I have never been diagnosed with anything, but i always felt like i cant pay attention to stuff as well as others... I still dont know if its within the normal range or if there is a serious problem with me.
Ever since i was a kid i never was really that good in school. I hated pretty much everything about it and was always too lazy to do the work. Always did homework at the last minute or not at all... and even when i did do it i BS'd it. I feel like to some extent i did care about my education so there were times when i got stuff done. But for the most part i was really lazy and failed several classes.
Aside from school, i always felt like i am lazier than everyone else and not able to learn things as quik as everyone else. I feel like everyone else is smarter than me and i feel like most of the time im not able to properly communicate my thoughts to people. I feel like im quieter than everyone else. My whole life ive been painfully shy. I wouldnt call it social anxiety because i dont get feelings of anxiety. I guess i get a little nervous. Im worried about how other people see me. Constantly thinking about what other people are thinking about me. And then i start to get depressed because i cant think of anything to say during a conversation. Its hard to explain. Especially right now for some reason i just feel out of it... But im very antisocial and can barely even look people in the eye when i talk to them. When someone i know is walking past me i get nervous and look away like if i didnt see them. Like if theyre strangers. I struggle with conversations and try to avoid them because most of the time i cannot think of anything to say so i cannot respond to the other person and it just becomes awkward
And when other people are talking to me i find it difficult to keep my attention on them. I always find myself distracted by my own thoughts or distracted by something thats going on around me. This happens almost all the time and i really have to try hard to listen to them if theyre giving me instructions or something or else ill fuck up...
Sometimes someone would be talking to me and i would catch myself not listening... so i try really hard to listen to them but i still cant hold on to every word theyre saying. I feel like theyre going to fast for me. Even when they repeat it i still miss out on some information... This doesnt happen all the time but it happens more than i think it should.
I just realized that all this could be a result of my health. I havent exercised in like 3 years and i eat out a lot and drink a lot of soda. But maybe im wrong... Maybe there is something wrong with me even if i was healthy.
I find myself forgetting things a lot as well.
I dont have any hyperactivity. If anything im the opposite. Im really laid back and really lazy.
Is there something wrong with me? Do i have ADD? Man i wish i can articulate this better... Its cuz recently ive been seeing a counsellor and he has implied that i have some symptoms of depression and ADD... And i was recently asked by another counsellor if i have ever been prescribed any medication and i told her about how i was prescribed something when i was little like 7 or 8... I cant remember the name of it... Might have been adderall though... to help me with attention. I told her i wasnt diagnosed with anything and she said "but you have to be diagnosed with something in order for the doctors to prescribe something to you"... i didnt know what to say... is that true? I have never heard of that. And To my knowledge i have never been diagnosed with anything. I didnt even think ADD was a possiblity for me until recently.
What do you guys think? Is there something wrong with me? Do you need to be diagnosed with something for doctors to prescribe you something?
