okay so i'm in 8th grade and in primary school l was diagnosed with ADHD in primary school lots of people thought l was weird and l did not have many friends because all my life l have this daily rush of energy that makes me feel good, when l get the rush of energy l will usually humm to music or laugh when things are not really funny, i will make stupid immiture faces and sometimes even run really fast or act like i'm doing some drug or something. I've tried so hard to get rid of the rush, by tiring myself down or something but nothing works and l can not just control myself so it really gets me down when people do not wanna hang with me or be my friend at all. I've been on tablets for it but it did not really help cause they made me feel sick and l lost alot of weight too for some reason but now i'm in high school and l still do it,
but one thing that l use everyday is the trampoline in my back yard,
i love my rush but it is really getting me down because people call me nutzo or crazy and l hate being called that.
even one time my teacher asked me if l had fruit loops for breakfast because l had that rush in class,
i feel so down :(
what do l do?

dont take the drugs. ADHD is bull crap, everyone hates school. Just suck it up learn discipline and pay attention whenever you can.
i mean for real, people have not really had adhd untill reacently. from time and beyond people have been dealing with it without drugs
just man up

Love yourself first. You know that u have adhd. That is something u were born with. You can not just remove it like it is an old coat no matter how u try. The only choice u have is to try & live with it focusing on ur best qualities & skills & look for people that can accept you. Reaching out to others helps u make friends. Look for things about the people that u like. Learn to laugh with people when they laugh at you. Like the fruit loops thing. If u do not like it, do not feel hurt, just roll ur eyes & know that the teacher was TRYING to be funny & 'keep it light' through humor. If u must tell someone what hurts u & if they care about you, they will apologize & change. Good luck.

Even though l do not have any personal experience when it comes to ADHD, l do not think u should feel down about something like that. People may call u weird, even ''special'' with a negative tone, but u have to put yourself in the mindset that it is just their ignorance talking. Do not stress yourself or feel down for people that r not worth it. Do u have any idea how many people live with ADHD every day & have still managed to live a normal life despite all the struggles that come with ADHD? Let the people that truly understand what u r going through be ur inspiration to defeat all negativity & show everyone just how much u can accomplish, no matter what.

GO TO YOUR DOCTOR AND GET YOUR MEDICATION ADJUSTED PROPERLY.

please do not listen to scott because he is ignorant & has no idea what it is like to be ADHD. do not let what others say upset you. u r the way u are. usually explaining to people about ur condition & how ur mind works, helps them to better understand you. if they realized what they were saying was hurtful & that u can truly not help the way u r acting they will be more sensitive. & do not ever let anyone make u feel like u r less than worthy of the best or that u r disabled in anyway. ADHD is not a disability, there is nothing wrong with ur mental abilities. & to help burn off the ''rush'' u feel try exercising or find a hobby that interests u & focus some of ur excess energy on that. it worked for my brothers & they also got to meet friends that shared common interests with them. because once u find a common ground with someone the way u r will only interest them more in you. u mentioned u liked ur trampoline, have u ever considered gymnastics or tumbling classes? these r great ways to meet other nice people & have fun doing something u enjoy. l hope l was some help & like l said do not listen to the negative.if those people have nothing better to do with their time than point out ur ''flaws'' than let them because while they r busy doing that u can be becoming a better person. always be postive, it is not always going to be easy but u will feel better in the end. good luck & keep us updated!!!

l work with kids with disabilities & medication can all sorts of weird side effects. Try talking to ur doctor exactly what u just told us as u may need a change in ur medication. Another option would be to also talk with ur school guidance counselor or Special Ed/Resource Room (if u have one) about what is going on. They may be able to work with u on ways to naturally reduce ur ADHD symptoms & related side effects. This could range from letting u be in a quiet place so that you're not as easily distracted, hooking u up a mentor to work with ur on focusing techniques, allowing u to meditate in a quiet room, or any number of related things.

If ur symptoms do not continue to improve after a reasonable amount of time (a month or two), then u may to get re-evaluated to rule out any other possible disabilities.

Good Luck! Persevere, learn how to take control of yourself, ur ADHD, love yourself who u are, & u can become very successful later on in life.

First of all r u on any add medication? l am 41 years & have had add all my life. Unfortunately when l was ur age there was no meds available so consequently l did very poorly in school. l had adhd as a child & teen, & can remember the rush u r describing but NEVER would have behaved the way u r describing. In school l was always getting into trouble from the teachers for misbehaving, talking, impulsiveness, not paying attention, etc. l find it hard to believe that u can not control making faces, humming laughing for no reason, etc. If not, l would say that ur add is the least of ur worries. l might also add that over the last 15 yrs, several psychiatrists & psychologists have said l have some of the worst add they have ever seen. Anyway, l really think ur parents need to get u to another physician to get u some help. Definitely sounds like you've got something going on much more serious than Adhd. Good luck & do not let up on ur parents until they get u to a doctor who can help you.
PS: And yes, every day l HATE having ADD!

You're trying to put out so much energy that u swamp other people with it. ADHD can be either neptunian where u sort of zone out & have no focus. You have a focus it is just not really apparent & should not really be fought too much. When it is uranian it is like a excitement energy that u want to ''infect'' everyone with. It is really control security issues & just being willing to allow things to be the way they r without feeling the need to ''drive'' the energy of every situation. There is nothing wrong with mutually agreeing to a uranian excitement ride where two people just go a little bit nuts & being goofy. But if you're trying to do it all the time with everyone then you're going to get fought on it alot. You're a uranian type of ADHD & drugs wo not help u at all or anyone with ADHD.

Hey sweetie pie l am sorry u r suffering because of this dreaded curse, it is true ADHD Really sucks, & it is not fair, but it is something that u most probably inherited, does one of ur parents suffer with it, or maybe even both, if they do or did, ask them how they were able to cope with it at ur age, u may get some very helpful hints, because they may have learned a lot along the way, by experiencing ADD also, & they can share useful info with you, which may help u to find a way to cope also, ur teacher is disgusting, saying that to you, & as for the other kids not wanting to be friends with you, do not let yourself stress about it, they r not worth the trouble, just be patient, u will get some good friends one day, when u least expect it to happen, because good friends r very rare in this world, & therefore hard to find,bad selfish friends r all around, & it is very easy to find those, but u will find that waiting for a good friend is worth it in the long run, a real friend will stick by you, through thick & thin, & will always be kind to you. So hang in there sweetheart, just have patience l know that is really hard at ur age, but u can do it, concentrate as much as possible on ur schoolwork, u will then make something of yourself & leave these low selfish uncaring brats behind, do not look back now, u can not see it yet, but u will if u apply yourself, then u will become somebody!
And u will leave the brats behind you.
You can do it sweet pea.
