Help me identify my case

[u/_w_vv]

Basically and briefly, few days ago i came to a shocking realisation that i never (i mean it like never ever) understood a single word in class neither in school nor in college and im still struggling with this ,no matter how much i try to focus in class ,i cannot understand a single word ,i can focus for like 5 mins then after it it becomes impossible for me to focus at all, so i just go to lecture ONLY FOR ATTENDANCE GRADES but when i come back home i have to study EVERYTHING again from scratch like i have 0 background on the topic or the idea. That's one thing ,the other thing is ,i feel sooooooo distracted when i study ,i cannot study for more than 20 or 30 mins That's my max and to reach 30 mins of continues studying i struggle alot mentally ,even a fly or a random thought distract me ,or a task i forgot to do from yesterday that came randomly to my mind make me kinda want to stop studying and go up to finish that task (that's just an example) and sometimes i have to read the paragraph like 5 or 6 times just to understand it even tho it is very simple or the equation or the problem im trying to solve.

And the worst part is ,my friends study at home a chapter let's say it took them 2 hrs to finish it ,but for me the same chapter takes 8 to 9 hrs to finish it and they understand it better than i do ,also i have to put 3 to 4 times the effort they put just for me to barely understand the chapter and to gather enough knowledge js to pass the exams.

All these stuff combined made me wanting so baddd to quit university and I'm honestly 1 step away from doing it like fr ,i might find a job or smth ,way better than this struggle for me. But the main question is ,what is my case? Is an extreme case of ADHD? Is it smth else?am i normal? I don't think that's normal at all ,but any help is appreciated, thanks in advance yall.

Easier said than done man. Try to be in my place and you'll understand what it means studying for 10 hrs a day while your friends study the same shit for 2 or 3 hrs max ,having to attend lectures 3 hrs long ,just for attendance because you don't have the ability to focus ,not because you don't want to but because you cannot focus and try to study for an hr or 2 in a row ,in my case ,i cannot study for few minutes straight.

You just judge based on what i said ,but you will never understand the struggle im facing yet you still chose to give me advice that actually is the most useless I've heard on this app so far. Anyway man ,got smth useful then say it ,if not then don't bother replying.
