Ma3gool?

It is seriously worrying me now...I'm almost freaking out.

Quote from Wikipedia.

The symptoms of ADHD fall into the following two broad categories:

Inattention:

  1. Failure to pay close attention to details or making careless mistakes when doing schoolwork or other activities
  2. Trouble keeping attention focused during play or tasks
  3. Appearing not to listen when spoken to
  4. Failure to follow instructions or finish tasks
  5. Avoiding tasks that require a high amount of mental effort and organization, such as school projects
  6. Frequently losing items required to facilitate tasks or activities, such as school supplies
  7. Excessive distractibility
  8. Forgetfulness
  9. Procrastination, inability to begin an activity
  10. Difficulties with household activities (cleaning, paying bills, etc.)
  11. Difficulty falling asleep, may be due to too many thoughts at night
  12. Frequent emotional outbursts
  13. Easily frustrated
  14. Easily distracted

Hyperactivity-impulsive behaviour

  1. Fidgeting with hands or feet or squirming in seat
  2. Leaving seat often, even when inappropriate
  3. Running or climbing at inappropriate times
  4. Difficulty in quiet play
  5. Frequently feeling restless
  6. Excessive speech
  7. Answering a question before the speaker has finished
  8. Failure to await one's turn
  9. Interrupting the activities of others at inappropriate times
  10. Impulsive spending, leading to financial difficulties

Don't worry, Omar, there are some brilliant ADD/ADHD folks out there! I'm sure I'm it too, passed it on to my boys even.

Part of it is just being a big boy. when you are 25 or 30, some of the symptoms reduce or are disciplined into submission. Just don't lose your spark!

You're being dramatic Omar, you are simply stressed and have a lot of things stuck in the back of your mind that need sorting out. WHen those are done you will be fine. But it seems you're running away from them.

I'm a minor in Psychology you know :P If you need help tell me

listen to Kenan. plus mal-nutrition and too much sugar contributes to poor focus and mental distraction.

you can't turn add/adhd on and off.. and you can focus when you need to.
