Is it possible I have ADHD?

...See more So this has been really stressing me out for the past year, I'm wondering if I have ADHD. First I want to say that I'm really close to failing my 8th grade year right now and so I need to find ways to catch up with my homework! Although, my grades first dropped when I started 6th grade since the workload was harder. I have a very hard time concentrating on my work whether its at home or its in school. I also do other things like fidgeting, and losing my train of thought about every 10 secs! I have other symptoms but this is getting too long lol. I see a psychiatrist and he recently started me on ADHD medication (ritalin) and said that I show a lot of the symptoms. Am I diagnosed? I don't want to come off as using a disorder as an excuse for my missing work, I just want to know if I have this disorder so that I could have the right treatment. Also, any tips for handling my schoolwork is very appreciated!

...See more I've been dealing with depression for a while, and it only seems to get worse. Everyday I hate myself for every little thing. I've also been having a really hard time focusing on schoolwork and I miss a lot of work. When I give up on homework (usually because its hard for me to focus or it's just too hard), I feel overwhelmed and hate myself even more. I feel like I can never amount to anything and that I am useless. My current situation is: a group project that is due tomorrow, I'm supposed to draw a bunch of frames for a psa video but I'm struggling with my mental health. I eventually gave up on it and now I hate myself so much. My groupmates keep texting me "are you done? we need this video finished!" and I've been avoiding them. I feel like a terrible person and I really want to self-harm or even commit suicide. I'm so overwhelmed and don't know what to do. God, I feel like I'm victimizing myself for posting this or threatening suicide, but I really am in a bad place and it feels like the end. I'm a bad person.
