Jimmy --
Don't take stigmatising labels from psych professionals too seriously. Psychiatrists, psychologists, et al. who say things to patients like "you're lazy" or "your personality is flawed" are making things worse, not better (even in cases when what they're saying is true).
If I were in your situation, I'd look into treatments known to be effective for ADHD. This mainly means psychostimulants like Ritalin and amphetamine, but some antidepressants such as Wellbutrin and the monoamine oxidase inhibitors are also effective in some cases.
G'luck.
