Glad you seem to be figuring it out while still young. Lots of good life ahead. I'm like you but it took years on Adderall before I started to figure it out, and recovery (from depression, or not taking care of oneself properly, or addictions, I don't care to slap a label on it) -- recovery comes from within, no pill magically cures those problems with the 'self'.

I do agree with medicating ADHD, though. When I first started treatment (~7 years ago), I felt like I was finally on an equal playing field with my peers -- I could use my brain normally/efficiently.
