its not like our minds work any different than anyone elses. we feel normal, we just get bored easier and it is harder for us to pay attention at times. its not like we are so radically different. i didnt find out i had adhd until i was almost 17, so its not like because of the way we think you can easily tell if you have it or not

im sixteen now and i think i may have it. i just dont know how i know i try really hard to get work done but my mind is always racing and it gives me a headache to try and concentrate and get the work done. im really disorganized and it stresses me out and teachers tell me all the time i have to get my act together and i do try and stay organized but it just never happens and i always forget things at home for school. its been like this since middle school but it seems to be worst this year maybe cause the workload is more.

yeah that definitely sounds like it to me. if you cant get some medication (which really helped me, just avoid vyvance that was terrible) try stretching when you feel your mind wandering and try having music on while you study so that you drown out the background noise in your house. those are a couple of things that work, also do harder homework earlier because later at night its harder to concentrate.

Its something you have to learn to control…. i was on meds since 5th grade to Jr year in HS and I felt so much better when i went off meds and just learned to relax. And I feel like I did think or operate differently then others. And its just a matter of learning about yourself and learning how to function. Just like everyone else. But I do think children are said to have ADHA or ADD to much and they just drug them to control them

well my parents think im looking for attention but really with how much my mind races and how much i worry and all the thoughts i think all at once i feel like im going insane and i just wanted to see what other people thought cause i think im going to try and get some help. i dont want people to think im looking for attention though i just feel like im a lot smarter then what my grades are telling me and i just would like the comfort of a relaxed mind because its really hard to sleep with how much i think.

i had the exact same thing it was really hard for me to sleep because i was thinking so much. just a heads up with adhd meds at first it will be even harder to go to sleep but it becomes easier. like i couldnt sleep until 2 every night after taking pills at 7 in the morning and now i take them at 8 and sleep at 1130. so itll be hard at first but you will get used to them if you do take pills. again though: dont take vyvance

if your going to take anything be careful!!!! Ritalin is very very very bad. all those drugs are very very close to legal speed.. And when you go off them you will go through withdraw… like any drug addict coming down from a high. And I have been through it and it sucks.(stopping taking Ritalin) and they have lots and lots of side effects so ask lots of questions and do research before you agree to take anything

i have adhd. its funny to me how silly i get. i have a lot of close friends. that love me becuase i am easily of task or don’t know what the answer is in class. instead of putting my self down. i just make a joke and laught it off. im a junior in high school. my mom and i argue all the time becuase i am always gotta do something, then my moms a really clean person. i am clean when i want to be not when she wants me to be. its hard for me to go to sleep at night. But hey i have ADHD. i new that sence the 2nd grade. i dont care it doesnt hold me back. just follow what you want to do. and keep going.
