With ADHD I have exactly three types of work days:

✔️ Get absolutely nothing done
✔️ Get 4 hours of work done, at a random time of day
✔️ Get 40 hours of work done in 8 hours
Whenever I tweet about ADHD, I get a lot of "do I have ADHD?" DMs. It's possible! A lot of people do go undiagnosed into adulthood.

I can't diagnosis you. If you're inquiring seriously, please do more research and contact a doctor.
My process for getting diagnosed with ADHD as an adult was as follows.

When I started to get suspicious I might have it, I took a self diagnostic test online, then brought it to my psychiatrist. He referred me to a neuropsychologist for screening, and my diagnosis was confirmed.
Please do be aware that there can be lots of underlying issues for severe focus issues. Mental illness can hurt our ability to focus, and so can physical pain, or even just external stress.

Following up with your doctor is really important!
