ADHD or not?

How do we know if we have ADHD or are just lazy. What’s the difference? Do some of you have stories or examples?

“ More broadly, I want all people to take a curious and empathic approach to individuals whom they initially want to judge as “lazy” or irresponsible. If a person can’t get out of bed, something is making them exhausted. If a student isn’t writing papers, there’s some aspect of the assignment that they can’t do without help. If an employee misses deadlines constantly, something is making organization and deadline-meeting difficult. Even if a person is actively choosing to self-sabotage, there’s a reason for it — some fear they’re working through, some need not being met, a lack of self-esteem being expressed. People do not choose to fail or disappoint. No one wants to feel incapable, apathetic, or ineffective. If you look at a person’s action (or inaction) and see only laziness, you are missing key details. There is always an explanation. There are always barriers. Just because you can’t see them, or don’t view them as legitimate, doesn’t mean they’re not there. Look harder. Maybe you weren’t always able to look at human behavior this way. That’s okay. Now you are. Give it a try.” From the author of the article I posted below.

I don’t think laziness is generally something that is motivating actions. It’s something you put on someone else as a moral diagnosis to their refusal or inability to do something that you think should be done. When it comes to the reasons why you don’t do something, is it really because you are morally bankrupt and refuse to do the thing you know you should do? Or do you feel anxiety about doing it, so you don’t? Or perhaps it’s overwhelming, so it’s like you physically can’t? Or you’re to tired to do it? Do you want to do the thing you think you should do? Do you think it is someone else’s job and you’re frustrated, so you wait for them to do it instead? If any part of you wants to do it or thinks you should do it, but you find physical or mental blocks that keep you from doing it, I don’t think it’s laziness.

Lazy to me doesn't care about a task vs adhd cannot do a task but spends the entire time they are avoiding the task reminding themselves what a shit they are for not doing said task.

In my opinion, laziness does not cause that much feeling of guilt like ADHD does :(
