Overall this is a great lineup! I know it's just a joke, but I hugely disagree with the person who said you can't have ADHD and depression. A lot of us (esp those who were diagnosed later in life) went through a significant amount of depression and anxiety along the way. It's super demoralizing and crushes your self esteem when you struggle with things that seem so easy to everyone else. You feel like a massive failure and it's hard not to internalize it. Also hard when you spend your whole life masking and realize you have no idea who you are.

I've read that the reason people with ADD/ADHD answer your bad news with an anecdote of their own is that they are conveying to you that they empathize and understand what you're going through. As someone with ADHD for over 50 years, I can confirm that - at least in some cases - that is true. I'm not trying to "one-up" you, I'm trying to communicate that you're not alone. So, the next time a friend whom you suspect is attention deficit and/or hyperactive does this to you, please understand it's your friend's way of hugging you and guiding you through what's happening.

[@babesmoneyja]

This is me. I've legitimately tried to stop, but I'm always talking about a similar experience I've had when someone shares with me. I'm just trying to show I relate to the emotions in the scenario and im listening to you. I trrrrryyyyy so hard not to do it.

I think there is a difference between trying to relate vs someone who legit is trying to tell you your pain isn’t as bad as this or that(which has happened to me multiple times with toxic people.) and some people totally understand me when I am trying to relate (key with it is to truly express emotion when they share their experiences ) and try to make a note for future in your head to be sensitive about it with them. But some people don’t want to hear anything about you they just need someone to listen.. and that can be very challenging.

[@roddo1955]

Everybody's experience is different with this condition. Just because I feel like a failure all the time doesn't mean that someone else with the same condition can have a completely different experience with it due to nature, nurture and circumstance. I cannot expect the world to always take me into consideration. When I feel a way and tell people how I feel about how ADHD affects my life, I don't say:'but then again; a lot of people with ADHD are perfectly happy'. Because I am talking about MY experience and people should not expect that I take their experiences into consideration over mine to make them feel heard. A mistake I used to make in my life, expecting people to do the same for me. 🤣. So now I think; I'll take care of my needs, first. That way I stay 'strong' and create enough space in my head to be able to cater to others needs without neglecting my own.

[@emilymeyers6069]

Why

[@missg.5940]

Are you adhd or add. Girls are frequently under diagnosed because they lack the hyperactivity. I have a theory the depression occurs due to having to deal with the daily stress caused by the add.

[@harperslee2788]

Some things that need to be corrected: The Hyperactivity (H) in ADHD stands not for a physically hyper-ness in a person, but rather a hyper-impulsive mind. Meaning I’m more likely to act on my impulses and have a lot of them. Attention Deficit (AD) is another issue in the name. We do not suffer from a lack of attention, but rather a heightened attentiveness to everything around us. Our brain doesn’t end up observing the boring stuff like math or the boss’ vacation story. Sometimes our brain picks and chooses what it wants to hear leading to memory issues and learning disabilities. Also, depression is more often than not comorbid(simultaneously present), because people with ADHD have a very low serotonin levels. We are more prone to being addicted to substances and foods and activities that spike our happiness chemical (certain drugs/chocolate/hyper fixation hobbies), and are more susceptible to nicotine and caffeine addiction because the stimulant has the same soothing effects as adderall and Ritalin. (Also, unrelated but equally important, just because you’re organized doesn’t mean you have OCD. Obsessive-compulsive disorder refers to having an obsessive *thought* and a compulsive *action* associated with the though. (i.e. thought: “if you don’t check the stove now your house will burn down”, action: checks the stove. Thought: “hey I know you think you checked the stove but do it again or you’ll die”, action: checks stove again. Repeat.))

@@JaxLittles , Rural/suburban Texas, and this was far from "the school's" advice. The teacher only felt comfortable being so candid because he and my dad knew each other. There is what people think, and what they are willing to say. It was actually a very good school overall. And as far as comparing Texas to other places like California, I went to three different college/universities in Texas and never felt like I needed to be careful what I said in order to keep from getting in trouble or to appease the prof. I just had to be able to back up any assertions. Classes were full of open, respectful, and diverse debate, and people were able to hold open-air debates on very controversial issues. For instance, I minored in Religious Studies (ie. Religions in general, not Christianity) and I shared classes with Hindu, Shia Islam, Jewish, Catholic, Asatru Pagan, and literal card-carrying Marxist atheist students. We had great and always very respectful and open discussions. I finished in 2014. I don't know what those same schools are like these days, but I'd be willing to bet they're still better than most concerning the free and respectful exchange of ideas.

