Guys i'm just wondering, ask me really anything about in comments. And if you know anything that might help just comment, I real

Well you said recently. Its possible that if you're doing zoom school, the extra screen exposure is messing with your brain. I dont have ADHD, but I am fidgety. Just needing to move around isnt necessarily ADHD, it could be from a lack of exercise or doing things. Then again, I might be totally wrong.

No, it's been going on for years, and I don't do zoom. It just has been worsening thru the years

Ok, what do you mean by worsening? What do you do thats gotten worse?
It might be a nervous tic, or something like that

Like spacing off not being able to pay attention

Thats very typical. Could be you're bored of what you're doing, or you are focusing on something else. Again, this isn't scientific or anything just opinion

Yeah, but it can even be something that's not school, and it just happens a lot

Different circumstances. For example. When I watch a movie, I prefer to be doing something at the same time. Ill be playing a game on my iPad, watching a movie on my computer, and talking on the phone/texting at once.

It used to be like a few times a week thing not it happens like all the time

And I do basketball twice a week and swim usually 3, sometimes more

Ooh lol i wish i could do that...

no, u don't its hard

Lol but i like 2 b off the couch & doing stuff XD
I don’t practice basketball nearly enough 2 b any good @ it tho

You're so lucky... Seriously...

Yeah, but I'm always sore lol

You do it enough, you get stronger and less sore. I did exercises in the summer and at first it was super hard. Then it got easier. Then I stopped.... I need to pick it up again...

Yeah, the first few weeks are the worst

Idk what ADHD is, but I’ve heard attention & fidgeting problems can be related to stress. I personally have both problems, & ik they’re related 2 stress. Maybe it’s that 4 u. But I could be wrong.

I don't have adhd but i have add which is just adhd without the hyperactive part and it's not that bad it's just hard for me to focus on 1 task and not get sidetracked

wow, sounds like me. Except I do have the hyperactive part

There has been a lot of misdiagnoses of ADD and ADHD. I doubt you actually have ADD or ADHD. For ADD and ADHD it would happen all the time nonstop.
I have a male friend who has ADHD and the symptoms that you described are the tip of the iceberg

Yeah, that's why I was asking

ADHD and ADD sux

Yeah.

i have ADD, ADHD, severe anxiety, severe depression, asthma, and a f**ked up knee

sounds like fun, but I think you can only have ADHD or ADD not both

O? then ADD definetly

i'm not sure tho

It might be ADD, that's what I have and the symptoms are similar. I don't learn well from out-loud reading or info, and I use putty to keep my fidgeting under control.

possibly, this is why im asking lol

just sayin, maybe thats what it is... maybe ask your parents if there is a record of adhd in your family

idk, im too nervous to ask

me in a nutshell

Lol yas

Clarification: so by lately I mean it's been worse

do you have an idea for something interesting and you start doing it but then give up to do something else you already know you like doin?

oh yeah, a lot.

then you probably have it

Most adolescences and teens find it hard to focus at times. ADHD is a scam.

No, like it's been happening for years

Congratulations! You're a normal kid. I was put on ritalin as a teen. Because I answered 5 out of 8 questions a certain way. Having energy isn't a bad thing. Some people are calmer but you are you. And that's a good thing. School is often boring. I can't blame you for spacing out at times.

Okay, buts it's not only school

Just wait til you get older and lose that energy. Which will be both good and bad.

ummm k?

yeah don't listen to doctors they don't know better

oh yeah they don't know anything *eye roll*

How do they confirm someone has ADHD? Go on, tell me.

so here's this what part of the brain can give you ADHD: ADHD is associated with abnormally low levels of the neurotransmitters transmitting between the prefrontal cortical area and the basal ganglia i.e., dopamine and noradrenaline. Dopamine is closely associated with reward centers in the brain and also interacts with other potent neurotransmitters to regulate mood. I found this from a website. And ADHD has many symptoms including: Behavioral: aggression, excitability, fidgeting, hyperactivity, impulsivity, irritability, lack of restraint, or persistent repetition of words or actions
Cognitive: absent-mindedness, difficulty focusing, forgetfulness, problem paying attention, or short attention span
Mood: anger, anxiety, boredom, excitement, or mood swings
Also common: depression or learning disability
So yeah, that's how they confirm ADHD.

Gee, they never went there with me! Yet I... had it?

Yeah, ADHD is something that gets overlooked, my parents have probably never even considered it. But it affects people differently and I probably have a less severe type.
