Hello, recently I've been worried about how I've been feeling. I'm not quite sure what it is, so I was wondering what your take on it would be. Excuse me if this was posted in the wrong forum. I couldn't find a diagnosis forum.
I constantly feel like there is a transparent cover between my eyes and the world, as if I'm just not "connected". My eyes never discern anything; I am oblivious. Another way to put it is that I feel like I'm daydreaming 24/7. I just can't break out of it and pay attention. I often forget important things, such as my backpack or cell phone. I really have no will to explain things etc.
After some searching around, and reading some personal stories, I think I have a terrible case of absent-mindedness. I live in a very stressful environment, parents intrusive, lots of raised voices, messy environment, and bad family relations. Also I have had terrible paranoia issues in the past, a little today.
I believe I got to be this way because of how I was raised or due to heritability. For example, my mother one day told me to get the groceries out of her car even though both my friend and I saw her bring all of the bags in. She didn't think she even got any of the bags. I do equally absent minded things every so often.
Is this ADD/ADHD? If not, could you please give me some advice in the right direction? I really need to get to the bottom of this, it's affecting a lot of things in my life.
