I always thought I was just a lazy procrastinator when I was a kid until i entered college and got diagnosed with ADHD at age 19 and everything made sense. All my life I have never been able to focus on an entire book and understand it's plot, or be able to sit still during a movie or even playing a game because my mind will wonder and I will lose track of what's going on. ADHD is like having 7 thoughts at the exact same time and you have no idea how to stay on task or think about or focus on one thing. I used to do 5 minutes of math hw, 5 minutes of English hw and 5 minutes of bio hw and alternate each time because it was impossible for me to sit down focus for any longer than that on one subject. I would have to constantly stand up and pace for 15 minutes during 20 minute intervals of studying just so I can try to get the extra thoughts and energy out of my head. ADHD is horrible and I feel inferior to my classmates for having it. It takes me 8 hours to do an assignment that takes everyone else 3 hours so I get less sleep. I used to have a buddy tie my legs to a chair until I finished a paragraph and I would starve myself and reward myself with food when I finished my work. You need severe self disapline with ADHD. I'm not lazy or unmotivated, I'm exhausted for having to try so much harder than everyone else just to keep up.
