My superpower is more around having every high intuition,Reading people,Knowing when something is different,and Survival mode.

The high intuition is part is basically Like when I’m cooking.I never pay attention to a clock or how long it’s been for when the food should be done.So most of the time I will randomly get up to check if the food is done or not.The second I’m standing in front of the oven/microwave the timer goes off.A lot of other times When a friend is gone for an amount of time.After a point i will message and normally most of the time the second i message they end up being back.One of my friends calls me a witch each time it happens to be funny with it.Along with these when I’m out in town and a lot of times i will also randomly look down at my cell and the moment i look at the screen a text pops up from which ever friend it is.Another time I was walking in school up a stair case changing classes.One of my friends was going to hit me with her binder.I was looking in the other direction and didn’t see what she was about to do.The second she came close to hitting me my arm automatically went up and blocked.

Reading people I can tell when any mood has changed.Even if the mood has barely changed I know the second it has.The bad part is that if it’s a negative mood change that drives me crazy.So I suck at making it better or to make it stop sadly.

With knowing when something is different.Like I notice the first day when the sun is positioned different in the sky.When it changes where it’s at in the sky it affects my mood greatly.So beginning of spring and fall.I end up being in a super happy mood more than i would during summer and winter.If something looks different about a person I noticed the second i see them.Just any small changes Its like a huge difference in my mind.

Survival mode is interesting for me since It mostly happens when something very serious happens.Like if someone is badly injured,I’m in danger,ect.I will spring into action without a second thought.Like When a friend of mine couldn’t breath I had someone stay with her then sprinted a good ways for someone to help.After finding someone and she was in the clear.I ended up collapsing on the ground and having trouble breathing.I wasn’t in the best running shape also I have asthma.But while I’m like in my survival mode nothing matters but what I’m trying to fix or help.Another time on the house another room was being add.It wasn’t finished but later that day it started pouring rain.The living room wall ended up looking like a water fall.The second I saw that I ran around the house finding any towels we had to dry and save the wood floor from the water.While doing that I called my dad and told him to hurry up and get here to try and fix it.

I’m sure most people with ADHD/ADD have these type of superpower skills but I like how they do make you feel special.

It sounds like y’all should sit down and have a serious talk and straight up ask him.Does he truly want to change and become a better person on that matter.After what answer he response i think you need to give him an ultimatum.Also I would ask him if he even hates how he is acting and what he does.But once you set him down to talk about all of that you have to be super blunt,cold,and not messing around seriousness.

I have ADHD and like most gone though dark times with it.What made it so i finally changed to become better wasn’t pretty.It ended up taking something pretty huge to wake me up and realize what i was doing.

They guy I’m with now gives me tough love when my adhd acts up and I start acting bad.When he does it I know he’s not joking and if i kept acting the way I did he wouldn’t put up with it and leave.Since I care about him more than any person I have in my life I listen and try super hard to change.

Seeing someone for help with ADHD/ADD and being on meds can only help to a point.I’m on meds and see a doc about it but I still have my bad moments.So even if he starts on the correct meds and see the right doc.He might still flit with other chicks and all of that.

Bottom line if all of that fails leave him because he’s bad news for you.

I would have to say the part of ADD/ADHD i have a harder time with would be the having trouble learning/understanding.I will admit it’s kinda like I’m study retarded,lol.Doesn’t mean I’m stupid or anything just it’s really hard for me to learn and remember what I learned.Also with the understanding i’ve had times i kept asking for the person to explain better and most of the time they end up getting mad and yell. ;(

For me I’ve never called being able to see every little tiny detail hunter vision.For me that hyper focus makes me think of a cat when it’s in crazy playful mode.Also the type of ADD/ADHD I have is a combine of like every symptom you read saying that comes with either.Hyper,Inattentive,learning problem,ect.

OMG YES about the enter a room or door and it’s like that door wiped ur memory clean.What I normally do is just stand there thinking,”Ok I was going to do something in here but wat.”Then I just stand there untill either I remember or come up with nothing.Then I just say,”Oh well,”then turn around and go back to where I was.Sometimes I get an idea on the walk back so I end up going back and forth.

About the Sherlock part that makes me wonder if everyone with add/adhd have some kind of tv show or something going on in their heads.For me it’s not a Sherlock type it’s like an anime show going on in my head over whats going on or how i’m picturing things.With all that dramatic face expressions and comedy type.It’s very entertaining.

Idk if anyone else ever had this happened before but once I was in a store and this thing happened that I like to just call a hyper attack.Like I end up so hyper that my head starts to hurt,everything starts spinning,I’m laughing and confused.It doesnt last to long from wat i remember but since i start meds it mostly stopped.From time to time i still get like a sugar high or drunk,lol.Even though i didnt have anything sweet to drink or eat.I just get so happy over a thought or something that it just happens after,lol.I start laughing like a crazy person though,lol.

