What struggles do people with ADHD face?

It it honestly depends on the person. Both my brother and I have ADHD but in some ways are very different. I struggle with concentration, you could be talking to me about something and i would listen for a few seconds but literally forget to listen any more. I can't sit still, i forget things very easy, I can be very unorganized, I also have hyperactivity and hyper focus. On the contrary, my brother has constant mood swings, he talks a lot, literally always has to be doing something with his hands, and cannot ever sit down. We also both suffer with night terrors, his more often and severe than mine. So again, it really just depends on the situation. Hope this helps :)

When people with ADHD see themselves as undependable, they begin to doubt their talents and feel the shame of being unreliable.

People with ADHD like myself struggle with constantly moving, slower mental, emotional, and intellectual maturity. A way to help with it is by a cheesy as it sounds is meditation, if anyone wants some tips then just message me, but it really does help me stay in control of my outbursts.

I have ADHD inattentive type, and personally, my biggest struggle is completing tasks. I love to write, but I've only ever finished a handful of stories because I get distracted and never go back and finish it. Over the years in school, there have hundreds of homework assignments I never turned in because I never finished them. I also have a big problem with losing focus mid-conversation. I always have to ask people to repeat themselves, so most people think I'm either rude or have hearing problems. It's really frustrating, because people always tell me how smart I am, but I don't really feel smart. I feel like I'm trapped in an invisible box, and when the box stops me from really participating, everyone just yells at me for screwing all the time. When I try to tell them about the box, they tell me it isn't real and that I just need to try harder.

It's different for everyone. I, personally, have a lot of trouble focusing. I have trouble staying still. I fidget a lot. I can't do one thing at a time. I have trouble finishing whatever I'm working on.

People with ADHD can struggle with some of the following side effect s through life, lack of concentration, fidgeting, bursts of over excitement that can lead to irrational thinking and in some cases temper problems

to say someone with ADHD cannot focus is far fetched and true at the same time, It depends where they are exerting their energy and what does and does not interest them. People with ADHD need to be stimulated in a certain way, as opposed to things like sitting in a classroom all day with other students may cause them to loose interest and focus. People with ADHD also may feel different and more detached from other peoples interest and activities in the world. There are many ways to manage and control symptoms, but this usually starts with a Doctor or professional help with someone who specializes with the disorder.

ADHD typically has 3 main symptoms -- inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsive tendencies. a person with adhd can have any combination of those main symptoms. more specific traits are, for inattentiveness: being forgetful, difficulty focusing/staying on task even for interesting subjects, executive dysfunction, doesn't seem to listen even if directly spoken to, "spaces out" frequently. for hyperactivity: trouble sitting still, fidgeting, has urges to run/climb in inappropriate settings, talks over others, can't wait their turn. lastly, impulsive tendencies: takes risks, trouble making good choices, interruptive. these symptoms make it very tough to function, especially in school or work. it's a serious problem which is more than just being hyper or lazy. talk to your doctor if you think you experience a lot of these symptoms.

Judgment is a huge struggle people with ADHD Face. if you have ADHD your brain is not neurotypical. Yet so many people think that it's just an excuse. People with ADHD just need discipline. They need a firm hand when being dealt with. No ADHD is not something that can be disciplined out of a person. i parent a child with ADHD and no amount of discipline can get him to focus when he's in the attention deficit phase of his condition. There's also struggles with fitting in when your brain doesn't quite work the same as others or you need the stimulation of activity to help you gain focus. it's tough having an invisible condition that still not a lot of people understand. if only people were sensitive and took time to understand the brain of someone with ADHD because we are awesome people. :)

Focusing on anything at all is a struggle. It makes learning very difficult and challenging. It's like constantly being distracted. It takes a lot of focus to pay attention and even when I do I am thinking about other things half of the time. My mind is constantly running on a treadmill of sorts. I can almost never focus solely on one thing. Having ADHD is like constantly multitasking for no reason. It makes it easier to get stressed because it is easy to get distracted and behind. Personally I struggle to keep my mind under control, I am constantly thinking about more than one thing.
