Most people with adhd their minds run in a million different directions mine doesn't but I still can't focus on important stuff that would be helpful for my future only stuff that that gives me intermediate rewards ie not schoolwork or work in general

I also have a very hard time controlling my emotions. I will give you a example: this labor day my parents through a party over the weekend and my cousins pushed me in the pool for no reason nothing big just a small thing that normal people would not get made over but me I lost. I'll also sometimes get frustrated over simple and hard math problems or school work in general.

I tend not to think before acting but sometimes I do think when it comes to scary stuff but
normally I say before I think

I talk a way too much and annoy everyone around me. I also interrupt people a lot

I've bought stuff that I really didn't need before

My room is very messy it looks like a tornado just rolled through it and put everything on the ground which would be procrastination which I do way too much

I am very impatience and will switch tasks every few mins it if I do not enjoy it

I am not bounce off the walls hyper well that one I really don't know because I have been told to sit and shut up many times.

I will lose track of time if its from tv watching to playing on the internet today I wanted to surf the web for a hour look at the clock its been 2 and a half and I'm like wtf it could not have been 2 hours and half

Sometimes I talk with my hands and sometimes I talk fast

I can barely read I get 5 pages in and forget what I read on the last 4

I am very very anti social

and I talk to myself when I am home alone?

Can anyone help me?
I agree with Nike. Also, childhood hyperactivity can go the opposite direction as you grow older, and turn into fatigue instead. Yes, mental fatigue can be a symptom of ADHD! I bolded the ones that sound most like ADHD as far as I understand. Maybe you can sort those and others into categories.

Have you tried any treatment suggested by your doctor/psych yet (lifestyle/coaching/counselling/medication)? If not, then maybe give it a shot and see if it helps with your struggles. You might be surprised. In any case if you do have ADHD, please don't miss a chance to catch it when you're younger. It gets harder and harder to adjust to as you get older, without setting up a plan to deal with it. I hid it well as a kid it seems, but over time it's done some serious damage to my career and indirectly affected my social life as well.
Thanks for this!
