Is the last entry in here really from March of last year. I was hoping to find this thriving community of ADDers who could help me figure out how to manage my time better. I'm struggling. I was recently diagnosed which is a HUGE relief but life is i…
WOW! Thanks for EVERY post in this thread. They all remind me that I have a lot of twins out there!
: )
We have too much in common.
But wow, we get verbally abused a lot don't we?
Candice - I've always been good at spelling but I think misspelling is a common trait of ADHD. I was always a perfectionist about communication because of my overcompensation with the vocal/verbal word. I, too, was loud. "Loudmouth Ley" was my nickn…
Reading what everyone has written on this sight is like reading my ownthoughts. I have grown up not knowing I had adhd. I lookback and wonder how no one could have seen it! I'm a combined adhd it is very obvious. I always loved people say"You are so…
- Act normal! (my parents)
- Not a hundred psychologists in the world could make you normal (my father -> he apologized for it...)
- Taking pills is weak (my mother)
- You don't have ADHD, you are not hyperactive (a lot of people) (I tell them that…
Jo - Thank you for putting things so eloquent and balanced. You don't sound conceited at all but self-confidence, something I know I lack. I, too, have always been awkward and so relate to comments about appearing irritating to others and not recogn…
Reading through the variety of comments, I identified with each one so strongly that it was as if I was putting my own thoughts down. I am not adept at being able to recognize how I come accross to people and actually can disillusion myself to belie…
You don't listen
You don't care
Just let go
Relax!
You are too hard, where is your soft side
You have anger problems
You energy is - spitfire, shown visually
You don't get it
What's wrong with you, you've never been in a relationship
Just try harder…
Are you paying attention (grandma)
if you'd use your head for something besides a hat rack ( grandma)
if you had a brain, you'd be dangerous ( My father)
you don't apply yourself (teachers)
your late( work)
unprepared again..(teachers)
this is…
I hate it when people tell me ADHD is an excuse for being lazy or not getting things done. My father says my ADHD is an excuse, too. Because he has it, and he has ways of dealing with it and working with it, he automatically assumes I can do it too.…
I think people will say these things when they're uncomfortable and/or don't know what to say or maybe they're in total denial because this ADHD thing is just too big for them to deal with. Then they have to look at themselves and see if they have i…
"You just don't care." (My mom)
"ADHD is just an excuse." (My dad)
"You're just a little insecure." (my sister)
"You just want people to feel sorry for you" (my brother)
"There's nothing wrong with you The doctors are wrong!" (My bro-in-law)
Monique - I've heard some of those a lot. Sensitive, loud (I wasn't called Loudmouth Ley for nothing!), too hard on myself, perfectionistic. I have often wanted to be someone else. I think that's a common desire among us.
I hear most of those and:
-You are so mean (that's everyone)
-You say whatever you think whether pple like it or not (my Dad)
-You can be so blunt (everyone)
-You are your worst enemy (everyone)
-Your too harsh on yourself (everyone)
-You can't alwa…
