I've been doing terrible academically lately. The biggest reason is attendance. I'm a freshman in college. I've always had punctuality problems. Every time I plan to shower and leave, I do a lot of things between thinking it and actually doing so. I fix my bag, write, read, or something completely random - the other day I was attempting to fix a stapler I broke! I can't seem to stop. Before I know it - 3 to 5 hours have passed. I don't study. I procrastinate obsessively. I even miss meals. It's like I have no concept of time whatsoever. I always think, "I'm going to study hard from now on." "I'm going to be more organized." "I'm going to do this early." but I never do. My things are a mess but I actually like tidying up - the problem is I just never seem to do so. I'm either an extreme perfectionist about a task or I don't do it at all. I miss deadlines. I'm forgetful. I'm afraid I'm slow and/or stupid. Even though logically speaking I think I'm quite bright - or average at the very least but I often feel that I'm not. I was an honor student in grade school but even then I didn't spend a large amount of time studying. I've always thought maybe I'm just extremely lazy and thus, have tried and wanted to change - but for some reason I just really, really can't. I'm extremely talkative, I have a tendency to guess what a person's trying to say and interrupt before they finish talking, and I often get told that I'm just not trying hard enough. I'm worried because I don't know if I'm just being really lazy and just having the usual priority-issues. I've searched for ADHD symptoms because I couldn't stop thinking about my weird habits and how it's affecting my life. When I told my friends about my concerns though, a couple said I'm over reacting and even thought I was being silly. (Although 2 of my closest friends and aunt support me in this.)
I'm sorry it's lengthy but I can't stop thinking about it. I'm so confused. I can't concentrate at all this week. Am I showing signs of ADHD or is this typical teen behavior? (link)

Try self diagnoses.It could be a sleeping disorder like narcolepsy or sleep apnea and get checked thoroughly for parasites.If you were ever near a cat, you were exposed to toxoplasmosis. Source:www.nexusmagazine.com
