Having major problems concentrating!

Question

I am 30 years old, and i've been having the worst time concentrating on anything...especially work. I just dont want to do work. I'm taking antidepressants...i'm feeling like they're not working...maybe i should take something for ADD?

Answer 1

Do it.

If it doesn't work. don't do it.

Everything is worth a try.

I tried ADD pills but it only works sometimes for me.  

We all have struggles.  

Answer 2

Maybe. No not maybe, you should stop the drugs and focus on a healthy diet and exercise.  

Answer 3

Hmm, well I think the problem you are having is not with your self, but with your environment. You see, when I find something extremely uninteresting, I find it difficult to concentrate on that thing. It will take me a Herculean effort and would take a huge toll on me, when I try to focus all my energy on it.

The way I see it, it could be your job, love-life/family-life or anything that is connected with you, that only you can find. The best way to deal with it is to go for a vacation, or in the extreme case move to a new area/job etc.

Well, I recommend vacation anyway and try to do something adventurous like bungee jumping or speed boat racing that will get your adrenaline pumping. Vacation, I hope, will cool you off and restart your brain.

Best of luck

See a doctor, you really can't be diagnosed over the internet.
