could it be ADHD

[stressed8]

I have just got an appointment for my daughter to be assessed for asbergers.To be honest the more I look into these things the more Im convinced I have ADHD.I find it very hard to follow even simple instructions,at school I loved history but it felf like only so much information would go in.Id try so hard to listen that my head would hurt,it's the same now.I rarley sit still,am terrible for forgetting things.People call me scatty but that hurts because I do try really hard to be on top.Even my job cleaning,I have to go over and over in my head my routine or Im all over the place and even then I leave dusters lying around or forget to put the hoover away.I was bullied at school because everyone thought I was stupid which I feel has effected me.Also my sleep is terrible and sometimes my mind just races.If I was to be diagnosed with ADHD would medication help? does this sound like ADHD? Ive never felf 'normal' but thought everyone felt that way!

Hi.......It does sound like you are ADHD, and many aren't diagnosed until they are adults.  This makes reading a book impossible because your mind is all over the place, watching a TV program is often done while doing something else, your mind is always going which leads to forgetfulness, etc.  Medication would definitely help you and you should seek help so you can relax for a change.  As for the bullying, I know it was difficult to endure but you need to let that go so that you are no longer their victim!  Bullies are insecure and they pick on others to make themselves feel better...you're better than this and them!  Seek help and let us know how you're doing...we're always here for you!
