Do These Patterns Sound Like ADHD to You?

Hi everyone, I’m new here and I’m trying to understand myself better. I’m not diagnosed with ADHD, but I’ve been questioning whether I might have it because of some ongoing patterns in my life.

I struggle a lot with focus and consistency. I tend to procrastinate until there’s pressure, and then suddenly I can perform really well. Without urgency, even simple tasks feel overwhelming or mentally exhausting. I make detailed plans, get excited about goals, and then lose momentum quickly. My motivation fluctuates a lot, and it makes me feel frustrated because I know I’m capable.

I also experience what feels like hyperfocus. When I’m interested in something, I can spend hours on it and lose track of time. But maintaining long-term consistency is very hard for me.

Another thing I’ve noticed is relationship fixation. When I like someone, my mind constantly goes back to them. I replay conversations, wait for messages, overanalyze small details, and my mood can depend a lot on their responses. It feels like my brain “locks onto” them, and I struggle to redirect my attention to other things.

I’ve had similar patterns since school studying last minute, depending on pressure to function, feeling like I understand things but lacking structure.

I’m not trying to self-diagnose. I just want to understand whether these experiences resonate with ADHD (especially inattentive type), anxiety, attachment issues, or something else.

Has anyone here experienced similar patterns before getting diagnosed? I would really appreciate hearing your perspective.
