KillerFish - you may have ADHD - but if you really want to know you need to see your doctor
I need help from people who have experience! I need honesty, does it sound like i have adhd, or am i using it as an excuse because im lazy??!!!
In certain subjects I find it very hard to concentrate, and I find it almost impossible to begin or finish a long task, such as sorting out my room, or a long piece of coursework, or things that require a lot of mental effort. Sometimes I feel an urge to do something like tidy out my cupboards and I empty the contetns of my cupboard and then fell that I don’t want to finish it.
I have trouble drifting off to sleep at night, because I really don’t want to go to sleep. Its at that point that I have the most energy. I lie down to go to sleep, and then get impatient because Im not asleep!!! I don’t know if that’s really weird. I also then find it hard to get up in the mornings because im tired from the night before. And I cant get out of bed
My friends ALWAYS complain when I tell stories, because I sepak really fast and I’ll say or see something that’ll trigger off another memory and I’ll start telling that story, and I never ever finish a story. (im even finding it hard to remember to put in commas and full stops!!)
I always do stupid things and my friends and teachers and parents are all like “why do you do things like that?” and im like “I don’t know” and I really don’t know.
Sometimes I feel myself snapping at teachers and my mum and dad, but Im very creative. Not that their linked, but I didn’t want to start another paragraph for that!!
I always leave things to the last minute, im always late, and im very forgetful and disorganized and I always find Im tapping without realiszing, and someone always tells me to stop, and I don’t even know im doing it.
But I also feel that it could be that im very lazy, because I sometimes cant be bothered to do things, and I cant be bothered to excecise sometimes. And Im being completely honest by saying that. And I don’t know whether its that im lazy or if I have it. Can someone reply and tell me HONESTLY what they think, because I really don’t know.
Also it seems like sometimes I can be very distracted and other times, I cant STOP doing something! Also sometimes, I feel really nervous around people, and other times, I really don’t care what certain people think of me. Its soo confusing! Spmebody help!
Thankyou guys!Dude. 4 simple words. welcome to my world.
