I'm 21 years old and I'm not know if I should seek help. I scored a 98 on the self-test and have been told all my life that I'm oblivious to my surroundings and that I look like I'm on a different planet half the time. My mind wanders from topic to topic daily and I find myself daydreaming constantly. I've gotten into car accidents due to looking off into the woods instead of the road. I also cannot sustain conversations with people because my head feels constantly confused/disshevelled and this forces me to have scary anxious episodes. In school, I'm not able to focus on anything and it's literally torture to complete an assigned paper, read books, or sit through a class. My GPA is not anything to brag about. I'll sit at my desk at home and tell myself over and over that work needs to be done, but I can never get myself to do the work promptly and thoroughly. I'll sit through college lectures and by the end of the class, I find that I did not retain any of the information told to me in those 50-75 minutes and I become very frustrated. For as long as I can remember, I will check the clock several times every class I'm in because I wanna bust out of there. I'm very disorganized and I become very frustrated when it comes to school work, losing things, finding goals, and trying to sustain friendships. I'm constantly uptight and seem to be becoming more irritable the older I get...My parents have always thought of psychiatry as a last resort due to personal past reasons... Help?
