Lack of Focus

I am a person who lacks of concentration or focus most of the time even in work. Well I don’t how come I became like that. Then I remember before my boss even told me that it is like I am having ADHD. I know he was joking during that time but then it also alarms me that he might be telling the truth. I don’t have any idea but I just want to ask if what is the syndrome of having ADHD?

You might have ADHD. A lot of the symptoms have to do with being distracted easily, losing focus, can't sit for long periods of time, always needing to be doing something. You should talk with your doctor about it. He or she may be able to suggest somethings you can do so that your focus improves.

I think that could be the best way if I can consult to a doctor since I am still under healthcare that is dependent to my mother.

Yeah I would definitely go now while you are under healthcare. That is the best time to do it. Otherwise it could be very expensive if you don't have your own healthcare. I hope that everything goes well and the he or she helps you will whatever is causing you to lose your focus.

Same here I can't focus if I am so sleepy. Good thing my boss today is not like that even if I ask him a lot of times then he is patient enough to repeat it.

The boss maybe had a joke with you,but that is not a good signal from the boss,I think you should pay attention to your behaviour,when we work we should focuse on the work. I don't know the representation of the ADHD,perhaps you just don't have a good habit,you can make an plan to change youself,

It was actually an overtime work when he told me that. He just told me that at times I lack concentration so I am acting like having ADHD.

Hello Metatronik, He said "acting" but he didn't really say you have ADHD, so don't make any conclusions yet. maybe you need something that will motivate you instead of forcing yourself too much at work. sometimes we tend to get bored at work that we easily get distracted from doing the usual things. Have yourself Diagnosed first before anything else. maybe you need some sort of R n R before going back to the focus.

Sorry for my innocence but what do you mean by R n R? I even remember before when he also gave me just an expression when I am not listening to him much he just snapped that I am becoming autistic again. But he is not that mad. As for me I have no reactions and I am not offended when he told me that but then I remember when I was a kid my parents even told me that they thought I already have symptoms of autism. Because I wasn't able to talk right away and it took me years before I became so talkative.

I am also same and mostly while doing pooja or pray my concentration in other way not on pray. Think about other things like full day acitvity or shopping etc. I feel bad but not control myself. What is this ADHD.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is the meaning of ADHD. Sometimes when I am praying I just can't concentrate on it.

I also hate it if I can't focus to my task that I am doing. But I can't do nothing about it but to forced myself to focus on the things that I am doing.
