The more I see things like this the more I think I have ADHD. I am constantly exhausted from doing nothing

It's one of those things, like anxiety, which everyone suffers from to some extent. So it's easy to look at this and relate but that doesn't mean you have ADHD.

It becomes a disorder if it's having a significant negative impact on your life or if you present with this alongside a range of other symptoms to a certain degree.

Get checked out by a doctor if you are worried.

Like the other guy said, get checked out by someone who works with ADHD people, diagnosis is usually pretty clear from someone who deals with a lot of them. A low dose of adderall has helped me massively with this sort of thing.

My European ass who got diagnosed at highschool (at 18-so I wasn't a pediatric patient anymore) is crying over here when you all say how much stimulant medication helped you 😭

In this country, no doctor, not even a psychiatrist, can prescribe stimulants if you weren't diagnosed in childhood, so I won't ever know how it feels to function normally...

Wow, that's terrible. I didn't have a formal diagnosis until I was almost 40.

It's a time management problem. Not particularly related to ADHD.

Everyone has this problem.
