I have adhd, I get hyper and I often dont think about what Im saying and doing, no one acts mad at me but I always think about it and now I just feel like a horrible person, and then this has made me feel sad a lot so I just dont feel like doing anything and I believe Im going through a depressive phase and I havent been very enthusiastic with people, the friends that go to different schools Ive been drifting away from. I dont believe anyone is actually mad at me but I still feel like I bother them and I dont know what to do, it feels like life is just gonna be too hard and that no matter what I do Im not going to be able to do well, Im just destined for failure. I dont want to live anymore but I dont know how to leave my friends and family because these are people that even though Im a horrible person they dont hate me. Im just stuck in this place that Im too tired to move from but if I dont move Im gonna have a horrible life, and I dont know how to talk to anyone about my feelings cause theyre just gonna say thats not going to happen and just saying that doesnt help.

Do you sometimes have this feeling that you might have something, but then you think that you also may be wrong, then imagining how strongly and more awful the person actually having it may feel, but you'll never know for sure because we can't fully compare feelings and make an objective statement, so it's just ending with trying to exist as no thoughts even happened?
And it is so hard, because I feel like I can relate to everything in this video, but also I have these memories from the past of people and doctors saying to me that I'm overreacting, oversensitive or making things up, so I'm just assuming that some others has been through worse and my feelings are not important at this point, but it is also so hard that I don't know how to exist enymore and it's getting so much harder. I feel like in the constant loop fueled by ptsd and reckless hope.
Sigh.

I think at 39 I have adhd. I've been suffering internally since I was a child and nothing changes. Pay your bills? Nope, only when they threaten you with court. Remember birthdays? Nope, only when your sister thinks you don't love her because you never remember her birthday, even after 27 of them. Relationships? What are they again? I shut people out to avoid shame a long time ago. My landlady is selling the place, I have to arrange storage etc. Will I do any of it? No. Instead I'm going to sit here worrying until it makes me ill, probably just losing all my property, anything but address it. Worst part I've realised too late. I don't believe at 39 you can start from scratch. I feel like my life has been wasted, I'm absolutely gutted.

Ive always asked my mother to help me because I feel as if there is something else there (ADHD. My mom always dismisses it saying, oh its just your anxiety and depression. I know fully well that it isnt but I cant express that because then she would say Oh well when I was a kid or You dont act very impulsive, your dad also always moves his leg. That isnt even the case with me though it isnt only that. I am my own person and Im not like my mom. My brother has autism and ADHD but apparently I need to act like a hyperactive idiot to get diagnosed - Not meaning to be offensive
Im now finally asking my therapist to talk to my mom about it and thats exactly what she did, Im now diagnosed and I can rub it in my mothers face: D

Im a teenager, i feel like im showing a few symptons especially because i literally cannot stick to routines(i forget to brush my teeth and have alarms for that which event that i forget) and have lost like 4 of my bike keys and terrible attention span and im a huge procastinator. I dont wanna jump to conclusions, it could be something else or idk but i feel like my parents wouldnt take it seriously and not even bother to try and get me a diagnose. Probably cause im just good at school, idk how ive done it but i do manage my grades well which is why i feel like they wont take it seriously.

I wish I was diagnosed earlier, life before Im 14 was miserable, my mom doesnt know why Im eating so slow and keep forgetting to do my assignments. My mom when mad yells at me with a very loud noise which make me scared. She keep doing this until Im 13 and feel nothing about her complain. Moreover, I yelled at her back. I feel like my mom is an abusive mother even though its me who has inattentive adhd. After I was diagnosed with it, my mom treats me like Im another person. I cant help but feels like she is faking due to how she treated me in the past. If only I was diagnosed sooner.

