ADHD 

 

SELF DIAGNOSTIC TEST 

This is definitely not a sure-shot way of determining whether you have ADHD at all, but I recommend doing one of these tests before visiting a physician. Please visit a doctor for a proper diagnosis/consultation. 

 

Professionals who are qualified to diagnose ADD/ADHD:

  1. Psychiatrist (M.D.) - very trained in diagnosis since that is their specialisation. 
  2. Psychologist (not M.D.; cannot prescribe medication) - trained in diagnosis and counselling - can refer you to specialised doctor if required further.
  3. Family Doctor - may not have much experience with ADHD diagnosis; you may not get the appropriate result, cannot offer counselling but can prescribe medication.
  4. Neurologist - specialised in brain treatment and can also spot any other conditions such as seizure disorders, etc. 

Of course, the most approachable method is visiting your family doctor as they are easier to schedule with and have a history with you. However, they may not be as experienced as a psychiatrist and that can possibly lead to a misdiagnosis. 

 

 

USEFUL LINKS:

 

RELATED CONDITIONS:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Other learning disabilities
  • Oppositional Defiant Disorder
  • Sensory Processing Disorder

Remember, medication may work great for some of you, and for some of you not so much. Or maybe you are in a place where you cannot get access to medication for whatsoever reasons. Nothing can be fit into a box because abnormalities in the medical field have always existed and will continue to exist. What works for you may not work for somebody else and vice versa. 

 

Just because medication may not be it for you, does not mean it ends there. After all, ADHD is something you have to live with and over time you can help yourself by developing certain habits and regulations. 

 

SELF CARE FOR ADHD:

 

And the simplest advice for you is please get enough sleep. If this is hard; you are too distracted or have too much on your plate, still, try your best to get a solid 7 hours or so because it will wake you up in a much better mindset. A way to force yourself to sleep early is tire yourself out (physically) and fall asleep at a good time one night and repeat for the next few days, then when you are back to your normal routine you will naturally begin feeling sleepy at that hour (please don't resist it). 

Surround yourself with understanding friends and try your best not to beat yourself up over it. Nothing will magically treat you, you are all you have. 

 

Bonus! Cute website.

A few helpful links for starters:

 

Self care:

 

Here's a list of mental health mobile apps that might be of some help if you're into that

 

​Here are some more resources that might help you understand this better

OCD subtypes (detailed list here as I mentioned above)

  1. Contamination
  2. Compulsive hoarding
  3. "Just right" OCD 
  4. Scrupulosity (religious/ moral obsessions)

Related disorders or conditions may include..

  • OCPD (Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder)
  • Body dysmorphic order
  • Skin picking
  • Trichotillomania
  • Dermatillomania

It might not always be possible to get professional help, so here are some self-help resources:

 

I made a post about OCD earlier and got reminded to post it here while I was composing the ADHD post on the last page, so here you go [copy-pasted].

guys i just started anti depressants for my anxiety about 2 weeks ago and a couple days ago i smoked a blunt for the first time since and i've felt so weird since then like i've been dissociating like snapping in and out of reality and not being sure of what has actually happened it's been going on for 2 days now and it's freaking me out

 

edit : i also have an eating disorder so i feel light headed and zone out sometimes but never for this long or this intensely.. sorry about this i just needed to get this off my chest somewhere where i'm kinda anonymous

Everything is going fine but my mind keeps on telling me it’s not.

 

I just have no motivation to do anything rights. I don’t even contact my friends to go out anymore and this has been going on for more than a month now.

I’m shutting down and confining myself inside the house with no goals to work toward to.

I’m just so tired. Those suicidal thoughts that I have suppressed is still lingering at the back of my mind. I just do not want to talk about it to anyone. I have finished the battle with my degree which was the reason that exacerbate my suicidal ideation but why am I still feeling it. Thought it’s not as intensive but those little tiny thoughts irk me so much. I hate it so so much

This is literally me last semester, but don't hate yourself, and also if you regretting something that you did, believe that the moment happened because it was for you now, so you won't do the same again for someone. If you want to talk personally, I'm up for it.

 

Can someone help me out I don’t know if I have a anxiety or not because I try to talk to my mother about this but she doesn’t care about mental health she’s expects me to be happy everyday.

 

Ok, I don’t if I have an anxiety or not Because yes, I’m shy person, I hate myself because sometimes I would ask people questions I already know but I just ask them just to talk to them, the thing is that my classmates probably think I’m stupid. Back on what I’m saying, I don’t think I have anxiety I think it’s revolving over my self confidence and shyness, My freshman year of hs was the worst for me because I didn’t make new friends and I was lonely which caused my sadness making me get a D+ on math, Sometimes I just want to kill myself because I’m never happy for some reason I don’t know what’s wrong with me I think this is a highschool phase or something, I don’t know why even with that D I’m probably not going to get into a good college, I just don’t know why I’m never happy

It's natural process that you feeling like this, at least for me, since I know what you feel. Because back then, when I was highschooler, my grade is so-so, and my parents were always supporting me no matter what. So it's true what your mother did, and just think positively about your problem. It's just my personal experience, if you need more, I'm up to talk personally.

I attempted suidice a couple of days ago and failed... I feel horrible... That I failed my whole life is a mess and I announced it on another forum, just went to lurk and no one even seems to notice I'm gone I am completely useless. My parents don't take my depression seriously at all and just want me to continue with life when I can barely function. At college they use it against me and make me feel like even more shit. I'm temporarily kicked out but I still went to internship and shit happened... So I might get completely kicked out and in my country you gotta repay and I already gotta pay back my previous study and I'm broke af and this way I can't find a job either...

 

Don't come with "seek help" I can't afford it anyway and "help" has never helped me, I've been seeing psychologists since I was 7. I'm just so done with everything and no one seems to give a shit about me untill I mention suicide a few "care" but the temptation to try it again...

Your post worry me and idk how to react on this. First of all i am happy u failed and u are alive. 

I dont think that u are usless. I often feel this too, but its not true at all. Do u help cooking in the family or clean up? Do u get buy things when asked for help? Do u help in general when asked? U arent useless. U also can find smg what makes u fun, relax u and dont makes u think much. Do u like drawing, dancing, singing or sport? I think its important to have an yin and yang. U also can try to engage u in things, like teaching things u have fun with to others, or get yourself mobil in politics, church or simply "work" in a kitchen for homeless ppl etc. there are many things to do feel less useless when u see the real help u bring. 

 

For the parents, sadly i do have the same problem as u. But the only thing we can do is radical acceptance as we cant change them. Dont listen to what they say. get it in one ear and in the other out. Its hard, i know it myself. But simply think in the moment abt other things, so u will not hear the shit yr parents say. Its a method i use. I gave up with talking with them, so i dont listen to them anymore eighter. Or try to make a fun out of it. Try to make them as a joke. U can try to develop a technique to laugh in yourself, every time yr parents are ignorant and laugh abt their ignorance. I got it from of of the Gilmore Girls Episodes as Lorelai  do it against her Mother. It can be effective.

 

Why was u kicked out and of what? I didnt rlly got it. sry.
