#9 My brain does not feel quite right. in Off Topic

I have been feeling the exact same way since I got to university a few years ago. I haven't gone to see anybody about it for the same reason you said, I'm afraid people will just accuse me of being lazy. It definitely makes school much harder for me than it should be, it is nearly impossible for me to keep focused on one thing for more than an hour before I get bored and just stop doing it. The reason why I think video games are a common theme, is because they are very stimulating, no two situations are ever the same, and they keep me thinking all the time and this stops me from getting bored for a bit longer, still not longer than two hours usually. I've tried doing so many things to feel different, but they just don't work, all the issues that Comanglia mentioned are not what is going on with me, I can't speak for you but from what you described it sounds almost identical to what I feel. That leads me to conclude that it must be something mental.

iridescentFUZZkittyndiy orchiectomy
What in the actual fuck? I'm guessing most people just browsed past your comment not realising what an orchiectomy is. And you had a DIY operation? WHAT.

I feel terrible for you.

Oh fuck I just realized what this was... You've gotta have some serious balls to remove your own balls.

I had my eyelid stitched together after it got cut in an unfortunate window sill incident. I don't know what it is with my eyes but I've had to get stuff fixed around them like 4 times, mostly when I get hit in the face with sharp objects. Next im probably going to have to get a tooth implant because I just don't have a tooth. and apparently they don't put you under completely, gonna be fun being awake and hearing them drilling into my jaw.

#42 tf2c bans guy for a year for mentioning tf2stadium in TF2 General Discussion

Every single community has problems like this. UGC and ESEA admins are no better than the tf2center ones. You can get banned for 3 months from UGC when they catch you hacking (or you can just be bo4r and probably pay the admins like $3 and not get banned) but when you get caught having two accounts one of which never plays you get 6 months???

DAS44If you have a concern about a medication, your well-being, any of that; see a doctor, not a gaming forum.

Speaking of... I am in no way a medical professional, I can only speak from my experience. I was suggested and prescribed concerta for what is now referred to as ADHD, I rather quickly decided to drop it (for personal reasons, not those of effect).

My issues resurfaced for several years until (around the entrance to higher education) I realized that if I wanted to function I had to consciously mold my behaviors in a way that was conducive to... getting shit done. It took some consideration (and on a few occasions being cussed out) but logical steps led to a system that works for me (and has become second nature). Understanding where your problems reside is key, but you have to follow that up by addressing them (accepting them doesn't get help anything).

Finding a solution could be as straightforward as going to a doctor, and deciding to begin with a medication prescribed, something more akin to my methods, who knows... hell you're not me. It varies from person to person, but I've never known anybody to really benefit from the "cures" that advertise themselves without educated, medical support.

Not trying to shoot anyone down, just an urging of some caution.

I understand that a doctor is the best place to go. Before I did that I want to consult with some people that could be in a similar situation to me. I didn't really really notice any of this until now either, throughout highschool I barely studied, same with first year engineering, but this year it just wont cut it.

#45 Smart Drugs in Off Topic

One of the reasons why I thought that it wouldn't be worth going to see a doctor about it is because I could focus on video games for such a long amount of time. I think this is because every situation is different and im always thinking about something different. The other stuff you described is really making me think I should go see a doctor asap. After about 20 minutes of studying I just start to space out and think about completely irrelevant shit, I end up staring out my window for minutes at a time even though I should be focused on studying. I have never really noticed spacing out during conversations unless there is something to distract me though. Also, thanks a lot for this, comparing what you felt to what I feel might be just what I need to go to the doctor

While self diagnosis usually means little to nothing, I'd recommend looking at the DSM-V requirements for ADHD if you're genuinely curious.
Yeah i've looked at it before and I'm by no means self-diagnosing myself. If I do have anything it would be very mild, I can do most things completely normally, just concentrating on school is really tough. If spending a few hundred dollars a year means I can not waste the $40 000 my parents have already payed for my 2 years of uni, I think that it would be completely worth it. That is why I've been asking for peoples opinions

If you are serious and think you legitimately have ADHD, then go to a doctor and get a diagnosis. It's worth the money, but only if you legitimately believe that you have an issue, everyone has trouble concentrating at some points. I dropped out of college after a couple months when I first went, because I could never really focus on anything and I also had no study skills or time management skills. I got diagnosed with ADHD a couple months later when I was 19, and got an adderall prescription. It's a godsend, as it allows me to actually focus on things, but it's only one part of how to help yourself. There are a bunch of things that can help that are just as critical, like proper nutrition and exercise. It also doesn't choose what to focus for you, if you still are going to dick around and focus on playing video games all day then you're just going to focus on that.

That being said, best of luck. A doctor helps not only with getting a script legally, but also with advice on how to take it without fucking yourself up too much, and other things for managing whatever your needs are. Honestly imo, if you don't have healthy habits right now, I would try to fix those before going to a doctor and potentially wasting the money.

Before you got diagnosed with ADHD what did you experience when trying to study? before I go see a doctor I wanna be pretty confident that I actually have an issue.
