Abstract

we are gifted and have good social skills so we might not have ADHD. This is exactly how most of us with ADHD feel; misunderstood.I spent days and nights feeling insecure about myself, confused about my future, feeling like I could be great but with every task, I fell farther from greatness. As a young adult male living in Jamaica, I was expected to be a macho man, and I did during the days but I cried at night.I have never felt suicidal thankfully, but sometimes I do wish I was never born; never having the chance to face this ugly, chaotic and challenging world. I try to be optimistic about my future but my days of failure hit harder than the average human so I tend to be so pessimistic most days.I recently migrated and have started studies in a new field. This was in an effort to get away from my previous job, my friends, and my family. I needed to do this so that I could get a chance to find myself; to connect with my inner peace. I love my friends and family dearly but I found out that having them around all day every day was

I was diagnosed with ADHD… Part III

I have lived all my life with ADHD and never knew what the symptoms were until I was 28 years old and things started to get more chaotic in my life. I started losing sleep, losing track of time, underestimating tasks more often and was just overly agitated about the simplest of things.

Everyone around me, as Jean Campbell has outlined in her blog, people seem to think that because we are gifted and have good social skills so we might not have ADHD. This is exactly how most of us with ADHD feel; misunderstood.
