Suggest Treatment For ADHD And Insomnia

Okay I don't really don't know how to go about this but hear goes!! I'm a 20 year old full time college student working with two jobs.. I don't know if I have it or not.. But I need some answers Im too afraid of doctors to go straight there.. They always make me feel bad for coming and I always end up feeling worse with no answer... I always had a focusing problem when I can't listen to someone more than a few minutes without my mind wondering or just straight telling them I have stopped listening. I made good grades in high school but I really don't know how because I never pay attention. I always felt I had a learning disability because when I tried to listen I couldn't and didn't understand. But when I came in to college it got worse. I can't sit there during class without getting up something but mind wondering the whole time. I study but I can't remember one thing I have read when I close my book. I always lose something or have a hard time remembering where I put something.  I have really bad anger issues that I can't always control. People and their ways frustrate me. I cant take being around them long. I have panic attracts when I can't control things around. I have did a great job of holding things In so far in my life. But it coming to the point I cry trying to control everything. I never sleep I been up 48 hours. My body won't sleep. . I have work and a final In the morning but my mind won't focus on studying or sleeping. Maybe you can help me? (Sorry if it's hard to read and understand)

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Attention depends on circumstances. You may be able to watch an interesting movie for 2 hours without any problem. But cannot concentrate on education related books even for more than 10 minutes. That problem is not lack of concentration, but lack of interest.

Regarding your forgetfulness - If you are able to remember (after a little while recollection) the food you had for breakfast yesterday, the story of a movie you last saw, the names of your friends etc, you may not have memory problem. If you are not able to recall what you read, then it could again be lack of interest during reading or listening.

Getting angry, frustration, rage etc could be fallout of this disappointment. Think over. If it is necessary, do consult a psychological counselor.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
