Hello,
Little information about me. I am 22 years old, studying CA and working in accounting firm. I know, it is safe to go professional doctor for checking of ADHD, but till that time, i want your opinion on my problem.
I will give some symptoms i am suffering with
1. i can sit ideal, even i am studying or thinking, i continuously move my body front and back. It is going for years. If i try to sit straight without moving my body, my brain goes heavy and i can’t concentrate. My parents think i lack concentration, thats why i can’t sit ideal.
2. While writing, i forget what i am actually trying to write and write something else. For example, If i am trying to write” My name is XYZ” but sometimes i write”my name is Z” without releasing that i made mistake, i move ahead. Then if i read the same sentence, then it hits me that i have made a mistake. Happens with me lots of time. I eat words while writing, later remembering that forgot to write this word. So if i miss few words in this question, then i am sorry
3. During office work, my client continuously complaint that i do very silly mistake like forgot to write amount or wrong amount or wrong client name or wrong calculation. In short i mess up during copying name from files or documents to computer or vice versa. Important thing is that, while doing it i am almost sure that i am doing correctly.But later realizing (mostly through clients) that i made quite a lot mistakes. My employer compliments me by saying i am very smart and bright, but this mistake hurts my reputation and performance
4.Now problem of under performance. I study like hell. Sometimes 20-22 hrs. But i still get very less marks or failure in may subjects. It doesn’t make sense to me. It is not i am dull or something. But my performance in studies with my peers is very low. My friends mostly study 10-14 hrs and still score much much higher marks than me. I know quality of study does matter, but it is the excuse i was giving to myself till now. That i am not properly studying or they are spending qualitative time on studies etc. But i am not convince and i know something is wrong.
5.i did some online test. I know it is not reliable but just for my information. I got 90-100 score in 2-3 online test i have done. In short, lots of symptoms mention on test and wikipedia of ADHD can be found in me
Main problem i am suffering is lack of parent support. They just telling me that i am not studying well or i need to work more hard. But i am already studying hard nearly 16 everyday at least. How much more they expect me to study? When i told them, about ADHD thing, they told me that i am making excuses. Actually i am not sure, whether they are excuses or i am really suffering from ADHD. I am really disturb. If you thinking why i did’t realize about ADHD when i was child, reason is pretty simple, lack of awareness. I only knew one thing, if i am making mistake or getting less marks, it mainly because of lack of concentration or other reason like i am not disciplined etc etc.
It has been mildly suggested to me over the years, but never seriously. It’s not until recently that I started noticing how difficult it is for me to concentrate … on anything even remotely boring.
When I was in gradeschool (1-12) I made decent grades and never seemed to have a problem even in the more advanced/time consuming classes. However, these classes highly stressed me. I had a very difficult time sitting down and studying and often pulled all nighters with maybe 1-2 hours actual study involved and usually ended up getting distracted by anything and everything around me. I never thought much of it though since my grades stayed on par. (usually 30 min of proper study was plenty for me to learn concepts)
Now I’m at the uni of texas and the classes are very difficult and time consuming. I’m failing and my grades are slipping. I don’t party/drink, have 2-3 close friends, I usually spend my time at home trying to study and getting distracted by everything.
I’ll sit down to study and within 15-20 minutes I get so fidgety and bored I literally feel the desperate need to get up or do something else. I find myself staring and daydreaming almost constantly in class or I end up falling asleep. I fidget constantly (and always have). I find large social situations nearly intolerable for long terms because theres so much stimulus it overwhelms me. I dread going to class or studying because it’s so frustrating and boring and often tend to put off studying because of it.
I’m so frustrated with myself. Everyone seems to have such an easy time with school and I’m struggling despite knowing that I’m smart enough to do the work. I was raised with the mentality that if you can’t concentrate you just need more discipline but I’m getting a little desperate. I’m tired of wasting me and my parents money on a bad GPA and failed courses.
Do you think I may have ADD/ADHD or am I just a loser? ;/
The main ADD/ADHD problem I see is I don’t think I had that many symptoms before age 7. I don’t really know though. I never even remotely had trouble in school (or felt I had to study at all) until about 11th grade and even did my hw right before class etc.
Help please. I need to justify myself getting a pro diagnosis.
my son is four and an only child. hes not very social. he doesnt like playing with other kids at all. that is also a problem. the main problem is he cant or wont focus. he just started school three weeks ago. this is also his first time in any class room hes always been at home with me. so hes very shy and likes to play alone and doesnt share well. hos teacher says he is add or adhd or has aspergers disease. i read the signs and he doesnt really have any, so how do i teach my son to focus sit still and be quiet, . he understands he is supposed and tries too, but hes used to free play
any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. my child is a loner not retarded, i hate that teacher hang an adhd or add diagnose on an active child its not right
any advice on dealing with the teacher too, i feel shes giving up on my child and not giving him a chance
my son will be five in february. he is not the youngest nor the oldest in his class but he is one of only a few that are only children.
I think my main problems are that I’m autistic and ADHD and really shy so I fidget and just look really awkward and when I do try to talk to the girl I like if I can get myself to say much in the first place it sounds odd and makes her feel uncomfortable cause she knows I like her.
Recently, I notice that I may in fact be diagnosed with ADHD. My friend told me all the symptoms for ADHD and I was suprised that I had many of these symptoms. The main problem is that because of my ADHD, I am unable to focus during exam time and end up doing poorly on the exam. Are there any ways to cure this disorder without taking pills or medications?
I’m currently debating on my major and psychology seems to be my main interest. The only problem is, I’m not too sure of what careers are available if I focus on this subject.
Can anyone provide me with specifics on which careers will be available and what is required?
I have had stomach aches for about 2-3 yrs. I have ADHD and even when I don’t take my medicine I still get them. I also get them before I eat anything. I get them usually after the first 30 min – 1 hour after I wake up.
I have an associates in computers and an A+ verification so you could say I’m slightly knowledgeable. Im 20 and I have worked for a high school doing computer repair and troubleshooting and a little bit of networking. I currently work for a school district doing the same thing. What can I do to learn how to run a network like the net admins I know. I have adhd so reading is hard but I would love to hear good networking book suggestions along with any answer thank you.
My daughter has a touch of ADHD and learning problems and I don’t want to put her on drugs that distort her mind. She has problems with short-term memory, processing speed, and being able to concentrate.
