I have no concentration, I can get super restless and also super exciteable at times. In these moments I feel stuck in my head, like I am watching a film, and I cringe at what I am doing albeit have little control over it. I can't help being so exciteable all the time. I feel as I have gotten older my ADHD is a lot more manageable than when I was a kid and teen. It is still a part of my life and I have good and bad days. I couldn't even tell you the last time I managed to sit through a whole film.

Not enough people understand that the world is vastly under-stimulating to those with ADHD. In order to pay better attention, sometimes I have to do something else. This makes Zoom calls rough because there's this perception of appearing rude if you're not 100% focused on the screen. But sitting still erodes my ability to listen attentively. As long as I can snack, fidget or do anything else that helps occupy my senses, my mind is free to zero in on the conversation. I need a minimum level of stimulation otherwise trying to accomplish anything takes so much more effort.

People with ADHD face many struggles, but it varies from each person. One of the big struggles a lot of people with ADHD face is time management. From my personal experience it is very hard to just do one thing, Im either doing nothing or Im doing everything, and it is very hard. People with ADHD often face struggles in school, but not always, sometime ADHD presents itself in the stereotypes that people have made of the disorder. Some people are very energetic, loud, restless, while others are quiet, reserved, ect, it varies between each person but because ADHD presents itself so differently in every person that leads to misdiagnoses and that makes it very hard for a person with ADHD to know.
