Sometimes I find myself so consumed with my anxious and sometimes repetitive thoughts that it's difficult to concentrate on what I need to be focusing on. This can be anything from listening to a lecture while at school or even driving. I'll try (very hard) to "tune in" and try to focus, but my mind won't stay there very long.

If I'm feeling particularly anxious, it's nearly impossible to concentrate. Unfortunately this has had an effect on my school performance. I am still doing decent, but based on what I've done in the past I know I could be doing much, much better.

I am not a doctor. I can read on the internet, but I still may not understand some things completely. I have a DR Appt next week (and it cannot come soon enough) and will ask him this as well, but for now I'm asking here out of curiosity!

From several doctor visits before, I am positive I have an anxiety problem. However my receptive thoughts make me fear I may have some OCD and I wonder if my lack of being able to concentrate is ADHD.

Or perhaps all of this is from the anxiety?

Anyone have experience with this or is going through this? I am very curious about the OCD. I was never diagnosed as having attention issues as a child so I do doubt I have ADHD.
