Noa, as mentioned earlier, I ADD-H (minus the hyperactivity)and dysthymia to boot. The ADD for adults is not as well recognized as in children, or so it seems-I think the medical community is comming around on this one, thank goodness. Some of your symptoms are classic, particularly the unorganized side. There are some (for what they are worth) sites for on line test for adult ADD. If you have trouble finding them, email me or post and I'll look it up for you.
Several month ago I mentioned that my wife has a friend with a masters in education-works with 2nd or 3rd graders I think. One of the things they ask the parents (if ADD is suspected)is if the kids insist to have the tags cut out of their shirts-distraction factor. Myself, I cut all out, have done so for years. And what is interesting is that my son, almost 3, cannot stand to have his tags in his shirts, it bothers him greatly-genetical? Now, I am not trying to ad a symptom to the medical documented list, but I know that there are other symptoms out there for ADD.
Sorry to babble so long, Blessings,
