I think I might have ADHD. Please advice me
From experience an NHS diagnosis take MONTHS and for some isn’t worth the wait, that being said obviously a private diagnosis isn’t always an option for everyone since they’re hella pricey and not affordable for a lot of ppl (mine was £3k). I felt I had to choose the private route cuz I needed to pattern my life ASAP, being a student at the time also facing exclusions for distractive and “self sabotaging” behaviour, and my assessment was a good six months after exams.
See your GP first and foremost and discuss your symptoms and you should get a referral.
Talk to a professional and see if you can get a formal diagnosis… it’s worth it.
Not much to go on, get evaluated by a psychiatrist and then work on getting either or both medicines or therapy to help you manage it.
Unless you have something more specific that you can say about why you think that you have ADHD or if there’s something you need help with, that’s about as far anyone can tell you.
What if I’m just lazy as my mum says?

You aren’t lazy. Laziness is just a term we use to shame people who aren’t doing what we want them to do. There are always reasons people don’t do stuff.
For people with ADHD, it’s often down to executive dysfunction. But there are other reasons.
Real. My mum always called me lazy and said I need to be ambitious. I’ve always been more ambitious than anything, I’ve js been unable to act on that ambition most of the time.
