I want to be evaluated for ADHD. Are these dumb reasons?

Sorry for how bad I explain everything, I've been tired recently. Skip to "Why I want to be evaluated and medicated" if you just want to answer my question. You can do the polls or comment.

Why I think I have ADHD: I haven't really believed that I may have ADHD until this year. When I was younger, I felt separate from my peers because of how I interacted with people. I was very awkward and somewhat hyper, and I was oddly obsessed with principles, especially my church's (I went to a Baptist Church) and when I didn't read my Bible one day, listen to Christian music, dress modestly, etc. , I would feel like I was a bad person. This has been a problem in my life, ESPECIALLY last year. It was absolutely horrible, I try not to think about it too much because I was literally not connected to literally anyone and I felt disgusting. I was obsessed with trying to do anything EVER IMAGINABLE to prevent damage to the Earth in general and its inhabitants, I had to perfectly demonstrate any little thing I did so that I would be perceived a certain way, I COMPLETELY overanalyzed literally anything to the point that it made me feel like everything was hopeless and life was meaningless, I once stopped eating to "let the Earth control my body the way it's meant to", I avoided certain ingredients in foods and I didn't allow myself to eat dessert, I avoided looking at screens, I wrote supersuper small because I didn't want to waste paper, aaand there's a WHOLE LOT MORE. I've also experienced demolishing derealization off and on since 8th grade. 

I know that OCD can be a symptom of ADHD, and I definitely think that was the case. I'm a completely different person because I HAD to condition myself to think normally and act normally. 

I think a current symptom of ADHD could be my lack of time management and my inability to do my schoolwork most times... If there are people talking, I need music to focus, and if nobody's talking, I can't listen to music. Another symptom is how much I talk. I talk so much and sometimes I don't let my friends get a word out and it makes me feel disgusting. I try to stop but it seems impossible.

I'm not sure if this is related to ADHD, but sometimes I think about how people may be looking at me, so I try to look good/normal or something ?? I hate that feeling sm, but it happens a lot and my brain goes blank because if people truly are analyzing my every move like my brain thinks, then they're gonna think I'm weird or something. Idek.

Why I want to be evaluated and medicated: 

1. I really want to focus on the things I really care about again, but if I begin to cut things out of my life for that, they'll most-likely become compulsions and I don't want that to happen again. I want to be an activist when I'm older.

2. Not only do I want to focus on things without them becoming compulsions, but I want to focus in GENERAL! I don't want to have to stress myself out everyday because I can never finish anything in time.

3. I want to be calmer and not talk soo much. I want more self-control



My mom told me that I just need to cope with whatever I've got going on, but I'm not sure. I've been trying to get good sleep (not tonight haha). I'm not sure if these are things you can cope with.


 

Should I get evaluated or are there ways I can cope with the problems listed?
