For the record, I think my primary care physician was wrong, since I definitely have depressive phases (more lately than usual, I've noticed), although my usual mood-state might be characterized more frequently as hypomanic.
It's been quite a while since I posted the above, and I am now trying to make sense of it. I don't remember how, in my mind, I was relating the fact that I experience depression to the idea that I must not be ADHD.
For the record, I read about bipolar disorder all the time, but I haven't really read very much on ADHD, and maybe I should. Other people besides that doctor have told me they thought I might be ADHD as well.
The doctor, however, did seem to make the observation somewhat casually, in a very brief meeting that took place primarily for the purpose of her prescribing some meds that I had been unable to receive through the County. I still wonder what it was I was saying, or how I was acting, that led her to believe I might be ADHD.
Also for the record, I wasn't on meds when I saw her (which is why I needed to see her), and I wasn't on meds when I was making the earlier statements in this thread. I'm on meds now, though.
