@sarahsweets several years ago I saw a psychiatrist who put me on a low dose of adderall, but said based on a questionnaire it probably wasn't ADHD. He did think I had attention problems, but wasn't sure why. I do relate to several of the symptoms of ADHD, except am not super impulsive. I can also hyperfocus for very long periods of time if I get in the zone, that's kind of the only way I can work. Other times if I can't get focused I am alll over the place and so frustrated. I will say the adderall helped me, but made me more irritable so I stopped taking it after maybe 6 months. In a weird way I was happier and less anxious because I felt I could focus, but was also too keyed up. I do have anxiety issues so maybe my attention problems are just related to that. I will say in middle school I had a hard time with all the organization and focusing in class to the point that I failed classes. I have since learned how to compensate and I do well in classes/work, but it's a struggle sometimes. Because I mostly cannot focus I learned to just teach myself outside of class for the most part.
