You can read my comments in this thread. Trust me I know exactly what it’s like having a midterm coming up and staring at a book and being unable to read one word, on the verge of flunking out, and realizing your life is not going to amount to shit. Which means, I was procrastinating even when the consequences and stakes were high.

Either I was reckless, or I had no conception of the magnitude of the consequences. Is that a concentration issue?

Of course I cannot speak for everyone with ADHD but for me the focus issue generally extends even to typical procrastination behaviour for I can't consistently focus on things that are fun and harmless, like reading a novel (currently The Expanse) or watching a Netflix show or physical activities (BJJ).

I think that ingrained bad habits are only the top layer in a life with ADHD.

no one here can diagnose you. see a professional if you would like a professional diagnosis.

take some responsibility for yourself.
