This sounds like me to a T. If there is something I TRULY want to work on, I will be laser focused, but otherwise my brain is all over the place. No wonder I always have 8 instances of chrome open at a time with 40 tabs each. When I go back through them I just think to myself, how the fuck did I get from landscaping to the best southern bbq rib rub.
Maybe I should go see a doctor and get something for this. I always just feel like I'll be dismissed rather than have the doctor actually consider I may actually have ADHD.
I couldn't focus worth a shit in university unless it was a subject I cared about. I leave work until the last minute even though I know better than that by now (I'm 35 now). And I can't sit down and read a book because 10 pages in I realize I haven't been paying attention to the book because my mind is elsewhere but my eyes just kept on going.
I went to the doctor about 4 years ago and got some medication. I am 30 years old.
I really wish my mom would have taken some of my teachers advice when I was a young school boy. Probably could have been more successful in life by not being such an unfocused shit head in school.
Go to the doctor it wouldn't hurt to try something
Glad to hear you've turned things around. I always had good grades in school and never studied for anything. I went to University with plans to go to go into law, but that was a huge wakeup call and definitely did NOT go as planned. I wonder if I would have done better if I had some treatment earlier on.
I mean I'm 35 now, I have a great career and love what I do, but I still feel frustrated by how my brain works/doesn't.
Might be time to find myself a family doctor and see about getting some advice.
I was the opposite in school. Literally no fucks given. I was disruptive, restless, anything sounded better than being at school. But when I did actually pay attention I could do anything. I'm a quick learner. My parents were always like "You're going to really need to buckle down here kiddo" and I'm like I fucking can't!!
But yeah same here as far as work goes. Great career and I love it. I honestly don't know if I would have progressed as much as I did over the last few years with out that magic pill. It's just a matter of whether you abuse it or not.
Just tell your doc the situation and how you really have a hard time focusing on certain things and it's driving you nuts! That's how it was for me and it's much easier now! Hell even talking to people is easier!

My horse is amazing, performs like a fucking champion...only when he's interested in the task.
Otherwise my horse is a real ass.
