I'm struggling to focus at maximum without stress and anxiety,I have ADHD and autism,I trying to listen to music but those thoughts and my emotional sensitivity is holding me back,because I always do something wrong or embarrassing on a daily. And I start overthinking everything and sometimes feel pathetic and take everything so seriously. I can't help it,well I know that I'm not supposed to take everything to heart but my mind refuses to and it starts effecting me physically and emotionally. When I start to overthink I can't focus on the present and it makes things worse. My teacher said something to me like a joke,but I took it to heart(I can't help it),my friend told me his just joking and ik that very well trust me but my mind isn't ready to accept that. Because of this I can't really socialize or get along with alot of people. Ik I'm probably gonna get zero replies in this chat but it's worth the shot. Idk if someone can help me because I kinda lost hope in others but anyways idk why I'm trying.(I take medication for adhd but still I'm the same,my mind is firing against its self)

try to think of your long term goals. What also helps is deviding bigger tasks into smaller tasks.
try to pick up a hobby like the rubiks cube
it will keep u occupied and increase ur attention span
it worked for me
Try find something that you like that keeps you distracted and something like fun or cool or nice yeah? And whenever ur feeling down,off the mood, sad,mad even maybe happy or just lost focus grab that thing. One of mine is music! I ALWAYS have my headphones I can’t live without them
Yo,thanks for the reply,I also like music aswell but those thoughts are very loud in my head,I think I have mentioned that I also listen to music so I can calm myself down,I think I mentioned it in my message but it doesn't help,its mainly because my goals are too big and because of that I'm suffering from isolation,and I have a annoying thing where I take everything to heart which I can't control. Ik they don't mean it but my mind isn't really to accept that. Plus no one really finds me that interesting,it's quite the opposite. I do break up tasks but when you have many expectations and tasks piling up its difficult,I'm also a top student in my school but people just judge me for intellect and don't really see how I'm suffering inside,everything people say just sounds generic. Sometimes I feel like a tool and not a person.
