What does it feel like to have ADHD?

[jgibsonian1986]

Boring to put it simply. That is my natural state of being, bored. I find ways to outthink my bordem but it's a bit like life is a game of self entertainment where you go, do something, and then instantly once it's over think "what now". Adhd also means you don't think in the past or future, you are most always thinking in the present. So I don't often think about what I will do in an hour, or tomorrow, or ever really unless I am completely sitting still thinking about it. Life is dramatic af, and so am I even if I don't like drama, as a result of being either hyper active doing something or inattentive and on a tangent. My memory is not normal, I would say it's all associative rather than chronological, so I can't remember what I was doing last Tuesday, but if I was reminded of it I could tell you most of everything I did Tuesday from that one event, I THINK. Because of my strange memory I also am usually completely unsure of anything I know :) so that's fun. Having Adhd is a mind game battle to entertain yourself with life, and it ends up producing very strange habits like creeping people out for no reason but to get their reaction lol. That's a bit what it's like for me

Imagine that your mind is in a constant fog, and you can't sit still to save your life.

It feels like your brain is too loud, if that makes any sense. You know when you walk into Best Buy and all the display TVs are on and they're all showing different things and you don't know which one to look at? That's kind of how it feels.

I felt real hyperactive couldn't sit still for too long

It fucking sucks. ADD has really fucked me up in so many ways, caused me to fail so many time, and made me doubt myself in every possible way.
