Do I have ADD or am I just lazy? ? ? i really do try to do my work at school,but once i try reading the question or the first paragraph of what im supposed to be reading, i lose focus in it...i have to read it really slowly like 5 to ten times to really get it sometimes, especially if it s something im unintersested in it(i mean even if you arent interseted in it, you d at least read it and try to answer it you know?), i can barely get to the point im trying to make lol...an in class i cant keep still in my chair,im always shaking my legs an moving around,(kinda like that restless feeling you have sometimes with your arms or legs when your trying to sleep)...an i know this is normal but i get distracted by little things an i gets me like so mad! like im tring to answer a question but the smallest scratch in the desk gets my attention or like the teachers talking an i really am trying to listen cuz my grade is low but my mind goes blank and wonders off in my head an i make up a conversation then i remember the teachers talking then i listen again...i know this is soooo long but,i dunno...i just need to know what wrong so i can get my grades up before school ends... (dont wanna be a repeat! Dx)...an if im just lazy, what can i do too help not be lazy...an it s not just at school, it s at home too,like i cant do one thing like clean something,i just do something else...an try to get back to it whenever i dont feel so stressed out about it...thx...
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. From the given description, I do not think you have Added. You are supposed to refer to concentration and attention as two. Attention span for any adult is maximum 30 minutes. Sometimes, a person can be attentive to an interesting thing for more than 30 minutes, such as movies or games. Concentration is attention plus understanding. For this too, span OS below 30 minutes. If you are able to make your studies interesting and based on variable principle, your concentration level can be increased. It is also possible to improve your concentration level with the help of yoga, meditation and breathing exercises. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.