The randomness is so much fun and very funny unless the other person is a stick in the mud.For me it makes me think of like that movie UP and the dogs randomly yelling “SQUIRREL!” in mid sentence.Also sometimes while talking like your memory gets wipped out and forget wat u where talking about.Thats happened so much it’s just best to say oh well and talk about something else.I think this is all i was planning to say and not sure how on topic I’m being.Oh well close enough i guess XD

Sure having ADHD/ADD Isn’t a walk in the park but saying it’s a cancer of the soul might be a little extreme.Yeah the self-destructive behavior can get pretty out of hand but it just takes time to learn to handle your self when you feel like your slipping.On the impact our ability to love I don’t think it makes it so we can’t.I mean all humans can love in each of our own different ways.The issue most probably run into is the expressing part,keeping promises,focusing on what they are talking about,and trying not to come off as being selfish.Other than that I think people with ADHD/ADD are the most exciting people to ever be with.We are like the ultimate mystery box.:D I know that probably if I didn’t have ADHD I would be less fun and boring to the dude i’m with now,lol.I wouldn’t trade my crazyness for anything because it can bring so much fun and happiness.When it’s a good day of course,lol.

I’ve been on Vyvanse since the summer of 2010.Didn’t start taking it “correctly” till November/December of 2011.OMG IT’S LIKE HEAVEN! 😀 Still had my hyperness which I would have been depressed if it made my hyperness stop,lol.So the vyvanse made it so I can focus much better while I’m hyper unless i slept really bad the night before.Then my mind is just so off and I cant so anything thinking wise.I now take my vyvanse at 7am ,go back to sleep,and vyvanse starts to kick in around 8-9am to wake me up.I started to take it at 7am since it says that vyvanse last for 14 hours.So it should stop working around 11pm.

I had depression problems and took meds for that but stopped after seeing a therapist.My depression started to stop happening but I still have my anxiety.My anxiety cause me to have trouble sleeping at night at other peoples places.Also having panic attacks kinda often about a lot of different things.So now I’m taking a med called,”Seroquel XR 50mg.”I take that at 5:30pm everyday and if I forget to take it I can’t sleep AT ALL.My hyperness makes it really hard to stay asleep and go into a deep sleep.I’ve even had times where I couldnt sleep at all and stayed up for 24hrs.So yeah Vyvanse and seroquel XR are the greatest meds to me ever :D.

That’s a whole lot of reading,lol.Good thing I’m able to focus pretty good today. 😀 Anyways that’s a very interesting thought or theory.That could probably explain why if some people with ADD/ADHD have paranoia or anxiety issues.Along with other things which ever they might be.I don’t know if this happens to everyone.I’ve noticed there just isn’t really a median.Like sometimes with me at times I feel like I’m really def or something and not be able to hear or understand.Other times it’s like I have super hearing.Even when it comes to sight or timing.Either I feel like i’m blind as hell and not noticed things then others It’s like I notice every small detail with out any effort.Timing wise I’ve had people say I’ve freaked them out with it,lol.Either my timing with anything is so off it’s kinda sad and other times it’s crazy how right on I am.Like if i’m not paying attention to how long something is cooking or for someone to return.Then a lot of times without effort or really thinking about it.I just get the urge to get up or message who ever it is.A good bit of times the second I get in the kitchen or after i sent that message.The time goes off at that second and the person replys.Doesn’t happen all the time but it happens a good bit.I had a guy I’m with just reply “witch!” in a joking way,lol.Again idk if this type of stuff happens to everyone or anything.I’ve always wanted to know if it’s an ADD/ADHD thing or not as well.But I hope the theory you just explained is really possible that would be freaken awesome,lol.

Yeah I know before taking vyvanse my sleeping was like i went to sleep around 2-3am woke up between the times of 1pm-4pm.Once I was on this other medication and i would sleep from 2am-6pm.So yeah if i could I would sleep all day and stay up all night only problem is I would need a 100% dark room to sleep in during the day,lol.

@venzulo when i was in Elementary school to middle school i tried Adderal.Reason why i stopped taking it and ended up using vyvanse is because the older i got the more it ended up making me feel depressed.If and when you switch to vyvanse I’m not sure what kind of side effects you might get with it at first but when i first tried it it made me not want to eat really.Also Try out all the different dosages again not sure if this happens to everyone but i know if I try any dosage from 60+ I end up shaky and tics.http://www.vyvanseadult.com/?mid=v012497

Atm I’m 22 as well and I used to have really horrible waking up and going to sleep issues as well.For me what finally made it less crazy was when I started taking my adhd vyvanse correctly.I still have issues making myself go to sleep but the latest my body will stay up is like midnight-1am nothing past that because im to tired.I never sleep past 10:30am unless im super mega tired then only 11am.Right now I’m wanting to wake up before 10am so I’m taking my vyvanse at 6am.I know that sounds impossible but I have my alarm clock set for it,then i get up go to the bathroom,come back in my room,take my vyvanse,and then go back to sleep.Since it says vyvanse takes like 90mins to really kick in I start to wake up around 8:45am from my heart beating fast from it lol.Now i just need to make myself go to bed at around 10-10:30pm at night,lol.I’m not sure what meds your taking for your adhd/add but I do know with your adhd med TIMING IS EVERYTHING.I didnt know this when i first started taking it but if you dont take it at the same time every day it doesnt help you as much.So far with my taking vyvanse at 6am thing i’ve felt more awake during the day and 10 times happier.I was taking it at 8:30am but would wake up tired still most of the day and cranky most of the time.But if getting yourself on a time to take the med at the same time everyday.Have someone close to you come in your room at that time and make you take it.Thats what I did I had a family member wake me up and give it to me to take for like 1 month.After that It became a habbit to waking up when my alarm goes off and take it myself.Rarely but some mornings I would be so out of it tired and end up forgetting to take it.Also idk if this goes for everyone but for me To make sure i do the things i know i should do i remind myself by saying,”I know I just want to be lazy but if I dont do it i will regret it and it wont be pretty when I do.” lol

