Well this is obvious since you can't sit still long enough to type right. I would say go see a doctor just to make sure and get some medication.

I think you should bring up the subject with you mom or dad.You should be like mom(whoeva) i think i have A.D.D . If they dont belive you say you are serious you would like to go to the doctor and be tested for various reasons.Dont make such a big deal unless your mom(dad)does not go throgh the trouble to help you.

Theres alot but its very helpful:

The ADD symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder come in many forms and no two people display the same symptoms of ADD or ADHD. The symptoms of ADD or ADHD manifest itself in undue passivity or inattentiveness, or uncontrollable, aggressive hyperactivity.

unable to sit still, plan ahead, finish tasks, or be fully aware of what's going on around them

Ok so i found this other thing...

SYMPTOMS OF INATTENTION
a. often ignores details; makes careless mistakes
b. often has trouble sustaining attention in work or play
c. often does not seem to listen when directly addressed
d. often does not follow through on instructions; fails to finish
e. often has difficulty organizing tasks and activities
f. often avoids activities that require a sustained mental effort
g. often loses things he needs
h. often gets distracted by extraneous noise
i. is often forgetful in daily activities


SYMPTOMS OF HYPERACTIVITY-IMPULSIVITY
Hyperactivity
a. often fidgets or squirms
b. often has to get up from seat
c. often runs or climbs when he shouldn't
(in adults, feelings of physical restlessness)
d. often has difficulty with quiet leisure activities
e. often "on the go", as if driven by a motor
f. often talks excessively
Impulsivity g. often blurts out answers before questions have been completed
h. often has difficulty waiting his turn
i. often interrupts or intrudes on others

I KNOW I KNOW its ALOT and time consuming...

-Acts before thinking.
-Poor planning ability.
-Difficulty waiting turn in group situations.
-Excessively shifts from one activity to another.
-Has difficulty shifting from one activity to another.
-Low pain threshold.


It sounds like you MAY have ADD. If you have had any of these symptoms for more than 6 months that I listed, then you need to see and talk to a doctor about this so you can get prescribed medicine that will help calm your symptoms.


I got this list of syptoms from [Link](Mouse over link to see full location). You can also go to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) and do a search about ADD.
