Lately I’ve been feeling worse i keep asking myself if that’s it is this how I’ll be for the rest of my life? Why me? What the heck did I do to deserve this? I can’t stop my brain never shuts off, I can’t sleep I’m 26 and I’m like a kid I’m fun around kids because I’m highly energized and I can’t stop when I finally do i get bored or i get depressed no one around me gets it I don’t think they’ll ever I feel alone

Hi Frances2019, you're right about the level of energy being high with ADHD and our creativity and looking at life as an adventure could be considered a positive attribute of having this condition. On the other hand, people will think or even say, "Grow up and act your age." They don't get it. Sometimes, it would be nice to be able to turn it off, but it's not like an electric switch with an on/off button. Don't be too hard on yourself because everyone has times where things are difficult- yes even non-ADHD people, Everyone included. Relax and give yourself some space at times and do something you really enjoy. Another thought- is there anyone that really calms you down on a consistent basis? This could be your go-to thing. Take Care & Well Wishes.

No I don’t have anyone or should I say I would rather keep them and their energy away from me but I’m hanging in there today was better

Hi Frances2019,

I’m very new to all this but I get where you’re coming from. My mind always feels like a ‘radio’ just randomly tuning into different stations without any control or even pattern. It was joked about at home and school and we called it ‘butterfly brain’ .

As for sleep I can honestly say that without medicinal help I have never had a good nights sleep. I’ve come to terms with that now. But it does mean I’m prone to exhaustion or even mania from lack of decent sleep.

I’ve asked myself ‘why me’ and slipped into that horrible sense of self pity. I’ve done it so many times and it’s such a painful place to be in. Like was answered before I guess give yourself a break? Easier said then done sometimes but you are not alone, you will find your ‘people’ who understand and support you. And above all you have the right to feel the way you feel. The people who hang in there with you through the hard times are the ones you want anyway! The others perhaps not so much?

Keep up the fight my friend!! You’ll come out stronger and wiser! Take it easy and all the best!! I’m glad you are reaching out because you’ve helped me with your post. I’ve felt that a lot in the last month!
