Do I have ADHD and/or Anxiety?

So I really started noticing I couldn't pay attention to what the teacher was saying even when I wanted to around a year ago. I would listen for like 2 minutes and zone out and start thinking about other things. I also noticed it when I had a job in fast food, it took me over 2 months to learn around 80% of kitchen which I should've learned in 2 weeks. Whenever they would try to tell me to something I'd immediately zone out and either have them repeat it or I would just fuck up. Another thing is I overthink everything, like last night I laid in bed for 3 hours trying to sleep but I couldn't stop thinking about different shit and I kept trying to make a conclusion on things that are stressing me out. Also I was talking to this girl for 2 months and the next day I just didn't like her anymore and cut her off slowly. I feel like this is going to ruin my life in the future if I don't do anything soon.

What do I have guys and should I see a therapist?

 

Me being in the Medical Field I would say you have ADHD and should see your Primary Care and they will refer you out to a Psychiatrist and they can prescribe you adderall or something related. It would probably help alot from the sound of your current situation.

 

Thanks so much man!

 

Ofcourse

 

I myself have ADHD and can speak from experience in regards to the medication they give you. It turns you into a zombie. Your focus definitely improves, but my appetite was almost non-existent. From the time the drug kicks in and wears off you will have no desire to eat. Which I suppose is good if you could lose a few pounds but its certainly not a healthy weight loss. I took this for years throughout school and after stopping I notice my focus is lacking but I feel like I can handle it on my own accord as I got older.

 

Yeah that's kind of what I'm afraid of, I'm already extremely skinny as is. If whatever my therapist prescribes me puts me worse off in terms of other things then I might just have to live with it.

 

Yeah, I was the same way. I weighed close to 150 pounds prior to starting the medication. I stopped prior to joining the Marines at which point I weighed only 110 pounds at 5 foot 8. I actually had to get an underweight waiver to join the Marines.

 

Damn man that's crazy, I weigh like 130 right now and am about to start hitting the gym with some buddies so I'm gonna have to put on a little more weight. Hopefully the medicine they give me won't do this to me.

 

Go to the gym after the medication wears off clearly, eat clean and healthy for a bulk up and you should be alright. I myself did not go to the gym and I was a smoker which certainly did not help my case at the time

 

as someone with ADHD, it seems like you might have it too. it's not a bad thing, i think everyone has it to a different extent.
