Oh, my friend, where do I start? There are so many struggles that these people have to deal with. Many good websites give a lot of information about ADHD and also tips about how to deal with it from the inside and a bystander perspective. What I can tell you about what it feels like to live with ADHD is from personal experience. One thing that is not often talked about is that ADHD almost always comes with an impossibly low self-image. This is caused by the failure to fit in a normal life pattern from childhood on. Also you always just know that you are different from others and because of previous failing experiences you instantly assume that you are the wrong one. Another thing that is not often mentioned is that while other people might have trouble understanding and dealing with ADHD behaviour at times, it is way harder to deal with and understand it yourself. you have low impulse-control so it is hard to regulate behaviour. That doesn't mean you are not aware of it. You are aware, you notice that you do not behave the way everyone else does, you assume you are wrong and want to change but also it is really hard to change. It is an internal struggle that is immense hard. it is very hard to be patient with yourself and to be kind to yourself.

there are lots of different symptoms of ADHD, some struggle with panic attacks and not knowing what they are doing could come across dangerous and felling they do not fit in. i have ADHD my self and its a daily struggle not knowing how this day is going to be like, some times i just have to think that every one is different and you can learn how to live with it as other people wont learn how to live like you do. even just listening more and not let others bring you down will help. a big one is think before you do. having a friendship group is great but make sure you have at least one friend that you you trust well so you can talk to them and feel comfortable.

I do not have ADHD myself, however I am close with a lot of people who do. I think one of the main challenges that comes with ADHD is the hyperactiviy part. One of my friends gets bullied at school because they think he is "weird" for being really hyper and expressive. He gets very excited when listening to music and lip synchs the lyrics as if he were at a concert. i find this very cute and I love him. However the other kids at my school think he is a freak and a weirdo. I think this is very unfair and just horrible because is it not something he can control. Some people are just plain mean. I think a very big struggle are the social obstacles they face due to their disorder.

People with ADHD face many struggles. They are disorganized in an orderly fashion. They are quite forgetful. You tell them to do something and they are off to do another. They will do the first thing after a while. We struggle with time getting things done on time due to the many projects we will start and don't finish. We don't usually take social cues very well. However we can be very bright and think outside the box. We can go from one idea to the next within a single thought process. From my experience we attract others like us.

Struggles people with ADHD suffer from include but are not limited to: Inability to remain still or seated for long periods of time. Often these people will fishy with their fingers, drum the table or their knee, and maybe tap their leg up and down. Talkative, especially in stressful situations. When stressed out, these people may become overly social, trying to avoid an awkward silence between them. Sometimes a person with ADHD will be unable to fall or stay asleep, as their brain is on hyperdrive and refuses to relax. Somethings one can do to alleviate these symptoms are: Learn relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises. Using a stress squeeze ball to fidget with instead of habits such as biting nails. Sketching in a notebook, even if just random shapes and squiggles, to keep from producing an annoying source of noise to those around them.

Lost of people with ADHD have trouble focusing, this is one of the main things. For example, some people with ADHD might talk a lot in certain situations. Another thing that ties into the issue with focusing is listening. For example, if a teacher is talking, a kid will not be listening and thinking about a completely different subject. This is why lots of kids with ADHD don't get great grades. Also, people with ADHD fidget a lot. This could be tapping, biting a pencil and other movements. This can be similar to anxiety. Lastly, making friends is a big one or just socializing in general. Most of the time they are awkward when talking to others or they have a hard time talking to them.

Myself and my son both have ADHD and although there are difficulties when it comes to coping with it, we learned to do it in a positive way. Learning positive coping skills is how we manage our ADHD on a daily basis. Some of our skills include: meditation, exercise, healthy diet, proper hygiene, and classical music! It takes time and a lot of patience but great rewards come from hard work!

Being misdiagnosed. Lots of them face dependency cause they were given drugs at such a young age. My 17 year old was told then he was 6 that he had ADHD but we never medicated him. He is doing great. About to graduate and become a marine. So why as soon as a child has a active imagination or an inability to listen does someone just toss pills at them? I'm not on any and I was told I had ADHD. You treat infection, and heartache you do not treat a personality. That's what I think people with ADHD face on a daily basis.
