Is it just me, what is wrong with me?
Is there something wrong with me?
I cant stay still for long (about 10-15 mins) before I have to change position and ill start movin my feet around or somethin. Especially in school when im in my lessons. Ill be sat there and ill just start moving my legs and feet and ill be messing with my hands or somethin, I get really uncomfortable. I also find it really hard to concentrate. I try telling myself that Ill concentrate this lesson, we get ten minutes in and im daydreaming. I tune out and when I come back to earth i wont've heard a word the teacher said. I also get bored really easily and this is also a slight problem in my relationship. I feel really selfish because I wont be able to keep makin out or anything because Ill get bored if its not got my excited or got me really into it. If I am at home and told to do somethin Ill try to put it off, Im a very disorganized person and Im hopeless for planning in advance. I also get naffed off about things easily but I can keep that in my head and ill get upset over tiny little things or whatever. If im not doin somethin I like ill just get bored and not want to do it or ill get distracted and do something else which will lead me to getting told off. I really do try to concentrate on things but it just feels boring unless im doing something I like to do. I know I probably just sound like any average teen but I look around and everyone else is managing to keep up. Ill end up tryin to talk to a friend when they are busy or working which will again get me told off. Im also really loud and I don't even notice, ive been told that im being to loud when im talkin when i get really into it and i dont even notice how loud im being, ill also end up annoying people without me realising. Ive also been told im childish and to grow-up but i cant, i really cant help it.
Sorry this question was so long. But I just want to know what might be wrong with me..
Thanks,
F/15

Either ADD or ADHD.
Though sounds more like ADHD with the moving all the time part.
I have ADD.
Alot of people do, there isnt anything wrong with having it.
You can talk to a doctor about it, or do what I did and learn to live with it, either way you're a normal 15 year old.

It sounds like you have ADD/ADHD. iT'S where you have a hard time concentrating, get bored with one thing and move to the next. My husband has ADHD and at times he annoys the living crap out of me. He can read a book and when he's done with it, he doesn't remember ANYTHING he just read! You should go see a doctor is my advice. They can put you on medicine that will help with ALL of that. Alot of kids have this so it does not mean your crazy or abnormal. My husband couldnt stay in one place for long when we were dating. He'd come over and stay 15 minutes, next thing i know he's leaving. I thought he didnt like me, but it was because he couldn't sit still AND he got bored. I really think this is what you have, go see a doctor sweetie. Good luck! -Christy

You're just an intense dude and because you're an adolescent you are also very insecure and rather present oriented. I'm actually kind of like you in that I get bored easily, can be rather fidgety and I start climbing the walls unless I have near constant intellectual stimulation. I am in my 50's.
So none of the stuff you are pointing out about yourself is particularly rare. The main thing you need to do is just realize that the crap that happens in high school ain't gonna mean much in the grand scheme of things, so no need to get dragged into any drama. Relax, don't overthink yourself into an emotional pretzel and don't get overwhelmed by a teenager's native insecurity. No matter how cool you may think others look they also have their doubts. In fact, it is fairly common for high achievers to often feel like frauds even when they are kicking ass at what they do because they know that they have limitations like everyone else.

I'm one of the older advisers on this site and hopefully I can be of some help.
First a question. Are your parents aware of all of this? If not you need to tell them.
None of us are doctors and even if we were we could not offer a diagnoses.
From what you have written it sounds like you need to be evaluated for ADHD; Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The following link will tell you more about the symptoms of ADHD.

There is a lot of information on the web as to the causes, effects and treatment of ADHD. You and your parents should do some research and be informed about ADHD and the treatments available before your visit with the doctor.
There are several very good medications available for use in treating ADHD. Which one is going to be right for your needs should be discussed with your doctor. You may even have to try one or more different medications to find the one that works best for you. The key is for you to be open and honest with the doctor as to how the medication is working and any side effects it may be causing.
As to being diagnosed as having ADHD is not the taboo subject it once was. Depending on which study or who you talk to the causes differ somewhat. More people suffer in different degrees from ADHD than was recognized not to long ago. When I was your age, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, doctors said we had ants in are pants, we were day dreamers or just lazy and left it at that. People with this disorder are far luckier today as this is a treatable disorder.

I'm the same in every way.What I did is I started cheerleading,so my loud voice would be good for something.Also I started taking notes in class so I would have to focus on what the teacher is saying.There probaly isn't anything wrong with you,you might just have an active mind.But if it continues to get worse you might have ADD.
