Adult ADHD-I?

So, I may have adult ADHD-I, as per some online test. Awesome! (Obvious sarcasm)... Obviously I have to get myself checked out by a real specialist, but reading about the symptoms really does shed some light about the way I've been feeling all this time about myself... It's not the "Hyperactivity" type but the "Inattentive" type problem apparently...

Have I ever thought about having it? Truthfully, yes... Part of me wants to do something about it, part of me just wants to ignore it and hope that it will go away. Except that it never goes away... My family has mentioned it to me before, since we found out that two of my cousins have it. But it's so embarrassing...

Told K. about it yesterday, told her to check out the symptoms and to see which ones apply to me and she confirmed that most of them do. I'm not really sure how she feels about it, but she says that there's not much to do about it, that I have to learn to live with it. She's scared that if I take medication and she takes her medication, we might have problems conceiving later on... We haven't broached the subject since then.

I personally think that if I can get part of myself back with some kind of medication, some control over my thought process that it would be all worth the drug's side effect (Although I don't know if there is any). It might not change me completely, but just help, that is all I would need. I don't know what to do...

I am just riddled with these little personal problems, how lucky!
