Am i suffering from add or am i just lazy?

Question

I am very forgetful and i lose things easily. I try to be organized but i am not too successful. well i can sit in one place but have trouble sleeping still and not moving. But i am good at studies (well an average in studies). I daydream a lot. I have many things going in my mind. I have social problems because I am painfully shy(extremely). I recently found out about ADD and ADHD. I am quite sure I don't have hyperactivity but i can't concentrate much. Like i can't finish a novel. i can only finish it if i read it at one standing. But i am not sure if i have ADD.

Answer 1

I think that's just YOUR personality my friend. If that's the kind of person you are and can't help it, well then that's how you are! Try to change your habits if you can. I don't believe you have ADD but it wouldn't hurt to seek a psychiatrists.  

Answer 2

you are describing me to a T

Answer 3

im pretty sure you have it

i got combined

you got add  dont be ashamed you have a gift called creativety

id recomend meds but once you start them you shouldent stop

because they help you so much that you get used to them and if your off of them  things seem harder than ever

i know exactly how u feel i can pass and still feel ******* retarded in to middle of class i will get up and ask people if they think i have cancer

Answer 4

Answer 5

You'll never know for sure unless you get evaluated by a physician. Get checked out because it may help your life tremendously!

Answer 6

You definatly sound like you could have it. But you should talk to your doctor, or phyciatrist if you have one.

And, it's very common for people with ADHD/ADD to feel like they're lazy, stupid, etc. But you're not.
