> But that's what puzzles me: How easy is it to focus on boring repetitive jobs if you don't have ADD? Is it simple? I doubt it.
It's a lot easier than it is for someone who has ADD.
> The other thing that makes me wonder is the fact that I get so tired. Much more so than other people my age. This has been the case since adolescence.
Teenagers and young adults often have an amazing ability to spend a lot of time sleeping, actually. But the daytime fatigue could indicate that you're not getting restful sleep.
> Admitedly I am quite skinny and have poor muscle tone but I really can't keep up with others my age (26), I am too tired. This makes me think depression is involved.
Have you tried exercising? It might just be that you're not in as good shape as other people your age.
> I want to get to the root of the problem so that I can deal with it adequately but I have such a hard time figuring out what the problem is in the first place.
That's not surprising: we don't really have that much knowledge about the "root causes" of psych disorders.
