It’s completely understandable that you’re feeling scattered, but what you’re describing sounds more like 'monkey mind'—a common experience for students where the brain becomes restless and jumpy due to academic pressure and constant digital stimulation. Unlike ADHD, which is a lifelong neurodevelopmental pattern present since childhood across all areas of life, monkey mind is often a situational response to stress that makes your thoughts feel like they’re swinging from branch to branch. In a high-pressure environment, your mind is simply trying to process too many 'what-ifs' and tasks at once, creating a sense of mental noise that can be settled through mindfulness and structured routines rather than clinical intervention. We can work on 'taming' this restlessness by breaking your work into smaller, finite goals and using grounding techniques to help your focus return to the present moment.
