I am really worried about concentration | ADHD Information

I wish I had known about the log book way. It took me forever to get my license, but I did finally get it and you can to SS. Don't give up. Even if you have to learn each part of it, little by little. I seem to learn better that way then having everything thrown at me at once. If you think there may be something more then the ADD, you may want to check that out too with your doc.

I still havent passed my driving test, its been too long! I have had 4 instructors, all who have said my concentration is terrible.

Is it just my concentration or is there something wrong with me? I honestly cannot focus for longer than a minute. I am worried, is it something other than ADD? X

Do you have the log book way of getting your license?

Where you can make off one thing at a time each lesson? Thats how I got mine.

Oh, and I stopped having any sugar at all until I passed.

Do u know what guys, I wish we could do the log book way!

OUr test is like this -

We just get in the car with an examiner, never seen before. For 40 minutes.

He then takes u for a drive.

You are allowed 15 minor mistakes,

but not one big mistake thats it!

I have been getting below 15 minors but always get one or 2 majors.

I may cut out the sugar, that would be a good idea, but I do eat loads of sugar! I have 2 choc bars a day, packet of sweets, always junk food!! Dont know how I manage to stay a size 8?

I HOPE I PASS, IT'S GETTING ME DOWN. I AM JEALOUS OF EVERYONE WHO CAN FOCUS.

I didn't get mine til I was 25

Sarah,

Most people with AD(H)D have other issues as well. Do you think you might be overly anxious? Are you anxious or worried more often than not?

Anxiety and depression are two of the most common "co-morbid" conditions that may accompany ADHD.
