I work with adults with ADHD who are frustrated with their life and are ready to create the life they desire.

Do You Ever Feel Like Shouting, “I Hate Having ADHD!”

Do you ever have a day or event that slaps you right in the face with your ADHD? You have gone to the airport, but left your suitcase at home. You showed up at court for a speeding ticket, but went on the wrong day. You didn’t change your clothes before starting on a craft project and now have ruined your good clothing.

“Why, oh why,” you cry “do I have to be impulsive, distractible, hyperactive? ” An occasional feeling like this is normal and to be expected, but if ADHD traits are getting you down day in and day out, something needs to be done.

How do you create the silver linings in your clouds? How do you change your behaviors so that your sadness about having ADHD and your belief that it is really holding you back rarely enter your mind. What changes can you make in your life so that the positives far out weigh the negatives? Coaches work with ADHD clients on issues such as these.

    Yes, I do hate having ADHD. It would be nice to have fiends, do well a job, and in general not feel like a freak.

    This is more truth than I could ever express. I hear you.

    Yes i do, I hate it. none of my friends or family will ever be able to really understand what it is to live with it. School is 10 times harder, i can make friends easily but keeping them is very difficult. I hate feeling like a freak at school. People don’t know the real me and i believe that most of them would be truly amazed if they actually had to live with it for a day. NO ONE I KNOW GETS IT I REALLY WISH THEY DID. PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ME…..IF U STUCK ME IN A ROOM WITH JUST ONE PERSON AFTER THEY GET TO KNOW THE REAL ME I KNOW THEY WOULD LIKE ME.

    Yes! I hate it so much. I’m so clumsy even when I try not to be. I tend to say the wrong thing at the worst time. I feel alone even in a room full of people. I’m a perfetionist AND a procrastinator all at once. If I try to explain what it’s like, everyone just takes it as a joke and says I just wanna make up excuses and I’m lazy. At school my teachers get impatient with me. If something requires a lot of mental effort, it’s like after a certain nuber of attempts my brain flips the concentration switch to off. People think I just don’t care when I’m never able to pay attention. I’m 17 and I feel like I completely destroyed my gpa and I’m not even sure if I’ll graduate. It’s like I’m a little hamster lying on the ground in my cage. Life is the wheel which keeps going whether I’m on it or not. But this adhd is like a hand that’s got me pinned down. No matter how much I fight it, it’s always gonna be stronger than me. It sucks so bad.

    My mom had it. My dad had it. My ex-wife has it. My current wife has it. My son has it and two of my daughters have it. My son and I are diagnosed. The rest not. Medication and visualization work wonders.

Got something to say?
