Ok so I have ADD, and I have a phobia which I get super agitated and angry when things arn't organized. But aside from that I can never sleep because thoughts keep racing through my head..sometimes I get real down and don't talk and just kinda space out and then I pop right out of it and am super SUPER hyper.

I had the "thoughts racing" thing then someone told me to verbally(loudly) command myself to STOP. After a few days of this , I stopped. You do sound like you might also be manic.There are medications that could help, also.

Brother, I had ADD before they ever called it ADD. When I was young I was just way too hyper. I have never really been diagnosed with it but my mind is always racing and I don't sleep well. You may have a little OCD if you have issues with organization. Are taking any meds? You may want to.

Are you on any meds? I think it is probably time to call the doctor on this one. My son has Add and it can be quite a challenge. Hopefully you have someone in your life that you can be real and honest with---because often with these types of things we, ourselves, are not always the best judge of what is best for us.
When the MD's office opens up after the holiday, give a call....
Peace and good luck.

Sounds like anxiety.I get agitated when things are in disarray too.But it helps me to take a deep breath and tell myself that it's okay if I don't get everything done right now.I think it has something to do with subconsciencely thinking that we have to arrange things and keep order,even when we really don't have to.It's no one persons job to try and save the world.Just do the best at what you can and damn the rest.Afterall,your best is all you can do.

You doctor will be the best person to help you with this problem. My cousin had a problem similar to this, and when he'd get overzealous, we would give him something he'd like to do. It was temporary, but he eventually had less attacks. Find something that can genuinely keep your attention. It will be hard at first, but you have to focus. Get out and go to the park or do something that doesn't have a lot of distractions, like sitting and thinking. You can never go wrong there. Hope this helps.

sounds like it could be Bipolar II or Cyclothemia, depending on how long these episodes last. Talk to your dr about that, and if he/she diagnoses you with any type of bipolar disorder, ask if you still need to be diagnosed with ADD. ADD can be a misdiagnosis for a bipolar disorder.
If your periods of being "down" don't last 2 weeks or longer, you may also just be experiencing AD/HD or OCD symptoms.

That's OCD. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

In addition to all those wonderful problems it sounds like you could be bi-polar. With that you will have super highs and very bad lows.
You need to have all this diagnosed. There is medication to help you. As you get older if you don't do something it will get worse.

You have OCD Obsessive Compusive Disorder, talk to you doctor about things that might help you get over your need to be organized, and maybe a way to help you clear your mind at night before you go to bed.

If you accept your problem, you are completely normal and this helps you to consider options. Consulting a psychologist is a good option, because they will test you and let you know what could be wrong. And maybe, nothing's wrong. Take care!
