Do I haveI Add? and wrote my problems

[Only one]

Hey everyone...I am 19yrs old, male..
I'm impatient so I think I submitted this twice

I think I have ADD. I have trouble listening to people when they talk to me, in the middle of the conversation i'll start thinking about other things and when I get my head straight back in the convo I have noo idea what the person just said..Isolation.. I have trouble going to sleep because a whole bunch of things will be going through my mind..I start things and don't finish things..I'm forgetful..I can't concentrate at all my mind always jumps to something else..I can't read a book its hard like sometimes in class I would read the same page over and over for an half hour and still have no clue of what I just read and if I see a book i'll Read a couple pages then try to see the end, sigh look at it and put it aside and I can check magazines but mostly just look at the pictures ..I'm always moving kinda ..I get mad when people can't do simple easy obvious things ..I feel as though I see things better than people, I like think outside the box like when I come up with something its always better than the other person idea or whatever.. even as I'm typing this I've paused multiple times thinking about a completely different thing..I try out alottt of things but always stop and do something new and its just repetition..I can't think of anymore at the moment

But I need help! This is ruining my life man
-I work and new employees remember everything more than me because I forget and work is like nothing to me and at work someone can tell me something like a customer or my boss and i'll completely forget what they just said and sometimes they'll bring up what they just said like "did you remember to do this?" And i'll be like "uhhhhhhh" "ummm"...its not cool cuz I can get in big trouble one day get fired then what?

-social life is bad. I will not talk to most people because I don't know anything and when we talk I don't know what they are saying then i'll end up looking stupid or like I don't really care then I have to pretend I'm messing with them or joking. But I try so hard but no. I don't have many friends none just a teeny lil bit...its not cool cuz I don't want to be by myself all the time and I want to have friends and do things

-at school I get things done late or don't do it at all and I always seem lucky at the end of the school year and pass..my grades usually A's - B's when my special friend is constantly on me but when she's not its usually C's and some D's...its not cool cuz I can't even take school serious or when I get work I just F it up do it laterrrr

I feel as though that I have alot of potential, I feel like I can be up there and do things yuh know? But this problem is slowing down everything and ruining things for me

* also I'm a laid back guy, shy ish I guess, I'm energetic, loyal ...most people say I'm a good person well I haven't found one that said I wasn't, sometimes people will say Im always complaining or I'm annoying them and I mostly annoy ppl if I'm having alot of fun or bored, people say I'm always respectful I smile alot, some people say I nvr want to do anything and so on lol

Yes, I'm afraid you do, welcome to the club, hehe

[sarahsweets]

it could be adhd or another disorder so see a doctor.

Haha welcome to the club...but yea I'm trying to go see a doctor/therapist right away but money is kinda tight at the moment and I don't have any insurance. So if you have ADD you most likely need to go to the doctor for help?

See the doc yes, and also ask to be tested for ADHD or something like it if they don't mention it, because I went to the doctor for 8 years with my symptoms then finally I asked to be tested for ADD and that was the main problem all along. They diagnosed me with about 7 different things first. And don't worry about it... once you work out what the issue is, you'll be able to start reversing the negative things, you can change it.

If you want to ask me anything about it you can send me a message, I was only diagnosed in the last week, but I have been working on the symptoms for ages without medication.

Sorry I missed that bit. Try to get to the doctor because a small price now will save you a lot of trouble in the long run. But in the meantime, if you can't for a while, try to look at psychological ways of helping yourself. You can find different treatments online to help with things. I hate doing almost everything, but I do certain psych things that help me do more.

Yea I need to see a doctor fast nd I was trying to go see a therapist a friend told me about but im guessing they're expensive and I dont have much money because I have to pay for school this semester...and i'll msg you Cassepipe thanks....I'm also wondering like does anyone feel the same way as I do like with social life and everything else?

Hey bro, what's up I totally get how you feel man. I'm new to this forum but I had tthe same problem... I had adhd when I was around five.. never went away.. I had a very supportive family who wanted the best from me so they pushed me to do good.. what im getting to is that they took mme off the pills man... worst decision ever.. im 20 years old now.. I have the same issues.. high-school was bull.. I was one of the brightest but never did my hw.. studied or anything.. I'm an outside the box person and people open their eyes when i speak..

I just recently seen a Doctor and told him the same story your telling us.. no. questions asked and i got my pills..

man I ask that you don't live your life like this anymore .. I feel like I've waisted my life away.. always trying tto do something but could never stick with it.. even relationships.
it sounds like you have ADHD to me. I'm guessing you probably just turned 19 or so.. but heyy it gets worse bro.. trust me..
