ADHD , stories?

Anyone suffer from this? I think I might have it (without the hyperactive ...some call it ADD?) ... it's all very confusing. Some stories from people would be nice...

I have ADHD and like Ab intra says, I had problems at school/college with it due to lack of concerntration and hyperactivity. I also had a real short fuse, get tierd because for me to do an essay or something I needed to put in twice the work which then in turn the tierdness made it harder for me to work and it's also a very frustrating disorder and as it can also affect mood and anger and makes it hard to express what your feeling. I actually suffer from the spectrum of ADHD,Dyspraxia and then also dyslexic tendencies.

I found golf helped me (sounds funny I know but my school suggested it) and it kinda trained my concerntration and patientce. Likelyhood is if you do have ADD though hun, is that you've grown up with it undiagnoised which means you've found your own ways to deal with it and so unless its causing major probs now they probably won't treat it with medication.

hope some of this helped.



Life can be beautiful if you let it.
Step back, breathe and take it in

Hey I have ADHD and went through high school with help. Now I am in college and am massively struggling. However, I am currently conducting research and writing a paper on the subject, which is helping me learn more about myself and my behavior.

To get technical, there are several sub-types of ADHD.

ADHD -- Inattentive type is defined by an individual experiencing at least six of the following characteristics:
  1. Fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes
  2. Has difficulty sustaining attention
  3. Does not appear to listen
  4. Struggles to follow through on instructions
  5. Has difficulty with organization
  6. Avoids or dislikes requiring sustained mental effort
  7. Often loses things necessary for tasks
  8. Is easily distracted
  9. Is forgetful in daily activities
ADHD -- Hyperactive/Impulsive type is defined by an individual experiencing six of the following characteristics:
  1. Fidgets with hands or feet or squirms in seat
  2. Has difficulty remaining seated
  3. Runs about or climbs excessively (in adults may be limited to subjective feelings of restlessness)
  4. Has difficulty engaging in activities quietly
  5. Talks excessively
  6. Blurts out answers before question have been completed
  7. Has difficulty waiting in turn taking situations
  8. Interrupts or intrudes upon others
ADHD -- Combined type is defined by an individual meeting both sets of attention and hyperactive/impulsive criteria.

ADHD -- Not otherwise specified is defined by an individual who demonstrates some characteristics but an insufficient number of symptoms to reach a full diagnosis. These symptoms, however, disrupt everyday life.

Adults often try and shape their lifestyles to compensate their abilities by seeking jobs in fields that: do not require long periods of focused attention, allow them the freedom to move about, do not require close attention to detail, etc. In adults, there are greater problems with stress, which lead to greater expressed emotions.

Other psychiatric disorders, known as comorbidity, are also found in ADHD patients. Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Conduct Disorder, and Learning Disorders can confuse the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. These disorders display similar characteristics and can be negatively influenced if the patient is treated for disorders they do not have.
