I study computer science and any time I sit down to code, I just browse or watch Youtube. Anything but do the work. Days and even months have gone by like this where I haven't done even an hour of learning. Its tough because in order to code I need to be in front of a screen but my brain refuses to study and just looks for that dopamine hit. My grades have suffered and I feel like a constant failure.
To clarify this is not an effect of the pandemic but has been happening for the past few years.
Hmmm when I think about it, I did have moments where I procrastinated a lot in school(submitting reports close to the deadline or sometimes even after, not being able to study for exams in subjects I found "boring") despite my relatively good academic record. I think going to a doctor might be worth it after all if what you're saying is true in my case. Thanks regardless though.
I would, if you have the ability. Inattention can be a symptom of several things, not just ADD/ADHD. But if there's something like that going on to the point where it's interfering with your life, there's someone who's job it is to figure out what's happening and help you fix it.