@allan wallace Working out in gym’s are boring after a point for me as well,lol.How I started to be able to work out more constantly is I put the treadmill I have in my bed room.Then i set my computer on something high enough i can see while i walk.That way I’m able to meet my 700 cal goal and also not get bored and the time go by sooner.So I guess this would be the one time internet is good,lol.

Oh my god the Hypersensitivity is hell it self and just a spiral of unhappiness. I know what you mean but for me I don’t just get overly sad I also get extremely angry like I’m going to grow as big as a T-rex and destroy a whole city.So it’s like first I’m extremely angry and then I break down crying.

During 2 of my anger episodes I ended up punching a punching bag so hard i screwed up both of the knuckles on my pinky fingers.The worst part is I wasn’t mad over anything serious it was just something small my boyfriend did.I ended up couldn’t let it go and it spiraled all the way to messing up my hands.

I also wrecked my car 2 yrs ago and it flipped.Ever since then i’ve been to scared to drive and I do want to drive but i keep thinking that someone is going to hit me.So then I’m like “never mind not going to try.”

Also with my anxiety I’m to scared to move forward with my life.I’m to scared of failing and not making it in life.So then that also makes me feel like I’m already a failure so then I feel sad over that.

IDK if it’s just me but I cant tell if someone is joking or being serious and sometimes i take it to seriously and feel really hurt.

Mostly to help you get over it is try to find someone close to you to help you get through it and remind you that your not a failure and you can do it.If you dont have anyone just try to remind yourself how awesome you are.believe me it’s not easy when your upset it takes a whole lot to kick those negative things out of your head.Another good thing about having ADHD it’s easy for us to do something and forget what we are sad about.If we are able to break away which takes an army,lol.

Oh the evils of the internet,lol.

I would have to say the longest I was stuck to the computer and using internet was for 16hrs straight.It was because of a new online game i was playing,lol.I was in high school so yeah I was dead tired during all my classes.

How I’ve learned to break away from the internet is not having anyone to talk to,cant think of anything to look up,cant stand to sit anymore and my body screaming at me to move,and my OCD that came along with my adhd med,lol.

If I sit to long like over 1-2hrs with out moving really my legs start to hurt and it forces me to want to move.

Then also I cant stand if i feel the floors r dirty or the sink is full where u cant use it so then i’ll do the dishes.

I hope anything i said here could help.

@blackdog I should have added the fact that during that time I was like 4yrs old when the IQ test happend.I’m a pre-school drop out which to me now i laugh because it’s not something you hear a lot,lol.Why I had to was when I was like 3yrs old I ended up getting pneumonia and after that just kept being to sick so I ended up having to stop going.Then she let me try again which since I was 4yrs old I’m able to remember some memories from when I was in pre-school.The teacher said I was a demon child,lol. I remember being sent to the corner and punished and the one reason i remember.It was story time and we would sit around on this big rug and I had this idea wondering how fast i could spin my hands around each other.So I did it and the teacher got on to me and said i was going to hurt someone.Then the other times I remember her dragging me to the car and going like “Did you know what your daughter did today?!”

I don’t know about anyone else but honestly seems like the SAT and ACT are 100% not ADHD/ADD friendly,lol. Since it’s like a 4 hour long test,like 60 questions in each subject,and having like 1hr or something minute to answer each.

Well the number one thing I hate about doing college is some that say you have to do these core classes that have nothing to do with what career your going for.

I didn’t do very well in school as well and it was a struggle most of the time.Not because I’m not smart or anything just couldn’t focus or care to study.

In pre-school my mom and the school had me do an IQ test and It showed my mind was a little behind everyone else.Then later in 3rd grade I came really close to failing it all together.My mom then had me put on adderall and every Wednesdays I would go to  sylvan learning center.That really helped me bring up my grades and my mom told me I said to her that I could finally remember things and felt smarter.Also in elementary school I was put in special ED classes.In the 5th grade I had gotten taken out of special ED because I ended up to smart for it,lol.So then I was put back into regular classes.In 6th grade i stopped taking adderall because it started to make me feel depressed the older I got.Then high school I didn’t take any meds at all and I know now if i was taking vyvanse I would have had better grades because I would have been more focused and would have liked studying more.

Now the only challenge is trying to do college,lol.
