Like girls. I tend to be happy when I think of my crush. 
I can't stop being negative. I have no control over it. It comes out of me just like barf. You can't hold in barf, and I can't hold in my negativity. Why? I have a VERY bad case of ADHD. 
Are you sure you have ADHD, I don't know what symptoms your having. But the form of anxiety & depression your experiencing isn't predominantly linked with ADHD.

Dude, you might be depressed, you might not, but you still need to see a therapist. It never hurts
T.K. is mostly right, I believe you have a case of depression, it may not be surveer and it could be rectifyied. I think your a little like myself when I was younger. But before I continue I'll read though the other five pages so I don't repeat someone elses statement.

Try that Maniac 6 game on my website, and tell me what you think of it's physics. And DrIVer, don't even get me started. Did you see how glitchy it is? Maybe I should tell yall that the white screen actually covers up alot of glitches.
Dude, you made a game with tones of complex coding. For your age your defaintly not a failure, your a f***ing genius. Gather everyone you know, how many of them could complete the task to a better standard than yours. Probably none!
Your never happy, your trying to be a perfectionist, you want everything to be perfect but you have to understand it'll never be perfect. Because there is no limit to how perfect something can be.

I assume you mean counsellor or psychologist.
In my experience I don't see the benefit, been there done that they never come up with a proper way to help there just an outlet to express yourself. Nothing can be done. But it might be different for someone like yourself. My situation could be highly unique. Just listen to N.W.A''s Express Yourself, maybe that'll help.

Hey, man...
Now you've identifyied the problem I think you can overcome the worst yourself.
The first step you should take, is to step away from your computer and take a break. You've heavily occupied your mind to acomplishing many unrealistic tasks using the infernal technology and I think you need a break.
So leave everything alone, I know it's hard when you've commited yourself to so much. But think of yourself as the important one. f**k everyone else!
Now I know absolutly nothing about yourself, so I'm not sure how study inpacts your computer usage or your daily lifestyle. But I think you should leave Driver Madness, all the other communities your appart of for at least a couple of weeks.
Take some pressure of your mind, and start thinking about other things outside of the technology world. Remember technology isn't natural so go out in the back yard prance around the bushes and explorer civilisation. Just go out for a walk, clear your mind and think about everything.
Check-out the birds in the trees and admire nature. Then check out the birds at the local shopping centre and admire the opposite sex. I think now is the perfect time to make a change and think you need to try and calm the f**k down.
So go clothes shopping, buy something that expresses yourself more than you experess yourself now. I know I'm not writing this with the greatest thought, but if you want I can really think about everything and tell you what I'd do.

Even though I said you don't need to tell your parents, at your age it'll be a great way to gain confidence talking about these things. Then it'll be easier when you do go to see a counselor.

Yeah, kinda what I'm saying.
Personally I think you need to stay away from the internet and technology all togeather. It helped me

and try to do other things more often. The only problem with doing this is my interests changed and everyone I;m friends with all of a sudden becomes boring. So I wouldn't suggest taking the fast lane, but your only young so you have no need to rush to find a solution. Just need to calm down a little and take a break away from everything, like a vacation.

It may be unrelated to the topic at hand. But where helping a very good member of the driver madness forums.
