Anyone here with Add/Adhd ?

Question

Does anyone else here have add/ahd ?

I hate my adhd .. ii feel like its ruining my life

i cant concentrate on school/homework and ive had

to sepnd and extra year in high school because of it

i also cant concentrate at work

i work at a grocery store, and ill always do stupid stuff

like forget to give people their bags, forget if they wanted

bags, forget how many they wanted, get confused easily,

or get mixed up with the money

for instance today, i gave some dude a 5 dollar bill, instead

of a 10 by mistake .. ive done that a few times, and the

customers have been understanding but today the dude

gave me h**l he started yelling, swearing, calling me stupid

confused and stunned .. which i kno i can be .. but its because

of the stupid adhd .. i hate it

i also dropped out of summer school, because i got in an argument

with my teacher, who began telling me how everyone else at my group managed to always get their work in on time, but i never could then he told me i was weak, and lazy and made too many excused i was so shocked, and upset that i jus left the course ..

i hate how i get told that im dumb and stuff, it really makes me hate myself .. i wish more people could understand

im sorry if i blabbered on too much lol, ii jus needed to get stuff off of my chest :P

Answer 1

You should try finding some kind of........... not even necessarily a therapist, but someone who could help you control it. And teach you little tricks to use at school and work, my brother had really bad add/adhd, it's way better now then it was before. He didn't do much either, I think talking about it helps a lot, especially to a professional, or someone who's gone through the same thing.

I strongly suggest looking for a counselor or a therapist in your area to, I'm sure you could even find some kind of add support group thingy.

In the meantime..dont let those idiots get to you. I'm sure you handle yourself great for what you have to deal with. good luck.

Are you on any meds?

Answer 2

Yes, I have ADD too and I'm 35.  I work as a cashier and make the same mistakes you do all the time.  I quit college when I started having children15 yrs ago and now that they're older I'm afraid to go back because I have such a hard time paying attention and remembering things. It's impossible for me to multitask. I'm on medication for Depression and Anxiety(due to life problems unrelated to add) and I would hate to be put on more medication.  I know I'm smart but I just don't know how to let it show.

Answer 3

I have ADD.

Yeah you sound like me. I know it's hard, but don't worry. Although today may feel like the worst day of your life, tomorrow could be the best, you just gotta get there.
