Do you degenerates think that ADHD is a real problem? And if someone of you happen to have ADHD, has it made a negative effect in your life?

it's about being distracted, and while that doesn't sound like much, subjectively it feels like you've just been timewarped into the future without your realization or permission. By the time you realize you've been distracted, it's too late.

a more visceral feeling is when you try to focus, like in exams and such. ADHD really hits then, it's like someone creeping behind you, running their fingers up and down your back, whispering in your ear everything else you could be doing, and when you get used to that, licks your ear so you jump. You try to hit them or shoo them away, but you can't touch them, they just come back right away, putting sand down your pants so sitting still feels uncomfortable

i'm running multiple trains of thought at the same time, and if i try to focus on one, other locomotives come and hook away my cargo and passengers, so in the end my 1 train i tried to focus on splits up into many more again

I have ADHD and I usually can't focus on my thoughts long enough to write about them, even though I really want to because I love writing

How do you guys take control of your lives in that situation?, I'm trying so hard to do something about it but medics and medication is expensive, I just want to be a normal guy!

Oh wow a Pepe that's got brain retarded! What a surprise!

I hate that situation, I almost dropped out from school twice, have gotten mediocre grades all my life, dropped out from college because the same thing, got in a lot of trouble in my first job because I kept forgetting things they just asked me to do, and the list goes on and on...

Timewarp user here... i don't. i gave up. it kept interfering with my work, being told off for daydreaming (frozen in though) or getting a daily headache trying to focus by yelling FOCUS DO YOUR WORK in my head over and over
now i'm just a NEET with no expected future, allowing my ADHD to run wild. it's still chaotic in my brain, but it's at least enjoyable, always finding something new to explore

i did take Ritalin when i was younger for exams, but it's a hit-or-miss thing, depends on the person's body chemistry i guess?

Imagine trying to learn how to code by yourself, couldn't do it, and it's sad because I'm passionate about computers since I was a kid, do you get any success from what you do?

same, except i stayed in school long enough to get a diploma... not that it helped, though.
i was always branded as "creative" in school since I could solve the problems my classmates couldn't, that uplifted me quite a bit. Turns out, it's just because my thinking is so warped, it just never occurred anyone else. it's like a fish among monkeys- so proud he can swim better than anyone else, not realizing his job will need him to climb trees in the future

I have adhd. Kinda feels like this. Meds help a lot for treating adhd. Still kinda hard not to get warped into the future by being distracted doing some stupid bullshit. But I don't like the meds cause I feel like a different person on them.

Quit them a month or so ago and been doing okay. Really hard, but I'm trying hard to develop habits for myself to put my differently wired brain to good use. People with adhd can often do well with skills they passionate about because if you get distracted doing something you both like and pays your bills suddenly adhd is actually a great asset to have.

Except the part where i forget things immediately after someone tells me the thing because i was too busy having a conversation in my own head about the conversation I'm having with that person.

And also the part where i lose things that i was literally holding 30 seconds ago, but put down because distractions. (This happens like every day but im gunna marie kondo my place so everything has a place and purpose.)

I heard if you stop being a Nazi faggot your add will go away

Thanks, I'll maybe try it later if I don't forget about it.

People always labeled me as a very intelligent person, and I do believe it, the thing is that is hard to not feel dumb when you can't even concentrate on reading, I'm 22 now and I don't know what to do about it, might as well give up

If you want to live a normal life, prosper in your business, be self reliant, ADHD is a nightmare.

ADHD means weakened executive function and self-regulation. As I understand it, your prefrontal cortex shuts down when you activate the task-positive network. The harder you try , the more it shuts down . This is a brain defect. What this means is that any activity involving your own willpower is beyond your accomplishment. You need an external source of motivation to BEGIN to engage your faculties.

You can't handle problems. You are the problem that needs to be handled.

ADHD doesn't make you a degenerate. A degenerate has lost the mental, physical, and moral qualities that are normal and desirable. ADHD stunts you- prevents you from developing them in the first place.

Most people with ADHD have the same faculties as others, but they can't access them until motivation is added. I think this is why the Bible recommends beatings. And why the IEP crowd recommends frequent check-ins from the teacher to the student with ADHD.

I'm paying for neurofeedback to try to restructure the brain and give myself a shot at a good life, because I know that I have a lot to give but I can't get it out. And it is endlessly frustrating.

It's totally real, but never go on a medication without a plan to get off it.

Read things you like. It will help with when you have to read other things.

good luck user, hope it works out well for you!

god yes the "imagining a conversation while having said conversation" i sometimes (rarely) confuse myself what's actually been said and what i'm repeating twice

i'm 24 and i'm no better... if anything i feel my reading concentration has dropped lower. even things i'm interested in, i keep thinking about about the topic i'm reading about, so my eyes skim across the page, seeing without reading
i end up reading each line between 1 to 4 times. incredibly irritating...

Its sad to read this, and it saddens me more thinking that the treatment are expensive as fuck, im a low income man trying to improve in life without any success, I hope you can see a great improvement in the future user

i feel like all of us got distracted and wandered off. i opened up an isekai manga and got stuck on that for a bit lol

I would rather have adhd over depression anytime.

>Negative impact
Yes. Until I found weed, managed to get through 2 uni degrees with it. Not for everyone tho

wish i could try some weed... where i am, it's a serious crime...

Fuck that tbh. Adhd needs stimulants and cannabis can be quite addictive to people with adhd

A symptom of adhd is depression, but unlike depression (save for the rare cases of it) adhd is permanent, without cure, and generally viewed as a disease that isn't real.
Adhd is far more shitty than depression in that sense

Depends on the severity, how well your meds work and how much of a retard you are besides your adhd
Also you can learn with age to control it

It feels like someone ran a train on your anus, or is that just me?

No success at all, it's a private sort of thing

I know a kid who has it. It makes his life shit. He is unable to pay attention in class, to his parents, to other kids... He barely has no friends. Maybe he is happy af, but from the outside the little man looks trashed af.

If I were you, I would get diagnosed and all the medical care I could. If you live in place where this is hard or impossible, consider moving.

>ADHD
it doesn't exist
its just called
>a short attention span

Diagnosed with ADHD.
It has made plenty of negatives effects on my life.
But also just as many positive ones.

Really, I can live with myself and I'm having a good time.
It's others who have the problem.
Brains of ADHD people work differently.

It should not be an excuse for anything but also don't let it get you down.
Once people around you know about the condition and how it affects you and potentially them they too have an easier time dealing with the situation.

Yea you have no idea what you're talking about.

Because fuck Medicine, am I right? Libt*rds btfo.

I chuckled.
This one's going into my next pickup line.

Dietary changes helped me, look into Paleo and ADHD. YMMV.
