hey everyone I had some questions.
I'm don't have ADHD or ADD as far as I know, but I think I might. Lately I've just been going nuts.
my dad had ADD, and my sister has ADD, and we all have the same food allergies too.
when I was a little kid I was always really hyper but I guess I assumed it was normal.. and since I was a little kid people let me act that way. but I'm 14 now and I am stilll soooo hyper and even I know it but I can't control it.
well lately I've noticed some things and it worries me. Like I've always read super fast. but if I slow down and try to concentrate, I'll have no idea what I just read.
I can't sit for long periods of time without feeling like I'm going insane. At school and church my mind constantly wanders. like what I'm going to do the next day, and multiple things.
I zone out a lot.
I can't stick with one thing.. I can't even watch a movie. I constantly need to be talking. that's the biggest thing. if you let me I'll talk all night.
and like in math I make really stupid mistakes, and sometimes I'll just completely zone out and forget whatever I just did.
Even my friends tease me and say I have ADD.
and the number one thing is... I am so hyper for a 14 year old. sometimes I drive myself nuts but I can't stop! I just have to.. if you know what I mean.
and.. I'll know what I want to say but not be able to say it.. I have a really hard time telling stories..
and sometimes I'll walk into a room and forget what someone told me to get, or what I wanted to do or say.. (like just now that happened)
well I am getting kind of concerned.. because it's really effecting me I think..
I just wanted to know if I just think too much about it and have convinced myself of something.. or if I should actually tell my mom I need help.
it seems like the only thing I can do anymore is do stuff on the computer.
I've never told my mom any of this. In my own mind it just seemed normal. But now that I am older I know it's not.
any ideas?
