well fuck. This and a meme i saw about people with adhd making lists of things to look up later and keeping 100 tabs open is making me think I might need to see the Dr, make sure.

There are some common signs. Do you cut people off when talking for fear of losing your train of thought? Do you have no problem starting projects, but have trouble finishing them? Do you have a problem with delayed satisfaction? Do you get bored easily when trying to study or do deep work you don't find very interesting?

People with ADHD are usually driven more by their interests than other external factors.

yes to all. I try really hard not to cut people off though as I was taught it was rude, so I end up losing my train of thought a lot lmao.
