Yeah, my Doc is aces, and what I'm not worried about is his honesty. If he thinks I'm being a lazy sad-sack that definitely doesn't need medication, he'll have zero problems telling me.

I'll let you know how it goes. I think I'll deem it appropriate or not based on how quickly he diagnoses me. There's also that aspect of skepticism due to the fact that I'm a grubby college kid looking to score some adderall. I'll be interested to see if he addresses that.

It feels like ADHD is one big self-fulfilling prophecy of self-doubt. At least I'm struggling with whether or not I should label my issues as ADHD, as opposed to blaming my problems on ADHD, I suppose.

How did this turn out, by the way? Oh right - sleep apnea? Are your symptoms improving now?
