Wondering about ADD

Hello,
  Im more familiar with other forums...so if this is not the one for this..forgive me :) I am currently 21. Recently I noticed some things and did some research about it. The "Symptoms" that I typed up on Google brought me to the subject of Adult ADD. I am a neat freak. More than the usual. I need to color code my clothes, organize them by color, style and so on. I often wake up with the need of cleaning. I get annoyed when I see trash on the floor in my room. I hardly sleep....I think too much. I worry a lot, cant stay still...I move my feet a lot, my hands. When in a quiet place, I try to do a lot of noise or movement. I get bored a lot. Any ideas of it could be this or anything else?

I get annoyed when everything is out of place. I constantly have to be organizing everything. I spend a lot of time organizing. I need to organize before I do anything else....and sometimes I never get to that something else bc Im still busy organizing. Several times, when I have visitors....I make them wait while I organize. I go to sleep wondering if everything is in place and etc

What you are describing sounds a lot more like OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) than ADD.  

The hallmark red flag of ADD is lack of organization skills.

Best wishes.
