I was diagnosed with adhd today it's quite a relief to know what's been holding me back in life in 52 now

[keldaco.]

I hate that when I research adhd, it only talks about adhd in school and learning and not how it affects ya life on daily basis

[alexposada]

I have ADHD and anxiety, man this world is unforgiving. Super cruel. I am 12 and used to get in school suspension almost every day before I started therapy and medication. Thank you for making this known. By the way pets help with the hyperactivity and a bit of the lack of attention.

3:47 I cry so bad from this point.. it's hard to have self esteem when everybody correct you and constanly reminding you of how you are born to be a failure and you realize how lucky are they to be normal and connect\ learn easily\naturaly. While you broke down each time they get laugh at you and intentionaly left you out. Friend's will suddenly reply with a seen on your messages cause you were weird and they will just get stress from you or you will be remembered as the clumsiest and stupidest person before.. so you will act out normal from day to day basist even you know from yourself they might remember something that will put shame again on to you then others with devil minds will get easily manipulated others to put hate on you. Even if you have the recognition they will never suspect it to be you because you were just a failure on to them. Tried living normal but then after a day or so adhd will hit you so hard again then anxiety will call depression then find some relatable videos on yt that will make you feel like you need to brake down. A month or so i will go here search adhd again and try to find a cure that will never ever happen because it's just unfair you just make your feelings numb and that's it faking it. You just want to excel a one thing but life will hit you so hard realizing you are already 26 and life goals is just to far to reach. Because you still need to earn a living and support your family, you will started to learn again and repeatedly feel the same way and the more you learn the more you forgot so you need to memorize harder than people who have cram it all night and their score are higher than you after the exam [so you will fake it that you just cram it all night too {so bad with exam due to slowpoke and anxiety/mind cloud issue}]. Realizing you developt short term memory so you want to be diagnose but the hospital will make you wait for 8 hours and suddenly after you lost trust cause its business after all they will just sell your data to deep shit sites so insurance will not credit your plan. Stupid! No Friends! Lame! Ugly! untalented! Props! Forgotten.. hated.. left out.. just writing this feels relaxing [no time to rewrite it lol] [copy paste somewhere, not me but from a friend of mine] Just be brave because you have yourself! pray!

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 5 years old. I remember my parents dealing with my ADHD and me feeling isolated becaus of my ADHD. Giuliana has the same struggle I had when I was a kid, so I can related to her. Fast forward to the present day, at 26, I'm still dealing with and struggling with ADHD.

It is very annoying that they speak about this anomaly almost everywhere, as if they were only affecting children and that they will grow it out and become adult without problems.

[jordangulley]
