Hey Sarah,
It's interesting because I thought I had ADHD too since I have all the things you describe and other things too and went through similar thoughts. I still haven't went to the doctor because I'm afaid (and I don't have insurance just yet) so I can't tell you how it will go. But I can tell you that you should bring up the focus problem and describe it with examples if you can. I'm not sure how it is in your country but here you have to have symptoms since age 7 (I did research on ADHD :P) Also, that might have changed with the new diagnosis book. I think it's best if you speak to your doctor and discuss your concerns. They'll tell you what they think it is and work with you. Good luck!
