I think I have ADD

[crushed_47]

I think i have ADD.. i'm like positive.. but my parents don't believe me.. because like I get good grades.. is it possible to have ADD and still get good grades? they also don't believe me cus like my brother has it and i'm not like him.

But i really think i have it. In class.. i don't concentrate.. i cannot for the life of me. The thing is i just take the notes that the teacher writes on the board. I daydream constantly. I even read that a symptom was a messy room. No matter how hard i try to keep mine clean.. i can't. And also.. i can't focus. Ill seriously be in the middle of something and just stop what im doing, get up, and walk away. Even when i'm on the computer talking to people on AIM, ill just like get up and walk away and come back and hour later and the people that i was talking to were like "HELLO?? YOU THERE??" i really think i have it. its not that i want to have it or anything.. i just want to get help if i do you know?

do you think i have it?

[*-tick tock-*]

hmmm its possible.. check with a doctor first. but be careful.. most docs will tell u that u have something u think you have when you dont

[Krazydun]

sounds like me.. I can't sleep because I can't get my mind to shut off. I have a horrible time paying attention.. and I am also smart and get good grades.. and I'm 18! I've always been a wiggle worm and emotion rollar coaster sometimes.

[xdeviancex]

Same with me too... At home im quiet but its because im lonely . im hyper i can talk real loud. i can get annoying...not many people like me and it sucks
but i have good grades now and i cant get to sleep because i can stop thinking like what if what if i stare at my wall i used to try warm milk hot tea i cant stop thinking and i eventually get bored of thinking so i turn on my t.v. THERE IS NOT ONE DOUBT I AM NOT A INSOMNIAC

You probably don't you're probably just not stimulated mentally, I couldn't concentrate at all at regular schools, so I went into homeschooling, but we have classes a couple times a week. If you have trouble getting work done or something like that, you should consider some sort of alternative schooling, and who doesn't have a messy room?
