I Suspect I Have ADD

[JohnnyHumongous]

My memory is garbage, I forget numerous things such as the details and specifics of major events and activities I have partaken in. My attention often drifts, I sometimes can't focus on anything and I'll occasionally not hear one single word someone says as they explain something boring to me (this has been embarassing in the workplace). I am a fidgety bastard now, always bouncing my knee or frigging around with pens. I can hardly relax, I am almost bouncing off the walls with nervous energy. This is despite being sleep-deprived almost constantly.

What's the next step for a schmuck like me?

Get really drunk all the time.

This sounds more like Sleep Apnea than ADD. You should get tested at a sleep clinic. I had almost the same symptoms; once they got me sleeping again they went away.

Could also be depression, stress, a combination, poor liver function of various sorts leading to the the accumulation or slow clearing of waste products in the blood, or any number of metabolic imbalances. I hate going to doctors myself, but sometimes just being told you're low on some cheap vitamin or mineral or something can result in a simple, cheap, harmless pill or dietary adjustment instantly clearing up some major problems. Blood panels are expensive, but

85% of the US population has some case of ADD. Mostly its quite minor, but almost all citizens could be treated for it.
Treatment? Who knows. Better sleep, better eating, and maybe more exercise. Will this really work? No clue, but it could not hurt.

Start to eat OC3 Fish Oil though, one a day. 0c3 is a natural recharging ingredient to help sooth/repair/recharge yo brain. Thats why its always recommended to have a steady fish diet. You might notice it makes a difference in stress levels in the long run.

i dont think its sleep apnea. thats when u literally stop breathing during sleep for like a minute or two.

but insomnia could be a cause of this

Cut back on your caffeine.
