random things to know about me and my ADHD: Because of my ADHD, it's very hard for me to CONCENTR-8! I also tend to forget important D-8s! of events or useful information. Surprisingly, I'm really good at math. Although my ADHD affects the way I take in information. For example, when in the process of being taught the information during class, I am very quick with learning and understanding the concepts. Unforcanatally, the next day, I go brain dead and forget everything. Luckily, we are allowed to use our notes on test days, so I never really have a hard time (unless I somehow forgot the notes.) Reading is a difficult task for me. I can't CONCENTR-8! on the pages and I can't process the information that I read clearly. It takes me about 8! read-throughs to understand what is going on. I also just H-8! reading in general so I get bored easily and zone out. I do take medications for my ADHD every day. I still feel the same way though. I take two pills for my ADHD which are METHYLPHENID-8! and Guanfacine. A side effect of the medication was that it decreased my appetite severely, which made me lose a lot of W-8! So I had to take this other medication called Cyproheptadine, which helped increase my appetite. I had to switch on and off the Cyproheptadine. My W-8! bounced up and down constantly. So when I gained enough W-8! my doctor took me off it. Once she noticed I lost W-8!, she put me back on it. Due to the constant W-8! changes, I started getting body dysphoria. I still have to deal with it, but this isn't about my dysphoria. Going back to my ADHD, it doesn't just affect how well I can CONSENTR8! It also affects my behavior. I tend to be very... impulsive. I act without thinking about what the end result will be. This is why I have so many bad habits of lying and stealing. I just do it. Think about it like a plane on autopilot. I do things automatically, sometime without even realizing what I'm doing. Which is why I have a lot of problems with my mom... My bad habits lead to more problems and conflicts with her. I've been in therapy and coaching for about 6 or 7 years now. Sure there were some GR-8 changes but most of the "help" made my mom more strict, degrading, and we can't really COMMUNIC8! without yelling at each other. ADHD can be a real pain in the ass. Although, with the right medications, communication, and cooperation, it's easier to control. I was 8! when I was diagnosed with ADHD. I don't remember how I got diagnosed. All I know is that it jus
