A lot of my mental state has been constructed around the base of me being fine, and that I'll get out of this because I'm normal at the end of the day and I can find a normal solution at some point. I've also had worries about not being mentally normal, and they've just sat there, being uncomfortable. If I do have ADHD, this is comforting in that a lot of stuff makes more sense, but also, I've got a Bad Thing in my brain that I can't drop, and I really don't like that word "can't" there.

I really don't want to say I have it, and my symptoms are a lot better (I think) than the author's, but I've felt everything in there to some extent throughout my life. When I was younger, I was home-schooled via the K12 online program, and would procrastinate for *hours* each day just reading Wikipedia articles. Even now, I'll read stuff like technical docs way more than I actually write code. I want to write code. I'm just horrible at finishing stuff.
