I honestly hate my ADHD. I can't say why I just hate the way I act, the way people look at me. Just everything.

[nataliewilliams]

To everyone who doesn't have a learning disability/sees someone having a hard consentrating, can't seem to focus or just seems to be having a hard time understanding the work given to them.


Please try to help them.


go over to them, ask if they need help, explain the work to them and then help keep them on track. You don't know how far a little help and explanation can go.

My parents keep getting really angry about how I’m not getting good grades because of late assignment my ADHD makes it very hard to remember and get motivated to get my work done. I struggle really bad with it and I’m afraid that if I mention it to them they will just count it as an excuse

[CoolestHamilton]

I hate how my ADHD makes me so different, it’s hard enough that people thinks it’s our fault and that we apparently act the way we do and use ADHD as an excuse, but ADHD makes you do actions before your brain can even think it.
The fact that if parents don’t give the attention and right mood to there children with ADHD, that child could get depression, anxiety and that could result to bipolar, etc
It’s sad to see that most the world also has ADHD.

My dad never raised his voice at me, he never made me feel bad about my actions. I Loved growing up with my dad and my trans sister, because we all had very strange things about us that i felt a strong connection towards. Everyone else ive allways felt "strange" and "is this how all experiences social settings?". I remember i was the clown during kindergarden and early schooling, and i loved my life so much. I used to get yelled at by the adults in kindergarden. They accused me of doing all things on purpose, and i remember running to the bathroom, crying everysingle day, listening to the music that the cleaner played and manifested not just anger, but pure rage. I felt violated. I knew i tolded the truth. And i hated them for doing something that was, in my mind, inconceivable and abuse, and i allways thought "cant wait for my dad to yell at them back!", but he never did. He instead turned to me and told me that he knows that i dont do anything wrong, and i am not a "bad kid".

Everytime i did something that ended in a bad outcome, my dad would never get mad, instead he would just calmy hug me to stress me down, then explain in detail what i did that led to the outcome, while NEVER implying that it was wrong of my by doing it. He STRESSED on the fact that it was not my fault. While everyone else ridiculed me for my behaviours, my dad was actually saving my life by treating me and learning me his logic.

I remember the big turning point for me: I was maybe 5 years old and my dad had just taken me and my, then brother-soon-to-become-sister <3, and made us some insane slingshots. I ofc had super fun, but he had been very clear about what happens to poor animals if we hit them, so we never was even tempted. What he forgot to tell little and excited me was that the old windows on the farm was made by his moms das (i think), so i just smashed them all and had the best time ever. He came home, found all the valuable windows scattered everywhere, got me, explained what happened, told me it was ok and that was it.

This has stuck with me, and troughout my entire life, that single memory might be the reason im here today. It sure is the thing i tried to think about then i felt the world hated my guts.

Thank you for the thorough explanation. This made a lot of sense to clear up what it means to have ADHD.

Just told my mom i have adhd... She denied it and says "its only for crazy people" and "its only in your head".

[qtues]

thank you, this helped me understand myself

[saphireanabeth]

I wish parents knew that it's not my fault and that I'm trying :(

[no-icgw]

Adhd does have a relation to parenting. Rat and mouse studies have shown a relationship with play and attention if I remember correctly.
Look at the book the body keeps the score. It goes over the studies.

[mimiflwer]

i most likley have adhd but my mom doesent belive in mental illneses and im to young to get diagnosed on my own (im hardly 12) do yall have any tips

[rhiannon_legacy]

I've never had problems in school, but I definitely struggle around people. And I've seen so many stories and posts from people with adhd and I can relate with nearly all of them. Not sure if I should tell someone

[luvinqxpixie]

Hello I am lily and I’m nine years old
I could have autism or adhd this is the type of stuff I do without knowing:
Zone out without realising in lessons
Get angry easily
Hate loud noise and crowds
I get everything wrong and I’m only good at certain things.
Get obsessed with certain toys/video games.
I often forget to do things that I’m meant to do..
I don’t always listen
I sleep really badly for example I wake up in the middle of the night
I just hate the way people look at me when I act like this they look at me as if I’m Crazy. I often get scared when I’m around people like my besties because I worried about what they might think of me..
Every time I get told off I feel like.. like I’m just not good enough!!
I haven’t got diagnosed yet but I’m in the waiting list for it.

[sammiisdead]

it kinda sucks that if a grade isn't an A or B then the student isn't consider smart ..

[hereticalbug]

I live in vietnam and it have such a bad mentall health infustrusture that i have to travel to the biggest city to get any help, the school here is very hard and bad, also the doctor didn’t give me any stimulant

[vanillacookie]

Can I tell a therapist about this to know? But even if you say yes much last time I tried going to a therapist my mum wouldn't let me because I didn't have a real reason :((

[Clttd_Cram]

Almost my whole class hates me even though they know I have ADHD and they don’t care when I cry they just say “Are you okay?” To make me actually cry but to hide my tears in before they say that I say “oh it’s just my dandelion allergies” since I’m allergic to them and ppl know I’m abt to cry when my face is turning red

[southwestlickingschoolssuc]

I have severe adhd and could this be why people have a problem with me?

[foxnappr]

I wish people were aware more aware of ADHD

[S_a_afridi_]