(46 years old, never took any meds) I was only bad in English/Literature because I found it boring., and couldn't focus. If you have A.D.D., and like something, you actually hyper focus on it, and the opposite with things you don't like.

I knew there was something wrong with me my whole life, and couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Mostly because the stereotypes of a hyperactive kid didn’t fit me. No one told me about the procrastination, insomnia, anxiety, executive dysfunction, adhd paralysis, date and time issues, etc. Eff this shizz!

Sorry to hear that. I’m only getting medication now at 22 and I’m still upset I didn’t have it a decade sooner. Just like you I “knew there was something wrong with me” and didn’t know what. Because so few people, even many who know they have add/adhd, have no idea themselves what the condition really is. Anyone who could really comprehend it would never call it a “superpower” or discourage meds. But on the bright side, better now then never. I hope this discovery serves you well

The last guy at the very end described the biggest struggle with getting diagnosed with ADHD, especially for girls. It's called twice exceptional. You have a learning disability or disorder as well as a high IQ or extremely gifted. Also, you can absolutely be depressed with ADHD. Going through life feeling like something is wrong with you because people just don't understand why you can't remember, be on time, hand in assignments, complete a task (without music or stimming), actually cross everything off your to do list, etc. When you go through life with the shame associated with all these executive functioning deficits, it quickly turns into depression and anxiety. You may think or say something funny, laugh a bit, make others laugh, but it doesmt change the soul crushing nature of untreated ADHD. I'm still in the diagnostic phase at 22, and originally went in for an ASD assessment, but my psych notice the ADHD and has been testing for that too. I'm so excited to finally be medicated, hopefully before the end of the year so I can do more than one assignment for my tafe course per every three months.

[@qp4904]

Giftedness is not comorbid with ADHD. They are separate things. Most ADHD people are not gifted. Giftedness would likely be a higher % in the ADHD population but that may mean that 8% of ADHDers are gifted, not the majority. 2E or Twice Exceptional is any person who is gifted and has a disability such as ADHD, autism or dyslexia.

[@gerilynne1955]

Hilarious! It's called Tommy needs a spanking. Yep, it's unfortunate it was handled that way. But it was. They just thought the kids were brats or spoiled back in the 50's. In the 60's and early 70's it was called hyper. It wasn't until more in the 90's that they finally realized it was really something that was considered a learning disability. But if you don't laugh at things, you'll make yourself sick.

[@magoollaful]

@@gerilynne1955 It's a teaching disability. Although most people process incoming information in the standard methods commonly used, some (quite a few, in fact) do not. That is not a disability of the learner, it's a deficit in the standard mode of delivery. When a child is criticized for not performing as presumed capable of and expected, or is seen as intelligent - but lazy or defiant, then labeled as disordered, disabled, or disturbed starting from a very young age - they suffer. Often they do develop emotional problems too, not just from those experiences, but from the their own frustrations, self-condemnation, feeling "different" from their peers, and the insecurity, lack of self-confidence, and fear of failure all of that can engender.

You have to do a lot of things on your own and keep track of deadlines etc

[@bethany3cat]

I was very similar, in fact. Diagnosed in 2nd grade (8 years old, I think), I was outraged that anyone could believe I had a learning disability! Then, I developed an I'll show them attitude, and all my competitive nature focused on succeeding in school. In addition, I was already an avid reader, so I began carrying a Science Fiction or Fantasy book at all times, and whenever a lull in class activity occurred, I would read my book -- completing as many as 2 or 3 classic works of literature a day. This continued all the way through High School graduation. The only problem was that I never learned any coping skills and basically got through school "by the seat of my pants" fueled by a need to prove myself and carried along by a few extra IQ points I was lucky enough to receive. Fast forward to Senior Year in H.S., as an emancipated minor (that was an entirely different set of misfortunes), I worked 40+ hours a week while attending school, but I was FOCUSed on being the first in my family with a college degree. I finished with honors near the top of my class and earned a National Merit Scholarship, and when I started university classes, I found myself completely cast adrift because I lacked any regimen or coping strategies, and I almost didn't make it out alive. Ultimately, I managed to succeed almost entirely because of two well-timed and generous mentors, who contributed by offering me a sense of accountability to an extrinsic source. Yes, I did graduate; although, I regret even now, at 56 years of age, that I still struggle with creating any self-imposed structure around goals or time management.
