I noticed something was wrong when I was 12 and have been struggling with this for the past 20 years now, even tried taking my life when I was 18 because of how overwhelming my life had become. Comments from people who have experienced and had a similar life is so comforting because it makes me feel like there’s hope and I’m not completely alone in the world like I have been feeling all this time. Minimum wage job, run down apartment, no car or license and multiple failed relationships has made me feel completely broken and abnormal but now for the first time I know what’s been at the root of all this

I honestly believe I have it. I thought I was bipolar. But ADHD explains me to a t. I haven't been diagnosed and I don't take anything for it. I'm all over the place. My life is in shambles. I can't handled my emotions. But if I'm interested in it I'm a bad ass professional like sports and exercise. But if I'm not interested in it or if it bores me I can't freaking do it. I find myself lost in my thoughts everyday it won't stop. I'm hyper I have way to much energy. My whole life I've been the Energizer bunny. I did horrible in school except the classes I was interested in. I'm 34 and definitely not where I'm supposed to be in life. I don't understand man

Definitely a curse. It has not done me any good. I must be a really nice person, because people around me constantly have to deal with me being unreliable, inconsiderate, forgetful, or late. I personally would struggle to be friends with that.

Race cars move in one direction - this is more like fireworks. It is true that one can get better at staying in front of a task, but that doesn't help you bite in it, other than that it gives you more opportunity. The biting alone is too far and few between for a productive career, and I consider it my passion because when it finally happens, I LOVE it.

From what I’ve seen Dr. Barkley would never say ADHD can become an asset. Mitigated, yes. An asset, no.

This reminds me to be kind to myself. I did the best I knew. Diagnosed at 37. Lots of regret. Jobs I just left cause I was “bored”! The addict phase and almost losing my life to coke and others. The always switching career paths. The mood swings. The struggle to do routine tasks. The random spending. Random liking people. Wasted opportunities. It took me forever to fill out a scholarship form. By the time i was done, it was too late. Then I told myself didn't want it to start with. ADHD seems more likes curse with occasional bursts of miracles. Many times I wish I was as ordinary as possible and be without ADHD. Just to go through life without having to live in my brain as well. Without having to constantly evaluate if I'm meeting up with what is expected of a “normal” person

adhd is not an asset. it is straight up insulting that he dares to call this horrible and useless mental dissability an "asset". Also he says "go see an specialist" yeah like that was something that i can access for free... i need money to get help, i need a job to get money, i need my brain to NOT HAVE ADHD in order to get a job. If u want to help people with adhd just go help them when they are young, because when they get older like me it is already over. Also people don't have to feel bad aboud suicide, there is no one in this world that has more authority over YOUR LIFE than youtself. People will complain and argue about commiting suicide but they won't help you, don't listen to them, do what your heart tells you. For the majority of us, life is just not worth living with ADHD... and this is an undeniable fact.

As a 34 who probably has inattactive ADHD... it will ruin your fucking life... I'm at a downward spiral my whole life but the last 4 years were especially hard and JUST NOW did I come to the realisation that I might have ADHD... one of the mandatory tests even says that I have severe ADHD... my psychologist asked me how I even function... my whole fucking life I thought that everybody has 300 voices in his or her head who constantly nag on you and that I just need to pull myself together and stop being so pathetic... again... I'm still undiagnosed but it just fits to well.

This is true. I lost almost 10 years of life due to ADHD. Time blindness made me warp through time. Narcissistic mental abuse from parents made it worse throughout my life and in my 20s I became sick and made mistakes in life that made more problems.

What is being said here is not complimentary to what Dr. Russell Berkeley says. He’s crystal clear: ADHD is not an asset. When people are successful with adhd, they’re successful in spite of their adhd, not because of it. Let’s be honest about that. There’s very little agreement here.

For someone who actually has been diagnosed ADHD and refuses to take medication for it I can honestly say it's so annoying that most people think they have ADHD and "just don't take medicine for it " . When you actually have it and don't take meds for it your life especially when it comes to work and love life is so difficult. Learning new things at work just seem like a blur and your co workers thinking your stupid and slow and then you forget things easily. I wish there was a way to treat this disorder without medicine . I feel all yalls pain..

I was told to be "a ferrari inside garage, without nobody having the key to drive it" and "high sensitive way of one out of 2Millions"; 24 years ago by the doctors,....now at 43years old am doing research about this online,...think i got ADHD quite hardcore way even! I love it cause i am never bored, but not the fact that others are agressive on me! (Maybe they think i can read inside their brain in some way, well but even if so, it does not matter for me cause iam used to, but many feel ashamed about and so try to push me down!)
