Anybody with ADHD?

Just curious, does anybody here have ADHD/ADD? What's it like?

Will you take an answer from a hooman with undiagnosed ADD?

Yeah, sure

Hello Mortals I have ADHA and it sucks because you cant sit still and you can't have a lot of candy or you will be all worked up and won't be able to settled down you always have to move around and you get distracted a lot.

OOF did someone say ADHD? I have that and I take medicine for it.

It sucks. Your always distracted, and never in focus. It makes it really hard to beat that boss on the rpg you’ve been playing for a month….

I know. It sucks when you are trying to read a book or watch a movie becasue you can never finish it without being distracted.

I take medicine for mine, it’s a pretty high portion. You know why? Because it grew. I write when I can, and it’s hard to do that when 10 minutes later you want to watch a YouTube video.

I think I have it… But it's not diagnosed

Mines diagnosed. My 3rd grade teacher actually found out I had ADHD before my mother or anyone else.

Heh

My mom had other children with other diseases. All of them are disabled except FOR ME. The one who isn’t as broken as everyone else. But I have more Anxiety and Depression then all of the combine, well my 2nd oldest sister would beat me in the depressed category if it’s before her.

So I have a question… how does caffeine affect you? Bc I read that caffeine can make people with ADHD sleepy and actually calm them down rather than make them hyper

I don’t drink coffee so I wouldn’t know. But sugary and caffeine drinks don’t really do anything. They do kind of make us tired.

Okay… sorry I was just asking because I've noticed that caffeine makes me tired unless I have a lot of it? It's weird.

Well it’s hard to explain but caffeine is really strange… let’s just put it that way…

yeah it is lol
I was thinking of talking to my doctor about this bc I might have ADHD? But I don't want to try to diagnose myself or anything

I have ADD but not ADHD.

Yeah, sure

K, sorry it took me a while to get back to you. I don't really have the hyper active part, but I've discovered that if I don't have at least a bit of something with added sugar in it, I go crazy. I can't focus very well, it's hard, and when I try to focus it seems there's a million other things to do than the task at hand. I try cleaning my room, but oh look! There's a bottle of nail polish, that's much better than cleaning. And if I try to focus and don't have any added distractions, I get frustrated because I JUST CAN'T FREAKING FOCUS. Sometimes, when I find a task interesting, I may do it without any problems, but you can't get me to stop, and if you try too hard, we will have a large problem. And music helps me focus a million times better.
But caffeine does calm me down a bit, makes me a bit tired, though I don't drink it much because my mom won't let me.

sdkljfgksdjfgjkh dude if that isn't me then idk what is
and for me if things get too overwhelming and I absolutely can't focus on anything I start to get really depressed

Me too! It's just like
Welp
I can't focus
what the frick is wrong with me
depression ensues

I don't really fidget unless I get really really excited, then my leg starts bouncing and I can't stop moving at all. If I'm super tired and just generally depressed and unfocused, I'm usually really still but super tense

Lol I fidget even when I’m tired.

I've found I'm always moving in some constant way unless I'm tired, and other times I can barely hold still. It really depends on my emotions.

Yeah. And when I try to stand still or say still my body’s like HA NOPE! And I begin to fidget even more.

Yeah… I'm not much of a fidgeter unless I'm high or excited

oof
