Nos·tal·gia: What's it like to have ADD/ADHD? →
nancyidgaf:
It’s like listening to a shitty radio station with a lot of static and you’re straining to hear the words.
It’s like trying to build a house of cards in a dust storm. You have to build a structure to protect yourself from the wind before you can even start on the cards.
It’s like driving in the…

Sometimes I stay still, really really still, to see if all the buzzing in my head stops for a second, but it doesn’t. It never stops.

inattentiveadhd:
It seems I have eventually found a doctor that doesn’t prescribe whatever dosage of whatever medicine first comes to their mind.
And school is seriously not working at all. My Strattera dose has been raised to 50 mg today. It’s been the worst day, I felt extremely lethargic for some reason, I…

I lost my phone card, too.
I still haven’t bought a new one because I can never save enough money.
I also frequently lose my glasses around my room.
I lost my passport, twice. The second time I was lucky enough for it to be returned to me.
I lose my bus card on a regular basis. I forget my…

A Deficiency of Attention
fabu-lass:
I was 12 when I was properly diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. I do not have ADHD, which has the added problem of hyperactivity. I do, however, have a valid learning disorder. What does living with ADD mean to me? Read on to find out.

Scatter, flow, useless. Meaningless.
meggo2:
I hope you realize that I’m not as blind as you think I am. You’re pushing me away, and I might be okay with that.
——Separate thought. A.D.D flows throughout my blog.
Names stack up in my mind. I can’t keep them straight anymore. I’ll tell myself I’m tucking done, but that’s a lie.
——Next.
I’d like to build up these “personal” posts and create a monologue. One huge depressing...

…to think before I speak, therefore eliminating the need to throw in countless ums or uhs or likes… I have to talk a lot at my job. I spend my day convincing people to buy wine. I have to say weird french words and explain the fermentation process quickly and effectively. I have to use so many adjectives that sometimes I sift through a thesaurus for a quick pick me up. But, sometimes,...

Personal Experience with Adult ADD
happyhealthyhopeful:
aliceoffduty asked:
Maybe you could write more about your problems with ADD? I’m actually just curious, because I find it unbelievable how many Americans are diagnosed with it and I think it’s ridiculous that kids have to eat pills and stuff. I sometimes have a feeling like everyone’s diagnosed with ADD.
It’s a complicated subject. ADD is different for many people,...

Ravens and writing desks: the joys of ADHD →
phoenixblue13:
Be prepared for a long rant. So, I have a brilliant, charasmatic, and fun 6 year old little boy, who also has Adhd. This is something that we have know about since he was three years old and went into day care. I mean, I always noticed that he was “up” all the time, but I pretty much wrote it off…

I have ten hours of school three days a week.
inattentiveadhd:
I can keep up some bit of attention about two or three hours at most. I keep losing track but I try to concentrate, and if I’m good at a subject, it’s alright sometimes and it doesn’t matter if I miss half of the things the teacher says. But how am I supposed to listen to a single word, let alone understand anything if I have maths in fifth period? Never mind anything after?

my 2 irrational/rational fears.
sweetsweetsurrealism:
I don’t have a fear of abandoment.
I don’t fear change.
I don’t fear the worst.
I like to think and tell myself that I laugh in the face of danger.
I do have an irrational fear of the library cutting up my library card from utilizing the library too much.
I also have this fear that my learning dissability is taking over my body. It has gotten very bad. I am swapping...

Back from therapy, bragless but okay.
demeter42:
So I went to therapy today. I’ve been seeing J for… gosh, a good eighteen months or so. Maybe longer. I’ve been seeing her through multiple psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners - she helped me find Dr. E when things were quite clearly no longer working with Dr. R, in particular. I was sent to J by my employer’s EAP counselor, L. By the way, I always loved that thing...

Hate makes me a sad turtle =(
turtlecrossing:
I can’t tell you that I’m bipolar, because then you’ll assume I’m some kind of axe-murdering psycho and want nothing to do with me.
Or you’ll think I’m making it up for attention.
I can’t tell you I have ADHD, because you’ll think I’m stupid.
Or making it up to get attention. Because it’s oh-so-trendy these days.
I can’t tell you I have a lot of Asperger’s symptoms, because...

Hearing but not listening.
nlle:
It can take but a moment and I quickly become swept up by some sort of aloof excitement created by my own mind with the support of my surroundings and through the process I lose my mind to that infallible nonsense. At this point, you are saying incomprehensible things. Reality is disconnected, nothing makes the slightest amount of sense. The situation has turned into one similar to that...

I LEARN THIS NOW?!?
It’s not just me. It’s not because of my medication.
I need to get me some melatonin.

So, yesterday I went to the state fair. I didn’t last nearly as long as I would at my peak (one of the many things I like about hypomania is the ability to do a 16-hour day at Disneyland and not be hurting.) But I definitely pushed myself to the absolute limit, such that by the time I got home, I was in a terrible state and had to run down my official list of things to check when I...
Procrastinating as a distraction from confusion
twilightfades:
I wonder why being confused is such a terrifying thing for me. Is it just because my jumbled brain makes it harder to figure things out? I notice that a lot of my procrastination isn’t just out of boredom or lack of focus on it’s own, it happens when I come across something (or have to do something) that I just don’t understand/don’t know what or how to do it. This is for big...
things i hate today
skeletaldecay:
i have a bit of an obsession with adhd. i have fought with adhd my whole life and normally without a lot of help so it was up to me to figure out how to fit in. i’m still not there but goddamnit, i’m trying. the help out there for adhd drives me crazy. a majority of adhd books are not adhd friendly and read like a text book. if you do not know how difficult it is to read a...
I can't do this.
funnyshroomz:
I’m sitting here, alone. All I want right now is to get away from having to do summer reading. After I finish Prodigal God, I have to type a paper about it. I have T-Minus 4 days to do all of that. I know 4 days may sound like a lot of time left, but to me it’s not. I have ADHD so it’s really hard for me to concentrate on stuff that I don’t want to do. And I REALLY don’t want to do...

dahliadoll:
I went to an psychological test today to determine if I have ADD. It lasted 5 hours & 30 minutes. -_- I ended up breaking down when I was asked how it was like growing up. I was expecting to be asked that question, but it hit me on the spot when I was asked about it. Ugh. I got angry when Xavier…
Meds wearing off...
demeter42:
The one way I can tell that my Vyvanse is definitely working at least a little bit - about 12 hours after I take it, plus or minus, my leg starts bouncing like I’m getting paid to do it. Usually takes about twenty minutes of it for me to notice. I’ve been bouncing since a little after 9pm. Strangely enough, I’ve also been getting sleepier and sleepier since a little after 9pm. ...

I am not
speakingofapplepie:
…having a good couple of days. I need a break. I’m being extra ADHD lately, so I can’t get a single fucking thing done despite all my best efforts. I dislike the army right now (the powers that be can’t decide when people get leave.) I sorta hate this long distance deployment shit, and I feel like I’m not dealing with it nearly as gracefully as I should be. I shouldn’t say...

The Expectation to Call

Me: *calls mom* “Hi. Are you home?”
Mom: “Nope. I’m headed to the office. Why?”
Me: “I’m in town. I forgot my keys in [my apartment in another state].”

Me: “Oh…”
Mom: “When did you get in?”
Me: “Yesterday.”
