHD, they could recognize something else is going on and get you treated that way. I hope that's of some consolation; good luck Internet stranger!

So... Work in progress? I guess
