Do I Have ADHD?

That awkward moment when you try to take an ADHD test only to get distracted and not finish it...

Damn this is the highest score I’ve gotten on any test smh

Organising and prioritizing tasks is piss easy. It is remembering to stick to the plan that is my biggest problem.

Lake outside window looks very nice

How many here can honestly say they can sit through a whole YouTube video you are interested in, without having the urge to get up and tell someone about it?

Do you organize your bookshelf like that to see if it’ll trigger a response? Lol

"Inefficient bopping around" is a perfect description of my life

i think as an adult its weird to answer these, because as we grow up we develope strategies to deal with this, i make lists to keep thoughts in order, organize stuff in ways it cant be forgoten, have routines almost like a tik of checking phone, keys, knife wallet in my pockets... its why i dont loose stuff much anymore, its why i can hold down a job as a mechanic. we can even benefit from using our hyperfocus as a plus

I relate to these so much I always thought it was just my personality or me being dumb

The test starts at 2.25 for those fast forwarding through the talking. 1=sometimes 2=often, 3=very often.

Reading the comment section, while listening in 1.75 x speed, and also looking at my discord messages, and also having a calculator at hand.

The fact that I replay 3x the first few minutes beacuse I immediately forgot how many numbers are there in the rating 😅

Me: *has diagnosed ADHD/ADD and started medication recently* Also me: Hmm do I have?

I was a 2 or higher on every one. Always thought I was just broken. Nice to hear I am not alone and others have gone through all this. I'm 25 and am having a consult with my Dr tomorrow.

for the people who can't follow and keep phasing in and out of the symptoms he mentioned, here's the list: 1. careless (accidental) mistakes, fails to give close attention to details during tasks. 2. Difficulty sustaining attention. 3. does not seem to listen when spoken to 4. does not follow through or has difficulty finishing undesirable tasks, 5. difficulty organising belongings or tasks 6. often avoids or dislikes concentration tasks 6.misplaces things 8 easily distracted 9. forgetful in daily activities.

Very good way of explaining ADHD. The confusing thing about it is that many symptoms overlap with depression. I think that's why I only got formally diagnosed at 34. I'm sure I have both ADHD and depression, but stimulants have a much larger impact on my brain than anti-depressants, so think I'm more ADHD than depressive.

When my girlfriend asks me (for the 4th time, because she knows me and gives me a lot of chances) to look if there is enough space in the big paper bin in our backyard for those boxes we want to throw away. And I'm like 'sure, I will try really hard this time!' and I'm leaving our apartment and in my head I'm like 'look into the bin! look into the bin! look into the bin!..' and I'm halfway down the stairs (we live on the highest floor in the building) and I'm still like 'look into the bin! Look into...' Next thing I remember is being almost at the supermarket, writing my girl that it just didn't work... But she's super cool and she loves me the way I am and she is very supportive to me finally getting my diagnosis. (Found out that I might have ADHD about a week ago and I'm over thirty.. so ^^ that's the way we go now) <3 much love from Germany, I hope my fellow tribe is doing great

I remember being asked if I had ADHD when I was a kid. I think everyone treated it as a joke because I was a very restless child. But as I grow older, I think if I've been undiagnosed. The best way I can describe myself is that I am easily distracted yet I don't pay attention to anything in particular. I struggle with anxiety, because I don't trust my brain. I always fear I forgot something, I put something in a place and completely forget about it, I have a hard time doing things slowly (walking especially), I check my backpack 30 times because even though I know I put things inside, I just HAVE to make sure they're there, I talk too fast and too loud, I do 10 tasks at once and finish maybe 2 of them. My attention span is literally the worst.

I've already got a diagnosis but oh boy it made me laugh when after four minutes i got fed up with the slow speed, sped up to 1,5x and just sighed out in relief :'D
