I’m starting to wonder if I might have ADHD — I’m bad at spotting things or filtering information, and I have hyper-focus days and slow-brain days
For those of you with ADHD, what does it look like in your day-to-day life?
I’m trying to work out if it’s worth getting assessed, so any experiences would be really appreciated 🙂
Some struggles I notice:
Noticing/finding things: I can’t spot things right in front of me, and reading a departure board can take ages
Orientation & memory: I forget neighbours faces, directions, and where I parked
Fluctuating functioning: Some days I’m hyper-focused with racing thoughts; other days everything feels foggy and my speech suffers
Attention: I zone out in conversations or tasks and freeze if someone talks to me while I’m on the phone
Executive function / organisation: Starting tasks is hard, then I hyperfocus and do everything at once. Big admin jobs overwhelm me, and my space gets messy quickly. I lose stuff if I tidy up
Other odd ones: New systems, tech, and machines confuse me, and I get disoriented easily.
Not sure if this is ADHD or just me being me 😅
Does this sound familiar to anyone with ADHD?
