I have all the symptoms you mentioned so far. Maybe you are unmotivated MOST of the time, but I bet when you get your mind going on something, you take it to the extreme. Is that true?
Do you feel anxiety or irritability often?
Are there moments of discontent or hopelessness?If you want to look into some disorders on your own first, go to th NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health.) They are the lead federal agency on it. here's a link:

But don't be too quick to diagnose yourself. It might appear that you have one, but that is usually not the case, so don't be too quick to diagnose youself.
