  • Trouble with paying attention...causing me to stress out?

    Okay so basically I am well aware that I am terrible at staying focused on any one task, but I am unable to do anything about it. I have ADHD but have never been medicated for it. I am terrible at getting my homework done for school and I was working on this project I have to hand in right before I decided to ask this question. This project was supposed to be handed in last week, and today my teacher e-mailed my mom (never had this happen before in highschool) so now my mom is really pissed because I will have to hand in my final project late. I tried to do the project numerous times but would just forget about it shortly after starting, and this same scenario has happened before. My mom is disappointed with me, now I feel bad, and I just want to know if medication for ADHD would keep me focused or capable of doing homework/projects. I hate that I get distracted so easily but I can never do anything about it. It's not even that I get distracted by electronics, I have set out to do school work, and ended up just laying down thinking about random things. :S
