Q: Problems with Concentration / Patience

I would first like to start off with saying i am an 18 year old male and i have been suffering from something that greatly affects my mind. I'm in good shape i get decent grades and i'm in average in school. The problem is that i seem to have barely any concentration or patience. I can read fine but never have any patience to do so barely ever, i never seem to be able to do or understand even easy tasks right off.I always do things either to much or too little and that pretty much affects everything i do. I try so hard in gym to be good at sports but i always seem to be lacking the concentration to do it to my full ability and that enables me to join up on a team or anything because most the time my coordination is bad. My self confidence is very low and everything i do seems to not be quite right and it will bother me even more to the point i waste so much time trying to do one simple thing. I feel like this has been an everlasting problem and it seems as though i had this ever since i was a lot younger. I remember being younger i never participated in anything because i was afraid of doing it wrong and i really didn't have any want to do anything and I was just shy and out of it in my own world. I just feel like i have so many problems and they always crop up in my mind, i need to get ready for my future and think of things to do but i never have to will to even find out what i like in life cause i feel like i won't be good at anything. I just wish i could find out what my problem is so i could start to fix it somehow if possible. If anyone feels the same or has knowledge with this problem please let me know.

The lack of concentration can be a type of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). I am a bit concerned about the shyness and withdrawal components. If you feel like you lack energy, don't want to be around others, lack interest in things, and have unusual sleep patterns (such as waking up through the night, sleeping well over 8 hours or early wake/late retiring problems) then you may possibly be suffering from a form of depression. Either of these are treatable conditions but you will have to step forward and talk to your doctor about what you are experiencing.
