I always thought I was ADHD, then I started a business, turns out I just like
to do things my way and lead not follow. I've struggled to "focus" my whole
life I'm a jack of all trades and master of none.

When you find the right thing you'll know. I would do what I do now for free
or if I was worth 100 Million because I love the game.

I cannot speak for anyone else, but what you described is very similar to what
I went through for most of my life.

It felt like there would be periods where I would be so adverse to any kind of
work, and look for any possible reason to push it off or do nothing, and spend
the rest of the day on Reddit or HN.

Eventually I started seeing a psychiatrist, and he diagnosed me as manic
depressive, with possibly a case of ADD.

He prescribed me a combination of Lamictal and Wellbutrin (the latter of which
is also prescribed occasionally for ADD), and I can honestly say that it has
changed my life.

I used to think that I was just lazy, and maybe I was, but I am certainly not
anymore. My job has been a lot easier to do, I don't look for excuses to spend
all day on Reddit, and my life has simply been better.

I suffer the same as you, but at a younger age.

I have also been wondering if I suffer from ADHD too. Even at university I
really struggled to sit there and do one thing for an extended period. I
stopped going to lectures because I couldn't handle sitting in the lecture
theater for an hour, I could never do homework either.

The only work that I've ever really managed to focus on and stick at for hours
is physical work, like construction work or hospitality.

Like others have suggested, exercise does seem to mitigate my problem
somewhat. I've found that going to the gym at lunch really helps. Don't just
go solo to the gym though, or you'll just procrastinate at the gym, you need
to join a group class
