Do I have ADD/ADHD? Please help!?

Question

Well, I'm always underestimated in my family P.S. I'm the black sheep, or at least I think I am.

It's hard for me to do simple tasks and it really bothers me a lot because my family always insult me when I couldn't do things in order.

And I have a hard time making the best decision for myself, I always lead myself to astray and make myself worse each and everyday.

I'm very addicted to the computer as well.

Now, I feel very underestimated. I never been smart all my life, I get bad grades and all.

It's just.. hard to make good decisions seem to be my #1 problem.

Is this ADD? Please tell me, thanks.

Answer 1

hi...when you say that your family insults you, are you speaking of your parents as well?  If not, then please go and discuss this with your parents and maybe you can begin seeing a therapist to sort out what is bothering you, and then you may have a more complete answer to your question...if your parents are insulting you, (and if they are, I apologize for them because they should not be doing that), maybe you can speake to a close relative like an aunt/uncle/older cousin, and they can offer you some help...best of luck, honey.

Answer 2

The first thing you need to realize is that practially everyone has or will feel like "the black sheep" sometimes in their life and everyone will be critisized and everyone will find some things really hards to do, but that doesn't mean you don't have its. Also see if you can concetrate on something for long periods of time, it's alot to do with a person's concetration ADD, not just if they aren't able to complete taskes as sucsesful as other people think they should. I would sugest you go to your local GP and tell he/she what you told us, there are tests available to tell if you have its or not, so you should ask your doc for its to know for certain and if you do have its, then there are medications available to help people with its, so don't worry. :] Hope this helps. :]
