Are these the symptoms of ADHD?

I have never been diagnosed with ADHD but when I look back over my life I cannot help but think that all the symptoms were there:

* An inability to listen: ever since I can remember I've been admonished for not listening, in fact I
find listening a chore.

* Falling asleep has always been difficult and it takes me a few hours each night to drop off. I've
put this down to being nocturnal as I'm never tired at night but always sleep into the afternoon the
following day.

* I buy a newspaper every day but never actually read it, rather skim through the articles.

* Cannot sit still, fidget tremedously.

* I find following instructions almost an interrogation

* I get into a panic if I am not going out or occupied with something I enjoy

* I don't enjoy learning but strongly believe in it

* I find all sports boring and impossible to watch


On the other side of the coin I've always been an excellent time-keeper and exceptionally well organised. Also I've ruled out hyperactivity as I tire very easily and can be slow- is it possible to be both hyper and lethargic?

Those could be symptoms caused by ADD. If I were you I would do some more research into AD(H)D to get a better idea. There's some good info in this thread: attention-deficit-hyperactivity/topic44052.html#p304763

Remember, anyone can have traits of a disorder but it does not become a disorder until it is disrupting your life (or the lives of those around you) in a significant way.
