I have been getting distracted so easily lately.

I have been getting distracted so easily lately. More than a lot! I've been sitting here with my homework for a few hours now and it's not even that hard! I just can't keep my mind on it. I've been spacing out a lot and a few of my friends are worried...

about me. is there something wrong with me? what could be wrong?

A.D.D?

I don't think so. I've never been diagnosed. I barely even know the deffinition of A.D.D.

hey yoake it could very well be a.d.d. I have it I was diagnosed with it three years ago. I also have ocd obsessive compulsive disorder. Have you ever watched the show monk you've seen me. To get a a.d.d test done is simple and painless the doctor will ask you abut 6-10 questions. A.D.D. is a attention deficit disorder. what that means is a person with that there attention span is usually not that long they get easily distracted and sometimes simple things are complex for the individual. Then on other side of the coin the problem could just be that you like being with your friends on here. nothing wrong with that. sometimes a break from the books is needed. hope this helps ya.

Oooo. I have ocd too! I used to have it really bad, but it's a lot better now.

I will tell you how bad I ocd. my cans in my cabinets are faced labels, my freezer and refrigerator same thing and when I go to stores I find myself straightening the shelves pulling product forward.

Wow!!! I've only done that a few times, and it didn't even last very long. I used to count every single one of my steps, and I could never step on a crack, if I did I'd have to step on the same crack with the opposite foot in the same place (like the tip of my foot or end) but I quit that. now I just touch everything in the stores or I just colour coordinate everything, it's calmed down more and more over the years.

all my clothes are color coordinated, I go to car lots just to see how dirty their new cars are as well. Thats about as extreme as I have gotten from my point of view on me. at least I hope so

neh, mine isn't that bad. it must really be annoying. I EXTREMELY HATED the counting thing. my walking was all messed up. I just wanted to sit down all day and not worry about it. well, I did that and I don't do it anymore. I hope I never start again, but it's been gone for about three years now so I think I'm good.

rite on

Do your homework with a friend, you could even do it online with some random person like on stickam or any other chat site. Try it out. Make an event out of it.
