I've never been diagnosed because I hate taking meds. I had to take meds for something else most of my childhood, but luckily I don't need them anymore. However, people close to me tell me I show a lot of signs of both ADD and OCD. In fact, I met a girl a few years ago who thought about things the same way I did, such as being distracted by little things, especially patterns, and it turns out she was diagnosed with OCD. I've just been nervous about getting tested because, as evidenced in this thread, the medicine has different effects on people. It's not crippling to me or anything, just more annoying that I can't clear my mind w/o working out a ton. So if I have it, I guess I can live with it, unless it becomes a problem and affects my daily life.
