ADHD or just a lack willpower/movtivation?

Hi everyone, I hope I am not wasting anyone's time by posting. (I'm not that good at putting writing out my thoughts, so again my apologies) I'm just wondering if am showing symptoms of ADHD, or is it just a lack of willpower/focus or motivation? I've always been lacking energy. From what I heard, symptoms of adhd occur throughout life, so I guess ill try to delve into my early school life. Between Preschool through junior year in high school, I would be described as the very quiet and shy kid. I wouldn't cause any trouble or anything, and I didn't like attention. My grades were fairly decent in most subjects (As and Bs). I don't remember much from classes except teachers saying I needed to stop dozing off. Senior year my social skills changed dramatically. I soon was talking non-stop with people. What made me notice something was that both my parents and my friends compared how I talked to a me walking on a path on a road. They say the things I would be saying would be like me me jumping off the path running around in circles, then suddenly I would be back on the path. Repeat a few more times till the end of the path. I find myself procrastinating till the last moment and studying at the last minute with pure dread motivating me to study. Time is very hard for me to grasp and keep track of sometimes. My desk and workspace become cluttered from what it feels like out of the blue. I do have a bad habit of finishing people's sentences, and I sometimes feel that some people talk too slow. I have so many personal projects that I don't finish. Ill be reading sentences 5 times, but I can't seem to absorb it (pretty frustrating sometimes). I try to keep myself focused, but next thing I know I'm doing something else, and other times my head is in the clouds. I set alarms, post its, and marker boards to remind myself (Mostly failures) Writing essays have been a painful task for me. Writing this was not easy for me. I'm not even sure if I wrote relevant information. I do appreciate any opinions/help that anyone can offer. Thank you.
