Im 18 and wondering about ADHD?
Cornflake asked:
I heard its not called ADD but rather ADHD now. I’m 18 and throughout high school and elementary school, I did not have to try very hard for good marks. Now I’m in first year university and it is a lot harder. But the thing is I cannot seem to pay attention in lectures for like 10 minutes straight. I always end up doodling/talking to the person next to me. Now im studying for finals and exams, and Im trying so hard to read the textbooks and study, but I get distracted by the computer and eating. I know most people get distracted easily when studying, but its ridicilous that I can’t seem to focus on my notes. I’ve already failed a midterm and a test because I simply didn’t want to study because I was unable to bring myself to do it. I’m not dumb, it just seems lately I have zero concentration. Not to mention the fact I love to procrastinate. But I’m 18 and I’m not like wild as in bouncing off the walls and stuff, but I do like to keep busy (shopping, sports etc). I don’t know if Im suffering a little from ADHD or something else? Help:)
Oh and when somebody is talking to me in a conversation, I often tend to zone out and stare at their forehead.
