My pdoc doesn't want to diagnose AD/HD because it is not impacting my life in the way she associates AD/HD to impact their life. I have mentioned this in some of my post recently.

Anyways, the symptoms of my AD/HD impact me socially, my sleeping habits, and how fast I get this done.

How it affects me socially:

This one is kinda a grey area because I have social anxiety, and my pdoc and I think I have ASD (which my mom is in denial about to get me to see a specialist), so I already have a lot of social difficulties. With AD/HD, it impacts me by interrupting people (which I just recently noticed this symptom now), I look around and get not only distracted by things going on around me, but by my thoughts. I don't even know what people say but I just agree with them because it's usually not a question.

My sleeping habits:

I tend to right before bed get all the things I forgot to do in the day in my head like "oh I have homework" or "oh I have a test" so I end up staying late to get things done. That's just me. So I usually get 5-7 hours of sleep on weekdays, and sleep for 10-12 hours on weekends because I lack sleep on weekdays.

My timing:

I am very disorganized and get distracted getting my work done easily. If I am doing something I don't like I will explore my thoughts and find something in the environment more interesting. I will usually take breaks because I can't concentrate on my work, and then let myself cool off for a minute, but ends up like 2 hours. So then I work on it right before bed and lose sleep once again.

I am constantly tired and stressed about life but everyone tells me to "try harder" or "stop forgetting" or "pay attention" and I try so hard but it's not enough and they don't know the struggles of it so.

That is how it impairs me and not school marks wise because i get it done, but it takes a lot longer and I am always tired.

What should I do? I told my pdoc, but as stated, it doesn't negatively impact it the way she thinks or believes it impacts everyone with AD/HD. I'm not failing and do good in school.

This is also to vent and probably show to my pdoc later. Thanks.
