I have no idea if I do in fact have ADHD I always thought it was normal to daze off once in a while but I see it increasing... It almost becomes annoying cause I can't read more than a page in a book without thinking about something else I have to read like 3 or 4 pages about 3 times. And I also notice when I do certain small tedious tasks like if I am shuffling through a big stack of papers looking for one certain thing I get REALLY mad this also happens I noticed when I try to roll pennies or other coins i just can't! Idk if this is adhd or something else please help!
