I find it very hard indeed! I am not sure whether or not I have ADHD but I was never really able to sit down and study.

It one of the major reasons I am 28 now and without a degree. It could be because I am not used to study but I do find it hard. I loose interest easily and get distracted.

Having said that, I have no problem studying my pint on a saturday nite and studying the lovely ladies too!

I think some people need to train themselves into studying and reading. I am quite a lazy and unmotivated person at times but thats more down to depression than anything else.

I do get so easily distracted. It does't help that I have this computer, a tv, and game consoles in my bedroom. So you can imagine studying and reading dont last very long.

A friend of mine has ADHD, she only told me last year, she's 17 and has had t since birth, she I think has it diffeent to oyu. Yeh she finds it impossible to sit down and study, but she's also very, "must be the centre of attention". She's 17, and is repeating 5th year, she has settled down a fair bit since last year and I'm not sure but for the past year she has been in a very settled strong relationship and I think that has something to do with it...

Actually, I was always quite hyper-active and my mates tell me I am very fidgety! I always messing with things around me. Picking up stuff etc. I am not sure what that all means but it does prohibit me from relaxing and concentrating on something like studying and reading!

Jaysus, maybe I have ADHD too!

Although, I believe if I really try hard enough I can do the study thing! I am just terribly unmotivated. I have the whole "I can't be arsed" attitude going on which I really hate but I can't help it!

I am not really helping you in any way here am I! Going on about myself. :rolleyes:

One of the kids in the camp I worked in in Spain last summer had ADD or ADHD. He was crazy. He couldn't sit still for a second, he was always causing trouble and fidgeting, he'd never listen to anyone. That being said, he was really really nice. If you could get him to concentrate, he'd do a good job.

The thing is wiyh me i find it hard at times to keep to one thing at a time i get very fidigety

I don't have ADHD, but I do have trouble concentrating on study. The most important thing for me is to start studying for things way in advance so that the amount of study I do over all will add up to equal those few days of cramming everyone else can do.

I have ADHD and i take that it really helps me concentreat better

Any chance i can score a few off ya there!!!Just try and get rid of distractions and find the best way to study. Different people find different ways of studying better for them. Like just sitting and reading notes to yourself, reading aloud, re-writing the notes out or doing exercises that make you use the notes.

Also, I think eliminating possible distractions from your bedroom. If thats where you study!

Do what i do make your self do it it aint easy but try:)

I'm pretty sure I have ADHD. Never been tested but I have all the symptoms.
Find it really hard to concentrate, daydream 95% of the time. Never listened to a whole lecture. Even films I can't sit through, I have to get up and walk around every 20 minutes for something to do. I have 10 things going on in my head at once. I am a pretty good student though which is strange. I have to go to the library where I have no distractions and force myself to concentrate.

I'm sure you were joking, but just for the record it would have the opposite effect on anyone without the condition. It's a mild amphetamine.

I think that would explain the (joking) request!

This talk about ADHD has just struck a chord with me about a girl I've recently met.....hmmmmm.....would certainly explain a bit about her skittish behaviour.

I didn't think so in the context tbh. The bit I quoted was clipped.

how would you get diagnosed?

Speak to your doctor initially, and if he/she suspects the condition based on your complaints you will be referred to a specialist for testing.
