So Much untapped potential that these kids don’t even know they have. Our public schools are failing students.

[@darrylkinslow5613]

You probably were stupid, since the "discoverer" of ADHD said he made it up in order to medicate kids who don't need medications. If you were scoring in the top 90%, it's not possible you have ADHD, people with ADHD supposedly don't have that kind of focus.

Thank you for spreding some awareness and education on ADHD

[@M1SSC0RPSE]

Oh my god this is exactly what I do every single day. I have a lot of stuff to do for university but I always leave them for a day/couple of days before the deadline and do everything at the last minute in a hurry. I haven't been diagnosed with ADHD or something though, I feel like if I start talking to my mother about this and suggest I may have it (judging by your explanation) she'll probably pretty much just wave it off as me making up stuff that I don't have, etc (when I went from saying that I have a fear of spiders to I have arachnophobia she was like "you're making yourself think stuff like this about you blah blah" and this was YEARS ago and yet it still stuck with me all this time even though my memory is very shit and I rarely remember stuff). I actually don't even know what kind of doctor does these tests and (possibly) diagnoses you.

[@rogueisded]

I do this too!

[@caluhhhb]

This isn't ADHD. I do this same thing too when I'm not working out of laziness, and it's something I've been doing since I was 11. A full 10 years. You don't have ADHD, especially if you think that's the reason why.

[@M1SSC0RPSE]

@@caluhhhb we know this isn't enough for a solid diagnose, also we aren't doctors. Until a person is tested by a professional you can't know for sure whether he has it or not. I'm just saying that I really relate to what that person has said. Also it's not just avoiding doing work, I avoid most human interactions. I rarely go out (even before the pandemic), I try my best to avoid talking and meeting people, I prefer to be in my room, alone. I don't have high social needs unlike normal people, I could go days without meeting with anyone.

For everyone who watches this and comes to the conclusion they DON'T have ADHD: You are not necessarily LAZY! I know the title implies it is either one or the other, but it's not! There are lots of things that can cause you to struggle. There is also, for example, executive function disorder. Or it is perfectly possible, that you don't have a (biological) disorder and are struggling for other reasons. Procrastination and lack of focus is an issue LOTS of people have problems with and it does NOT mean laziness! You are not alone. You are not lazy. But if you want to improve the first step is to try to understand yourself. I recommend the book "Procrastination" by Burka&Yuen

@@sill.yb0nes that's true as well

[@dermaniac5205]

@@sill.yb0nes Again you create this dichotomy between mental illness and laziness. It's not necessarily one or the other. Lots of social and personality issues can lead to procrastination. For example, if your parents have high expectations you might procrastinate because you are afraid to do your best and still disappoint. Then you prefer to do nothing, because at least then you can tell yourself you could have done it if you tried. Or you are a perfectionist who is always looking for the perfect way to do something, then you despair because you can't find a perfect solution, and then do nothing. There are even people (often women) who are afraid of being stigmatized if they achieve too much, so they slack off. These are just some of many examples that can lead to someone *appearing* lazy. Assuming that they are either sick or lazy just puts those people under more pressure, making the issue worse!

Imagine arguing with yourself in the shower, but instead of being consistent and concise on one topic. You're jumping from one issue to another like you're about to address every world problem on a list in 2 minutes just because one problem after another was even remotely relevant to the next. That is what it is like having ADHD. Its not hard getting us focused on something, the hard part is keeping us focused. Think of it as being free spirited by nature and hard to keep bound by rules, plans, etc. We do like having things that keep us busy, but we don't like being necessarily organized with it, even if it helps us. The best way I can describe this type of mentality is by calling it a "freelancer" mindset.

Hey, we are here and we care. At least I do and I'm sure there are others. I am sorry that you are treated like that. No matter if you have ad(h)d or not (undiagnosed or not), nobody should be treated like that. Rarely anybody is actually lazy (because it's against human nature). And if something doesn't work or go the way you hoped than that always has a reason. We don't always know why we just can't seem to do something, but nobody should be shamed for it. It is not your fault. It's not your fault you can't focus. It's not your fault you can't start. It's not your fault you forget things. And it is definitly not your fault that other think they know you better than you do and try to force that on you. I am sorry for your situation. But my advice is to stay close to yourself and close to those who support you for doing so. Good luck and we care!

I highly recommend people to be tested for ADHD if they struggle with these sorts of things like I do; there’s no harm in checking, even if the result is that you don’t, and it’ll be one thing to check off the list of possible reasons!

I relate a lot to the things in this video I’m glad I found it.

[@starwarriorterra8373]

I'm in a very similar boat, though it's a struggle bringing it up in my case because I've never had any noteworthy external issues pop up. Aside from one mental disaster I dealt with which is easily attributable to my anxiety, I've never showcased any warning flags that I struggle with any mental disorders at all. However, I tend to entirely relate to anyone speaking on how ADHD feels to them, so I definitely suspect having it at this point. I've been so trained to believe bringing it up is just searching for excuses, though, and it's a further struggle that I don't have anything to point to externally that says "I'm having issues with my mental state." I look well-organized, focused and in control pretty regularly, whether with academics or work, but I know I'm not really; I just have enough brute force to keep it going.

Try talking to your school counselor if not a teacher who will listen to you?

The "this doesn't mean you don't need professional diagnosis" in the beginning is the only thing stopping me from screaming "I HAVE ADHD"

[@ranmakuro]

It is not easy to get diagnosed, because where I live here are very rare professionals having a plan how to detect ADHD in adults properly, so you often get misdiagnosed for depression or borderline disorder and such. But you never get treated right and that's an issue. I found out ADHD is the gordish knot of all my problems, diagnosis and disabilities. It's the root. You actually can say if you might have ADHD or not and most adults I met are upset about their suspicion. I mean we all are educated to not want to have a kind of sickness. We all do feel ashamed when we might have it. We all are told to not be an attention seeker or tell lies. So we don't. We claim a diagnosis only when there is no other option and we fight it until each doubt has died. Go for it. Have a look on ADHD treatments and find out what's working for you to get along better. There is no failure nor betrayal nor guilt in it. The first step is seeking help. Not in case of an illness, but disability and disfunction.
