I cant get my life together/ I cant work out if I am just different and shouls be leading a different way of life because the ways of society doesnt really sit well with me....

I think I have some mental problems

I am bright, but pursued something creative..which after constantly comparing myself to others and always puttuing myself down.. I didnt do very well..I dont understand how to fit into the work world.. or to co operate with others..keep to a certain time or structure

I cant hold down a job.. I change my mind constantly! and relashionships for this matter have not worked out. I speand alot of time in my own head
I met one guy last year who i felt for the first time in 24 years that i could relate to... but i started being really mena to him/really mean...always analyzing everything.. worried what other thought of him.paranoid he was with other girls...picking out all his bad parts. which i tend to do AND I HATE THAT and pushed him away/ to the point when i finally told him how i felt he was over it.
now i feel like i loved him..and i cant get him away from my head. i dont understand my brain.

I dont know what I want... Or I do but it is buried in all these fears and worries.
i get fristrated with modernlife..things bug me easily loud noises. horrible places etc

my mind thinks about 10 things at once i have the concentration span of a fly...
i start things and never finish them... i never do chores...
i feel like a mess...

i daydream alot..
the reason i am now seeking help is because tutors on a teaching course i took said i may have add or dyslexia or soemthing else...
they said i dont have a logical brain..AND I DONT
so basically i need to find something that my brain is going to do well at... because right now I am crashing on a friends sofa... working out what the hell to do next and laso feeling low because i cant seem to find any direction.. thats all i want

i want to feel peace in my mind and stop constantly analyzing peoples intentions.. which path to take and the future i just want to enjoy life without this weird block that i constatly have in my brain...

since a litte girl ive ben odd.. always walking off alone/wanting to be alone, like now i went travelling alone for 9 months kind of to feel invisable...and now because of all that time alone..thinking and thinking and thinking,,, I am bored of spending time alone. I feel like i nee dto DO SOMETHING

i spend alotof time alone..but have LOTS OF FRIENDS i am attractive and people have told me they find it hard to approach me. but say i am the funniest and nicest persron when they get to know me.. andi think people would be shocked to know that i am frustrated in my head 24/7..sometimes i just cant even sleep and walke up with an empty feeling in my soul. I just want to get on with life.. but i cant do it....

I think you may have ADHD. I looked up a quiz that you can take, but you should ask a doctor or something, too.

Here's the link for the ADHD quiz:

This ADD runs in my family. My father had it, but he just died. My elder brother dropped out of high school in 9th grade because everyone thought he was the dumbest kid on the planet. My son has it too and has been on vyvanse and adderall. I was sick lately and needed some ginger which I learned to love as a child, but this is the crystalized ginger (like candy and awfully hot). I too stared out the window, could never pay attention or anything in school, but when my mother introduced me to crystalized ginger, I became an A+ student. I have one year of college and married in 1975 and had to give back 2 full-ride scholarships. I am an A+ student because I learned to love crystalized ginger. Give it a try. Better than caffeine anyday!
