my wonderful ADHD diagnosis

My greetings to everyone!! I am writing about my adult “childhood diagnosis”. I was diagnosed with ADHD. Well, this is simply restless and overly distracted. Well, this happens often in children. They run around, spin, and do not sit still even if they are punished. Mothers suffer greatly with such children. Previously, doctors said “it will grow up, everything will pass.” Well, now doctors say that it turns out. remains in adults. Well, I have no doubt. since there are adults who run around like an electric broom. Well, doctors recently included me in this group. I told them that I was extremely restless as a child. Grandma always held my hand. Either I ran far away, or I immediately fell. If my brother went out for a walk with me, he also wouldn’t let go of my hand. He even played football. holding my hand. And it didn’t “stress” me. I ran fine with it. I did well at school. I studied extremely well at the institute. The problem was that the pace of presentation of material in lectures was slow for me. And I really missed you. I wasn't bored for long at the lecture because I can't sit quietly and do nothing. I planned the lecture time as follows: I write a lecture...in the intervals between this (and they are more than I need) I write my homework, in parallel. Do you think that's all? I’m bored, all this and I still have an interesting magazine on my desk and my friend and I are leafing through it. I look at the pictures and they make me laugh. I also planned to go out into the corridor during the lecture to walk around or go to the library (there is less line at the lecture). I managed to do everything. And listen and write and watch. And he studied well. For my restlessness during an optimal lecture, I needed a faster presentation of information with a change of pictures, video and audio. But that's not all...For perfect concentration, I need to do two things at the same time. Or at least shoot a video and write. Then everything is ok, and I’m not very bored. Therefore, when they told me that I had ADHD, I said to the doctor “so what? What’s wrong?” The doctor told me “if you get tired, that’s bad.” Well, yes, I’m tired... when I’m lying tired, I write and read a lot on the Internet. It’s boring to just lie down... I enjoy several phones, streams of information... but my sleep is also restless... that’s why I went to the doctor... I’m writing here to support others with ADHD

Turns out it's not so bad to be hyperactive!!! You can do a lot of things!!! Why is it a disease?! Although it must be hard to be active all the time...!

Reading you definitely makes me want to get your disease...... Hyperactivity. I get it. I've become a lazy hamster. I don't know how to get myself to do a lot of things. I admire you, share your experience, how you got sick.

It’s awesome to hear you’ve figured out how to use your differences to your advantage! My sister was recently diagnosed with ADHD and she really struggles to get things done, unfortunately.

balancing physical and mental health

yo, im Hana. im 27 y.o and i live in the midwest united states.

its been a couple years now that ive been diagnosed with HPV 16&18, aka the worst strains of HPV you can have and the leading cause of cervical cancer.

i have had 2 surgeries to remove precancerous cells and now it looks like im going to have another one because the precancer cells are still on my cervix.


recovery from a LEEP procedure (where they remove part of your cervix that is infected with the precancer) is awful and painful and stressful.

i have no caring women in my life to talk to about this, other than my fiancé’s mother.


the worst part is, the more times i have to have a cervical LEEP surgery, the more it puts me at risk of 2nd trimester miscarriages and painful menstrual periods. that is, if i dont need to get a hysterectomy at some point.


im 20-goddamn-7 and my fiancé has 2 kiddos but i wanted to have one myself. my own baby. and the chance might be taken away from me before i can even think about it.


recovering from the surgeries, as well as trying to keep my head on straight and make sure i’m managing my gastrointestinal issues as well (cuz i have an ulcer and esophagitis..)


its really fresh right now because every time they give me a pelvic exam, i cry. im sick of this, im sick of crying and hurting and trying to put on a brave face.

when i am so so scared of what the end result might be and meanwhile making sure my fiancé is okay cuz hes going through a depressive episode as well.


its a ton going on.


i have an appointment in a couple of hours with my OBGYN (hes wonderful!) about what our next steps are. im so nervous and i just want to stay in bed for the next week..

constant interrogations and revelations

I want to share my state of powerlessness...despondency, and confusion, which has been weighing on me. I don't know what to do at all, and from the fatigue of the situation I am lethargic, I feel like I am in a fog.

I don't work much, but I am very tired of the family situation...I have three children living with me, my mom, my husband. My husband and I have known each other since childhood, he is a wonderful man. I think he's kind, but he has another half: the dark half. Sometimes he starts talking nonsense. He starts telling me that he's seen me in certain situations, but I know for a fact that I wasn't in those situations.

For example, he tells me how I betrayed him and was there for his friend, him and something else I stole. I argue to the point of hoarseness that I was somewhere else that day, but it doesn't help. If I don't talk to him, he follows me around and interrogates me. He wants confessions and revelations. But this is not one such story, there are many. Which were, but probably only in his imagination. This situation is making me sick. And my inner state affects my outer life. It's important for me to be in charge of my own life. It was like he smoked cannabis and I appeared to him in hallucinations. Then he'll blame me for what I did in his hallucination. Because he often doesn't separate his hallucinations and real life. When he argues with me, he gets aggressive. How can I prove the truth to him? I've argued a lot, but it doesn't work. Our fighting is bad for the kids, and my mother. They are dumbfounded by the text of the accusations against me.

I'm afraid of public speaking

I'm in desperate need for help and some advice. I soon will face one of my biggest fears: public speaking. I've always struggled with it. It was the worst parts of school. Now it's become a huge obstacle that I NEED to overcome at work.

I've been assigned to present a major project that my entire team of about 30 talented people have worked tirelessly on. The responsibility is huge, because I was the lead on this project, and now everything depends on me. I’m really and I mean REALLY proud of what we have achieved and I’m so frightened. If what we accomplished wasn't so wonderful, maybe I'd be less worried.

We've spent countless hours on this project, pouring our heart and soul into it. It's our baby, and I'm the one who needs to introduce it to the world.

The thought of standing in front of everyone, not just my colleagues, but also senior management. What if I'll freeze, forget everything I've rehearsed and let my team down? It's worth mentioning that as soon as I think about performing I already get dizzy, sweaty palms and a lump in my throat. What will happen to me at the performance?

I want to do my team good. I want to present our project in the best light possible but this fear of public speaking is becoming a real roadblock.
