Urgent concentration problems

[jamcintyre]

Ever since i was 10/11 i've had alot of problems concentrating and im 20 now. At school i found it hard for any subject to hold my attention and id constantly find myself doodling or just not paying attention my teachers always told me i was wasting my potential, and when exam time came i tried to revise but was unable to sit there without being destracted by minor things but at the time i thought it was just being young. Now I am older i still find that i have a problem sticking to a task, I had to do a portfolio for my college interview recently and i would write a paragraph or two then i would completely loose my concentration and would find it hard to get back into it in the end i found myself trying to cram it in the day before even tho i had been attempting it for two months. Its also the same with hobbies i will do something for 5 min's or 2-3 sessions and loose my will to do it all together. Also in my working life i havent held a job more more than 9 months, ive never been fired i just loose all intrest after a while and feel i not challenged and move on. This is really starting to worry me as i am due to go back into education in september and i dont want to drop out for a third time due to being unable to keep an intrestest in something as this the course is something i really want to do in-order to attend university in the future.
Please help in any way you can.

I am not posing about any solutions. Its just that finally for the first time I realized that I am not the only one with these problems. I have exactly the same issues. I am also going back to school and I am tired of trying to concentrate. Same issues with hobbies. I really cant understand what is wrong or if there is a solution. There are medicines online but I dont know if these are scams or are really helpful.

I feel guilt all the time, for not being able to concentrate.
