As for depression/anxiety/social anxiety/etc, I actually... don't think I have any of them! SURPRISINGLY, GIVEN WHAT A BRIGHT AND UNENDING RAY OF SUNSHINE I AM.

I've had shorter semi-frequent bouts of what sort of looked like anxiety and depression, more depression, but I've always bounced back way quicker than would make sense. I also thought for a while that maybe I had social anxiety/social phobia but it didn't quite fit either.

What DOES fit is ADHD and some associated issues that usually accompany it. And it would also explain a LOT about my habits and what works for me and what doesn't, along with completely justifying my caffeine addiction. The problem is finding someone who would buy an ADHD self-diagnosis from a late-twenties female who never flagged for it as a kid, and there's some pretty big red flag diagnosises and likely-disorders in my family history that would probably have to be ruled out and it just sounds like a huge hassle.

Don't you just hate doing boring stuff and like doing interesting/fun stuff, which semi quickly can become boring / stuff you know like me?

If something I enjoy becomes "work", it usually makes me loathe doing it, if I think I absolutely HAVE to do it I'll do it begrudgingly.

I could easily be misdiagnosed with ADHD, but I'm certain I don't have it and that it's only a personality trait (or it's because of defiance).
It also adds almost complete lack of motivation, which is a terrible combo.

If it's not because of defiance then you probably have ADHD. Fidget spinners (though I haven't tried them) could just be good for occupying downtime.

Wikey nailed it, stop being a pussy and deal with it.
Real ADHD is very extreme and rare.
It's overdiagnosed and drugs are overperscribed
It's so fucking easy, people just do it to get the speeding/smart pillz

That it's rare doesn't mean that no one has it.
