confused2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]I have trouble concentrating/focusing on everything and anything. This has been a problem as long as I can remember. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]When it comes to reading, I can't concentrate on more than 1 page. I go to the library for hours a day to study, but I just end up sitting there reading the same paragraph over and over. I'll start to read and then start wondering what I'm going to eat later, what I'm going to do when I get back to my house, how loud the people next to me are being...basically anything BUT the work. This is a real problem because I can't keep up with the reading for class since it's been so difficult for me. I also have a lack of focus when people talk to me. I don't really listen to them, I sort of just look at them while thinking all sorts of thinking and hear them in the background. Then I think how bad it is that I wasn't listening and I try to focus, but then I lose focus and start thinking about other things AGAIN! All of this aside, I setup time for studying for a few hours a day and it's not like I'm addicted to doing anything, I just can't get studying done when I try to. This also has always been a problem for me when I try to sleep. I've never been able to simply "go to sleep" in my life. I always stayed up till the middle of the night and felt that I had other things to do, and if I tried to go to bed my mind would bounce all over. The only way I can sleep is if I literally pass out, or I am just too tired to stay up anymore. Naps are impossible because unless I have absolutely no power to anymore, I am just going to lie there and never fall asleep.

Touche Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Do you have a lot of sugar in your diet or caffeine? Might want to cut back on that if you do. Some people might say it's adult ADD. (I'm not saying that but others might.) Link to post Share on other sites

Some people might say it's adult ADD. (I'm not saying that but others might.) Usually 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning, 1-2 cokes in the afternoon, and depending on whether or not I have to study I'll drink more caffeine/sugar at night. Link to post Share on other sites
