Do I have ADD?

I have missed many classes, I accidentally missed a test, and I skipped labs recently. I was bad before, and then I strung together a good week of class attendance, and now its even worse. I’m scared I will fail exams. My academic performance is struggling. I feel that I am wasting hours away doing nothing. I REALLY need help. I want to do well academically and I feel I am smart enough to do well I just can’t discipline myself and concentrate on my work! I am staying up till 6 AM and 7 AM and sleeping through half the day.

Maybe.

Then again, you might just not give enough of a sh*t about school to pay any attention.

Talk to your doctor about medication. If it helps you, you have it. If it cracks you out and makes you feel like your heart is about to explode, you don’t have it.

First I’d like to say thank you Micheal for replying to my post. Secondly, it definitely doesnt sound like you have ADD. Now Im no expert, but I did date a guy with ADD before, thats why we are not together today… Third, it may be what XENO DRAGON suggested- or it could be that you are way too relaxed. Some people need alot of discipline to keep them on track, especially when they are overwhelmed. Take some time to reflect on what else is going on in your life. Get rid of some things or people that might be extra baggage.