I've recently been on the edge about having ADHD like my brother (except mine is probably undiagnosed) but it's very hard for me to come to a conclusion. even if I did well in school for majority of my life, it was almost never without me having to submit something late. in more recent times, I've been having a lower self-esteem more easily. it was also hard for me to make friends growing up and I kept as much things to myself as possible. im also known as the clumsy one at home. I may be overthinking about it tho and I'll try to get a diagnosis when I can afford to do so myself

I've been suspecting I might have ADHD for a while now (so does my therapist) and have put a lot of thought into it. I think I have a pretty good case of having it according to all the evidence unfortunately I don't think I can tell my parents as they will just shut me down thinking it's all in my head or something and that they know me more than myself. I have tried suggesting or sliding in that I might have something like that but, as I predicted, they shut me down so I don't want to bother trying to make my full case to them.

I was just diagnosed yesterday at 22 it was very relevant in my childhood. I started to suspect something was wrong with me after my 18th birthday, I received all of my childhood documents including report cards. every teacher said I needed to apply myself and put pride into my work it breaks my heart that I went my entire school experience without a diagnosis, medicine, extra time on assignments, any help at all. When I look back in perspective it is very obvious that I needed help.

I have symptoms of adhd like forgetfulness, low self esteem, clumsiness, etc. I hv not focused on that so much but these symptoms have affected my living like I am always depressed that I am the worst person to ever exist cuz I don't do school work properly. I want to talk to my mom but I'm scared cuz I live in an Indian household and they will not care much about it. I just want to know if I have adhd or not cuz I am a very clueless person and tips to get over it

I have ADHD but can't tell if I might be going through depression too because some of the symptoms are really similar in my way. I also want to know if depression can be like someone flipping a light switch off and on? I ask that question because at times I get really sad and fell like I didn't deserve to be here or get sad for no reason but then I am not sad anymore and care on with my day. I need more of an understanding of it.

I know I have ADHD but Im probably never going to get diagnosed because I dont want them to offer me the medication that makes me calmer. Lol sorry, not the best at explanation. I know there were some people who are fine with it and I am not going after or shaming the people who take it. I just rather not take medication and I would hate saying no to the doctors if they prescribe it.

Omg. This is describes me. My dad refuses to believe that I might have ADHD when there is obvious signs and proof. Even when someone with experience and the knowledge said it was possible, he completely ignored it. Like he says I don't have mental issues when I know I do. From what I have researched I might have Depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and an extremely small cause of autism.

My parents have taken me in for anxiety and depression but never adhd. I have always been super distractable and never focused, which has led to constant verbal abuse, making my anxiety and depression worse. I doubt they will ever take me in for adhd, or even care, but I checked off all the boxes and its (kind of) nice to know I'm not alone and this isn't bp or any other disorder.

I used to figit in elementary, and teachers would reprimand me for things I was unaware of, and my social queues, like smiling at inappropriate times or blurring out answers because of excitement. I can't sit still, I can't stop talking, and I couldn't move when I wanted too, or talk when I wanted too, my tramua from school makes me wish I was born at a different time.

I had shown symptoms of adhd since I'm a child but my parents never thought much about mental issues. For them they didn't really seem to be interested and all they cared for was themselves. I was struggling cause of bullying since I was a child and now I'm in my early twenties struggling with anxiety and probably adhd which was never diagnosed before

Lately I have felt that I have ADD (I read it is considered ADHD) and I have no idea how to go about trying to get a diagnosis. I told my mom about it and she was like haha yeah I think I have a little bit too it just felt like she didn't understand that I was being serious or that she didn't understand I was wanting her thoughts.

look at all these comments. you realise your main demographic is young teens and kids who can't differentiate between causation and correlation, don't you. do you feel proud of yourself? how long are you going to milk neurodivergent symptoms to confuse teens into their own insecurities?

I've gotten pills for my adhd as a kid(diagnosed) and it didn't make a difference so my mom didn't want me to take pills for it anymore.
She has it too but, often forgets I have adhd as well as my family and they get angry with me a lot
Not sure what I should do at this point

My parents took me in to take a ADHD test during my 7th Grade Yr. My doctor didn't find anything so my parents assumed I didn't have it. The word undiagnosed to me means a patient's disorder test fails ( Get tested but results come out negative ) but they still show symptoms.
