Starting to wonder if I have ADHD

[HellHound]

Sounds a lot like everybody on the planet.

The mere act of grinding through it is nigh-impossible.

Do you legitimately not believe it's a thing? Have we really not gotten past that?

agreed completeley

adhd makes you not be able to focus. there ain't nothin fun about it. i gotta pop a pill every day or i fail my classes.

this... seriously. i hate it, i can't focus and i make myself look like a blubbering handicap if i'm not on the pill

[Swollow]

I have all these symptoms
sounds like 100% bullstuff that I would have adhd
some people just have more difficulties focusing on things

I know ADHD is a thing, I've met people with serious ADHD (and god they are so obnoxious when they're off their pills), but it's so grossly over-diagnosed. Given that roughly half the people in this thread claim they have ADHD, you can see where I'm coming from - different people have different levels of patience. Just because you can't focus on boring stuff doesn't make you have a disorder, it just means you're less patient and get bored easily - and guess what, that's super common.

hi im frankie i had diagnosed add and ive been on the pill since 4th grade and i can assure you it isnt fake science

Right, well, if you're "wondering" if you have ADHD, you don't. If you have ADHD, you will have already known by the time you start wondering if you have it. Still, I seriously doubt that half of the people in this thread legitimately have ADHD because about half of you are saying that. I lose focus often, too, but I don't have a disorder.
