I seriously don't. Prolly cuz I don't have MAJOR ADD, but mostly cuz I'm always the goofy one so I can laugh at myself.
How bout you?

Yeah. I kind of do mind. It doesn't help when I have Depression and Bi-polar as well. It really just scares my friends when I get all hyper and can't really do anything with a clear mind.

I know two people with ADD and they are always joking about it and making fun of the fact they have it. I'm not sure if they're just doing that to cover up what they really think about it though...

I dont mind mine since it has gotten a lot better and I dont use any medication anymore, it was never really the hyper part, just never could concentrate on anything for very long, now i can. I think I grew out of it.

There are many aspects of it that I certainly don't mind at all. I love that I can be wildly creative and goofy. ADD is treated too often in inappropriate ways by the people who don't understand it. Some think of it as a disease, and I know some people who don't even believe it exists. All ADD/ADHD means is that my mind is built different than a "Normal" mind. Portions of my brain (the portions that scientists attribute to creative and artistic thinking and sympathetic or empathetic feelings) are larger than in a "normal" mind, and other portions are smaller (the portions that scientists believe control organization and other necessary day-to-day functions which many people consider ridiculously easy).
I love the person that I have grown to be, and I know a lot of people who agree. I dislike my stupidity when it comes to scheduling and organization, BUT I always make sure that I never blame my failures in those areas on my ADD. If I am not going to look at ADD/ADHD like a disease, I mustn't use it as a crutch, either.
Whelp! That's my twenty-two cents.

yeah, only thing that irritates me is that I need pills to do this work. and they make my body tremor. I'm only taking 10MG as well. I'm going to try letting out half of one of my 10MG pills to see if it would make the tremors stop but still allow me to work.

people often mix up bipolar syndrome with ADHD. I don't think you have all of those in one, I find it extremely unlikely.
if you're depressed, you're more then likely unmotivated. which naturally makes you not want to do work. if you're bipolar you pretty much have a natural ADD as your moods change too much for you to stay consistent in your work.
just some thoughts of mine, don't take medication for all three unless you want a world of trouble ;).
