I wish I had an answer for you, but I'm in the same boat as you, except forgetting to eat because I'm always hungry. I can't seem to stay focused, can never stay on the same task for more than a few minutes at a time without getting majorly distracted.
I was much better on Ritalin but it made me so anxious I had to stop. I don't take anything for my ADD now and I feel like a fish out of water

Check lists and a timer.
At work I always keep a list of things I need to work on and I force myself to spend say an hour or two on it before I start moving onto something else. Once the timer goes off I will either move to the next thing or reset it and continue working...most times I move onto something else. Having a list keeps me organized.
I actually do the same at home for chores and things like that.

Yeah I can't focus at all unless I have a solid plan and goal. I want to do sooo many things but I get bored with it, drop it and do something else. The ideas never quite leave my head entirely, they enter and leave throughout the day, on a loop. Like, I wanted to learn spanish, so I'll pick up a book and start reading. This may go on for several days, then I'll want to learn coding, I'll pick up a book or read an article, then I need to make more money so i'll kinda scratch everything and start over again. Spanish, Coding, money on a loop. (with heavy thoughts of getting women scattered in between) Then I won't do anything for a while but the want to better myself remains in my head. It sucks
haha.
I'm easily distracted so dealing with people can be hard if I don't see a clear purpose and even when I do, i'm usually thinking of something else, wanting to be somewhere else (unless I'm having a lot of fun which takes a lot). I can't really stand in one place sometimes and sometimes all I want to do is stand in one place
. I think I just need an organized schedule, I'm working on that now.

. I think I just need an organized schedule, I'm working on that now.I do the same shyt like, doing like 3 or 4 different things for a few weeks on cycle. and the thing you really wanna do you just can't
this lists and schedule shyt is really hard for me too doesn't help much
When you have that level of inattentiveness and agitation, the "hunger" urge is tapered off dramatically due to loss of appetite and before you know it, its been almost 2 days since you've eaten and you only noticed because you woke up and almost passed out from weakness. I've had ADHD for years. I have not been on medication since I was a kid. I had so much going on in my teens and early 20s that I was able to stay in front of the symptoms. Its recently come back very aggressively in my late 20s (just turned 30). I had just left school and football after my racing accident and physical therapy, started my company and all that kept me crazy busy. I was doing big things at the time down in Atlanta and LA and I had really good friends (mostly women) that saw my hustle was affecting my body. I literally had homegirls who were calling me, made a schedule for me, or brought me dinner if I wasn't forced to come to their house for dinner and lunch because my body would literally give out on me from no sleep or food and overworking (96hr work weeks). A homegirl asked me when the last time I had eaten was after I had crashed once:You forget to eat?
Go check your brain breh
Her: You need to take better care of yourself man. When was the last time you ate?
Me: Uhh, not today or last night cause I was working...
Her:
Me: Ummm...I was gonna eat bfast yesterday but I didnt have time and figured I'd eat lunch at work.
Her: Did you?
Me: ...I forgot.
Her:
Her: So you didn't eat today. you didn't eat yesterday...did you eat the day before?
Me: I ate a couple hotpockets around 5 or 6 before I went back in to work.
Her:
Me: I forgot that I did eat a snickers yesterday though.
Her:
...Im gonna make you lunch, bring it and watch you eat today. Then you're eating dinner with my family tonight. Im out of town tomorrow but im calling Olivia and she's gonna be bringing you lunch and dinner until I get back. We'll be calling to remind you to eat everyday dumbass. Me: God bless women friends who see a young nikka w/potential "scrugglin" to keep it together.
I remember there was one time where I slept only 17hrs within a 6 day period and woke up in the hospital after trying to have a threesome at my homegirl's martini party
. Shorty said I stopped mid-stroke, fell backwards and hit my head on the window sill. They carried me to the car and drove me to the hospital lol. Those were some thorough brawds I was with back then. 
The worst thing that has lingered all these years for me is my short term memory. I have borderline photographic memory long term but at its worst, I could forget what I was saying mid sentence, twice. Listen to you ask me something 3 times and not recall what the question was....and thats IF you were even able to get my attention to start with. shyt is horrible as an adult brehs. Way worse than when you had it as a kid.

I have ADHD. Music, Meditation and lots of orgasms helps. I guarantee it.
- Listening to music while trying to work helps you concentrate better. It releases dopamine in the reward area of the brain which makes you work fluidly and stay focused. Doesn't have to be a specific genre just whatever music you enjoy listening to.
- Orgasms release a high amount of dopamine which is very similar to amphetamine which is basically what Adderall is.
- Meditation helps you reduce anxiety and stress and allows your mind to just quiet down from all your thoughts. This improves your concentration, impulsiveness and quiets your mind.
- Make sure you get enough sleep as well. This is very important.

Those awkward moments when your talking to a friend and feel bad that you really dgaf about what they are telling you, ur just halfway present, asking questions to play along but not listneing to any of it.

Thank you for sharing. + Rep.
I'm gonna try meditation, I usually do play instrumental in the background but it's hard not to end up switching my playlist aorund, looking for new songs I wanna hear. i'll create a playlist beforehand next time.
As far as orgasms, after bustin a nut im pretty much useless for the day. Chills me out a little too much.
