Struggling with ADHD and afraid to tell my mom

Hi I'm Anthony (He/They) I'm 11 years old, I'm young ik, but I downloaded this app to talk about my conditions, here I go! I haven't been diagnosed yet, but I think I have ADHD, I really forgetful, I have trouble focusing, I have difficulty sitting still, I'm really disorganized, I talk to much, I'm careless alot, I day dream, I get angry easy, sometimes I don't want to talk to others, I get angry when sometimes doesn't go the way I plan. I'm too scared to tell my mom. My mom yells at me when I forget to take a shower do basic things, she started this new rule to wear slippers around the house and when I can't remember it, she yells at me. I zone off in class alot. I have a ton of papers in my locker, and something doesn't go the way I plan, I get mad. I cannot sit still, I change positions 24/7. I get F's on everything and then just act like it doesn't exist. whenever I'm in a conversation, I talk to much so I'm like 70% of the conversation. I don't want to talk to others sometimes, which ends with me ghosting them. I hate it! I HATE IT SO MUCH. I WISH IT WOULD JUST GO AWAY.

Hi Anthony. Welcome to the app! I agree that you should talk to a trusted adult like a counselor or teacher. And do be careful on here. Never give out personal information to someone you don't know, not even your last name.

Hey Anthony. It sounds like your mom isn't a trusted adult, but is there someone who you do feel comfy talking to like a teacher, counselor, or older sibling? This sounds a lot like how I felt when I was younger and I hate seeing a kid in pain. I think reaching out on here is great but please be careful who you engage with on this platform cause creeps will take advantage of confused/neurodivergent kids. I am a CPS person worker irl and have my degree in education so if you need help let me know.
