TETSUO!!
So is that actually what ADHD is like? When I was a kid (middle school or so), I got diagnosed with ADD, and I'm still not certain I know the differences between the two.
I do however, know that I've frequently discribed my train of thought as multiple trains, on multiple tracks, all swapping places and directions at seemingly random intervals. I can't ever follow just one train at at time (if any at all) to its destination.
I'm guessing you were diagnosed in the 80s or 90s because ADD is the same thing as ADHD, they just changed the name. Sometimes I've heard people use ADD for the primarily inattentive type of ADHD (as in the space cadet rather than hyperactive variety), but I don't think that distinction has ever been used clinically.
ADD and ADHD are essentially the same thing apart from the hyperactivity . The H is for hyperactivity, which doesn’t always describe every person with ADD.
And at least in the US ADD is no longer a thing and hasn't been for a while, having been subsumed into the ADHD diagnosis, which can be inattentive, hyperactive, or combined.
If there's anything that isn't quiet it's my mind
Just have to drown it out
I’m lucky I have tinnitus. My mind is never quiet. Always that little beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep in my head…

Reminds me of "The enigma of Amigara fault"
this is my hole
My thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.
That's what GNU/Linux is for. No closed source software to keep my thoughts safely encrypted the way I trust, not one person but rather the masses checking the guarentee of my safety in documenting. Safer than handwritten even.
Writing slows my thoughts and reorients them as I review and rewrite. Old shit I write is always like WTF to my aged self.
Me when there's too much noise:
You might have ADH..... Oh, nevermind.
