I’m supposed to get a corona vaccine at school later and the paper had a checklist and one thing it asked about was ADHD or concentration problems. Now I don’t have ADHD but I do have concentration problems so I ticked that and my mom just said “oh yeah you might have ADHD.” And I was like… what? Last time I checked I didn’t have the symptoms. So then she goes on about how after a bunch if research she found that I might have ADHD and I still don’t believe her so any experts please tell me the truth.
lol
Super hot ADHD do- er here
Honestly
I couldn't fuckin tell ya
Concentration issues aren't the only part of adhd, its honestly only a small fraction of it
You could be suffering from intrusive thoughts (not omg i should drink 3 monster energy drinks uwu, but like actual disturbing stuff), umm you could have uh- a really low self esteem, another one is super mega focus on certain interests, occasionally to the point of forgetting to eat, drink, sleep or do anything else really (it can be mild though, like one example with me is for like a few months i ONLY listened to Hamilton), uhhh a lack of hygiene is another, stuff like a really messy room, not showering for days- weeks even, not brushing ur teeth ect ect, umm theres stuff like tics.. you probs know what those are, there's stimming (both happy and bad) these can be physical or vocal stims, (more of my own examples are hopping up and down, smacking myself on the head and um incoherent whispering to myself), you could have trouble regulating your moods (i.e: anger issues), uhh um
These aren't always a 100% indication to adhd and symptoms can vary, I'd recommend doing a lot of reserch on your own and going in for an evaluation before self diagnosing 🙂
i only said that because a lot of the time, from my own personal experience that intrusive thoughts get watered down to being just thoughts, stupid ideas when they are so. Much. Worse.
And i felt it was necessary to say just to kinda set the two apart, in case someone goes "omg i have intrusive thoughts because one time i saw a wasp and thought what if i squish it instead of running away"
