healthyrockergirl:
I was ready to go to bed, I was saying good night to my mom since I’m such a good girl and all, and I had my flash drive in my hand, and in the time it took me to get from my room to my mom’s, I lost it, I didn’t remember where I had put the damn thing I turned on every light in the house and…

The Life and Thoughts of an ADHD Student: My mom... →
scattered-focus:
My mom knows I have ADD. She just doesn’t get it when I’m having issues that are actually results of my ADD.
Last week I just got home from work and I had eaten at work already since business was slow and I was tired and trying so hard to think of “no thank you” to the nachos my mom was giving…

whatthehellamidoingtomorrow:
I ran out of ADD meds 2 days ago. I decided not to bother getting a refill becuse I get to see my doc tomorrow morning. I have been taking Vyvanse, but it’s too damn expensive. Im going to see if we could try another med. This is my first day back from being off for 6 days. Im swamped at work. Yet…

The thing i hatest the most me is that I have to be myself
I don’t know if all the adhd’s feel like it but I do. I say things that I never meant, i forget to do things, I brake promess without realizing. I’m a fucking monster.
But I swear that everyday I try to change, and the fact that i can’t change just kill me a little bit more each day.

thewayiam-insomniac:
Something has to change. I can not go through another year of college like this. Chances are I am going to fail half of my classes even though I am trying my best. So much is expected of me and I try to get it all done, but even though I try so hard, my to do list is getting longer and longer. And even when I meet the teacher after every class to go over what I was suppose...

I still feel guilty.
one-more-lost-soul:
Since I found out that I had ADHD-PI, more than two years ago, I’ve felt like it’s my fault, like I’m so stupid. Its one of the major causes of my depression, I think. Why can I not stop feeling guilty and hating myself for this?

lareinearlequin:
Listen, dear. We both know you are terrible at getting stuff done. It comes with the ADHD. This is why your doctors gave you this Adderall. But, sweetie, I don’t care if you need that extra bump to get through your day/work/90s Jon Stewart movie marathon, please never take said medication so late…

healthyrockergirl:
and the waves wash old ideas and bring new thoughts, my mind is never steady and I can’t seem to hold on to an idea, a task anything for more than a few minutes at a time, it’s annoying and I know it doesn’t define me, but it’s part of who I am, it has molded my life and my way of thinkin and…

aconstellationofthoughts:
I am very fortunate. It was rocky, but after a few months of taking it, I realized without a doubt that Ritalin is the right medication for me and my circumstances. I am fortunate because this was the first drug I tried, and it worked. Lucky, lucky me.
However, I am aware that a lot of people…
literarymercenary:
I wonder if having Attention Deficit Disorder or ADHD renders you immune to hypnosis.
The way I explain my ADD to people is by comparing thinking to a constant mental game of Six Degrees of Separation. I might be talking to, I dunno, fwl, and he might be wearing a red shirt. And the guys who die on Star Trek are the redshirts. And I saw Star Trek’s reboot in theaters with one...

What Attention Deficit Disorder looks like:
Extremely little patience for things that are uninteresting or whose usefulness isn’t readily apparent.
Getting easily distracted when expected to pay attention to things that are uninteresting or whose usefulness isn’t readily apparent.
Inability to focus on one thing for a very long time without breaks, even if it’s something...
sharkk-baiit:
Just because I have ADD doesn’t make me stupid, it just means I have trouble staying focused. I have to work twice as hard as anyone else so if anything, you should be saying I’m smart. That is all.
New Pet Peeve
abreakwithreality:
I fucking hate it when people joke about having mental disorders and stuff that they clearly don’t have. As a guy who has ADD, a best friend with ADHD, and two friends with OCD, I ask y’all to stop it. Just cut it out. You can’t just say “I’m ADD like that.” It’s a disorder. It affects your whole life, not just one bit of it. Also, whatever your conception of the disorder is,...
betheriel:
Why isn’t the ADHD medicine working? :( I feel like I always do, no side effects and I tried to watch a movie the other day and well, I finished it but oh my god, at the end I felt like I’d rather kill myself than watching the last 30 min.
Amazing Compliment
ladyak:
I saw my doctor on Thursday for a follow up on my ADHD meds. I was honest with her and said that my focus on the increased dose was perfect but l also felt very jittery and like my heart was racing. I told her I didn’t like it and wanted to go back down. My doc looked at my file and checked a few things. Apparently my blood pressure had gone up and I lost 6 lbs without doing anything,...

helplessness-and-advice:
Many people might be shocked by this but I find reading extremely difficult. I try to look at the page but nothing seems to go into my head. I lose focus extremely easily and I can find myself wandering in and out of daydreaming and I don’t even know it. The words on the page then seem to start moving and that’s when I have to put a book down.I always feel like a right...
FUCK YOU, ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER.
look-something-shiny:
FUCK. YOU.
I just want to do my homework. Okay? I do not CARE if YOU would rather poke around on the Internet. Looking at memes is not conducive to homework happening! Neither are any of the following:
Wondering if there’s a meme for attention-deficit people
Looking around but not too hard because who has that kind of attention span? Not me!
Considering, briefly, making...

iwillchangemyself:
I have no idea what I’m doing. Everything is just messed up. Today I went to see my psychiatrist again. I explained to him that I had a bit of an explosive moment with my wife, where I left her cowering under my anger. It has taken far too long for me to go back to the psychiatrist to try and fix this intensely aggressive behavior. I stopped taking my Adderall because of it....
What I feel every single day

I feel worthless ,
Not knowing which is my first language.
I feel worthless,
Having to stutter when I read.
I feel worthless,
As I look at texts and makes me dizzy.
I feel worthless,
As I cannot spell very well.
I feel out of focus,
As I cannot concentrate doing my work continually.
I feel out of focus,
As people yell at me when I day dream in the middle of a conversation.

For my ADD. I haven’t been on medication for almost four years. Keep in mind, this medication is an amphetamine. I swear my mind was racing. I was wide awake, fully aware of everything around me. My brain was working so fast I could barely keep up with it. My heart was beating so fast, at first…
ADHD in College
ashmfnpashhh:
Easily one of the greatest misfortunes of my life.
& when people find out that I take meds for it, they’re all shocked & stuff and give me OMG faces. & “I didn’t know you were on that.” Yeah, I know you didn’t; that’s not something you just share with people in general conversation.
I’ve been off Adderall for about a month now, and though I don’t miss the awful...

Aasjkdfasdf will someone come slap me or something because got I’ve barely achieved a title for this paper.
I hate how everyone says that they have A.D.D./A.D.H.D. No. Everybody gets distracted sometimes, it doesn’t mean you glance in a different direction and suddenly have a learning disability. IT’S. NOT. FUN. I’m so frustrated asdof;asdf /rant over.
