What struggles do people with ADHD face?

I am a person who is having ADHD despite being an adult and I won't say it really is a struggle but they are few things... - Usually, we tend to move around a lot. Even if we sit down, a body part will always move. For example, stomping your feet. - We usually can't focus in class - We would interrupt people to speak something or else we'll forget. Also, no one can interrupt us or else we will forget easily - Depression - Mixed Emotions - Sexual Desire - Being bullied/teased by other people due to the fact that they are different There's more of it but I can't seem to remember most of it. By the way, live up to it. I have ADHD and I'm so proud of it that I tell everyone about it and also, I don't take any meds for it.

As a person with ADHD it just distracts me throughout the day, sometimes I can't hold a conversation sometimes because of it. Sometimes I stare off into space and forget that I'm talking to someone and that makes people think I don't want to listen to what they're saying and that causes problems. Sometimes it's hard to cope with ADHD but you get used to it and learn to work with it.

People with ADHD are usually very creative, intelligent, and intuitive. However, they do struggle in other areas due to the fact that this is a neurological disorder. Their brain is typically moving at a fast rate, so they have trouble thinking before they speak. This can cause issues in their relationships and many misunderstandings. They also tend to have issues with authority for these same reasons. Being forgetful is another struggle since they have so much going on in their mind at once. Due to all of these "open tabs" in the brain, they also have trouble focusing. All of these things combined, in many cases, causes other issue such as anxiety and depression.

Everyone who has adhd has a different experience. For the purpose of this question I’ll talk about mine. First thing that is hard is not even the adhd itself but the people around you. People have trouble understanding what having adhd means. People assume that adhd can somehow magically be turned of if they tell you to sit still or focus enough times. It doesn’t work like that, it is completely out of our control. I mean the other stuff like being hyper and unfocused is hard to deal with but it is harder when the people around you don’t get it.

Not being able to understand as other do, can’t focus. It just all around sucks! Makes you feel stupid.

As a person with ADHD I can share what I struggle with. â—Ž[▪‿▪]â—Ž Oftentimes focus can be a struggle, sometimes it’ll be hard or impossible to focus and your mind just wanders elsewhere. At times people with ADHD go into hyperfocus and are extremely absorbed in one thing that it’s hard to divert from that. Forgetfulness is one thing too, along with being extremely disorganized. Some people with ADHD also have a hard time sitting still and will act on impulse. Hopefully that helps!? ≧◡≦

Hi! I am a teen that struggles with ADHD. if you don't know what it is it is a chronic condition marked by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and sometimes impulsivity. For me at least it's hard to stay focused for a certain period of time. I also cant sit or stand still. Another problem I deal with is anxiety, so you can only imagine what I feel like 24/7. People with ADHD try their best to stay focused, but when your mind is think 1,000,000 things at once you just can't focus.

For me, I find it really hard to concentrate on something that doesn't take my interest while on the other hand if something does interest me, I'll pretty much hyper focus on it. I tend to be impulsive, saying or doing things which I regret shortly after; I get overwhelmed, especially in big and busy crowds or when I simply have a lot of things on the agenda. I used to get really aggressive when I got pissed off, which went hand in hand with being impulsive, although this did calm down when getting older. I have a hard time remembering things, I forget a LOT, find it difficult to plan things and have the tendency to delay important tasks.

For me, it’s a lot of brain fog that causes me to feel “stuck” and unmotivated. I lose things frequently, especially my keys and phone. It causes a lot of absent-mindedness, difficulty sleeping, fidgeting, struggles with listening and focusing, and impulsiveness. I struggle to keep my mouth shut and not blurt out when I’m excited about something. It’s taken a lot of discipline and organizational strategies to improve and I still have bad days where I struggle to focus and be productive.
