Are these ADD symptoms or me over-reacting?

Question

Could someone tell me if the following things are, in fact, signs that I have ADD? I feel like they are, but I want to make sure I'm not exaggerating.

- Putting down one book or website to impulsively read another, then going back, and repeating this dozens of times throughout the day.

- Constantly getting up and walking around because I feel restless.

- Procrastinating despite my best efforts not to

- Getting incredible, high-quality amounts of work done in short, unpredictable bursts.

- Flipping through the pages of a book while stuck in traffic or at a long stop light.

- Being unable (or not wanting to) sleep without TV, a music playlist, or an audio lecture on in the background.

- Feeling as though no matter how hard I work or successful I become, I'm just a slipup away from losing it all.

Any input or feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks so much!

Answer 1

doesn't sound like it to me . my daughter is adhd. and her symptoms are not like these. she is extremely hyper. of course. she babbles when she doesn't have her med, she's very unorganized. can't complete tasks very well. very forgetful because her attention isn't there to remember. but she's young, and u might have adult add. although it doesn't really sound like it to me

Answer 2

Well it sounds more of OCD then ADD. See your doctor!

Answer 3

Jeez, I just stumbled upon this by mistake, and I am currently suffering from 8 of the 10 symptoms you have listed out, plus insomnia. I am waiting to hear other people's reply to this!

Answer 4

No i truly believe your over reacting everything you do is perfectly normal. I believe any qualified doctor would agree.
