Hey , i need help

[Egyman]

I just don't know whether i do have ADHD or not , but i am experiencing some problems , first of all i cant concentrate 5 mins , when i try to study or do something i even like i get distracted more than 20 times a hour yk, i actually counted them once , sometimes or most of the times i get distracted by literally nothing ,not the mobile not the computer literally nothing ,one second i am studying the next second i find my self looking at no where thinking about some really unimportant things , like who does the printer works , or what if they didn't discover gall bladder ,idk some silly things that 80% i don't remember , i like wake up and realize there is like 5 mins that i don't know what i was doing in them.

this isn't procrastinating , i do this even if i have an exam after 20 mins , i just cant do this .

ps :

1 - my English isn't that good but i hope you understood me

2 - i coudn't consult a doctor , i tried but whenever i sit in front one of them i get anxious , shaky and just not able to express what i am going throug

any help is appreciated

Hi Egyman, it does sound like you may have ADD Inattentive type since your focus and concentration are so weak. The random thoughts are things which take practice to redirect and refocus. Tell yourself: "Now, is this important/what I'm working on or something that needs to be ignored?" You may have to do this dozens of times daily. Make some short-term goals and see yourself completing them. I would recommend starting a journal defining yourself and your goals. By the way, we all have to deal with random thoughts, as our brains are complex. Don't beat yourself up about not wanting to see a doctor right now. You can consider it and decide when you're ready.

Thanks for your reply,

I went to a doctor, yes he said I have add

He recommended a talk therapy (not sure it's the right word) to cure stressors such as depression and suicidal thoughts, he said this will help me

He also recommended taking (modanifil) as a stimulant

Thanks again

You're welcome. I still recommend highly using a journal to express your thoughts and emotions. There's something about having to organize ideas on paper that leads us to have a more structured thought process. Hope that you prescription works well for you.
