Do you think I’ll get diagnosed with adhd ?I’m 20, I don’t really strike anyone at first glance/? (Already got referred to psychologist?

But scafed he say no ) of having it but knowing me after a good week
You’ll start to see a lot of things that relate to adhd gyperness and or inattentive ness
Whether it be me never completing a task, as basic as it is or me being unable to pay attention to my own words while I speak, I’ll forget what I’m saying half way through
I lose too many things, I’ve lost my glasses multiple tones
My phone everyday like clock work
Right before I leave the house to get to work
Forget to load directions to work
I’m messy af
I can only present myself well enough to get a job for a limited of time then slowly but surely I can’t hold myself together
I start to take longer than normal to finish something
My McDonald’s job was mess
I didn’t finish taking orders or I would take an order than make a cofffe but wouldmiss to take an order
I couldn’t multi task in drive through, when everybody else could take an order and count change
I can barely count change by myself staring at it
I’m sometimes slower than slow or smarter than smart
I try so hard but I always come off as inadequate
So many more examples I could give
My biggest issue isn’t school or home life
It’s now work life cuz me not being able to function like a productive normal 20 year old is getting in the way of work and I can’t keep quitting when I realize I can’t do a job or wait until my shifts get cut because I suck,only ever get stay 4monthsISH, cuz I’m Lowkey chills/personable but that doesn’t always fly/last.

When I say that it would be a good idea for you to see a psychologist, I'm not saying that you necessarily need a course of therapy, Maybe it would be good to talk with one to discuss your problems and get ideas for how to deal with them. You can get a referral from your family doctor.

We're in no position to diagnose, but I'll give you an answer with ADHD advice that people have said is helpful. It's for students doing homework. I know you're not a student but there are ideas that might carry over to your present situation. Give them some thought.

The last time I answered one of your questions, I suggested learning stress management methods and learning about self-efficacy.

About stress management, what comes to mind when I read your recent question is mindfulness, which is good not only for our nerves but for avoiding mistakes and accidents. It's one of the things recommended for ADHD,

Mindfulness is sometimes defined as intentional awareness of the present moments. You might say that carefulness is a form of mindfulness. It's not going through life on autopilot. This is accident prevention and it's also therapeutic, because it's relaxing and it helps you to appreciate all the nice things in daily life that you'd otherwise overlook. For example, you can slow down and really appreciate a cup of tea or lunch instead of gulping things down, unconscious of what you're doing.

Here's a mindfulness answer rated Best, 5 Stars.

Another thing that's really good for stress is breath awareness/ controlled breathing. which is related to mindfulness.
