i'm Lloyd. I'm new and I just got diagnosed and I sometimes can't think and other times I'm really nervous and jumpy. What can I do to calm down?

(this isn't his real name, he wanted a "fake one" like everyone else.

ANy advice for the little guy?

Sincerely, Fuzzybrain

I find that if I lay down in a quiet dark place that it settles down my nerves and jumpiness sometimes.  okay - turning the keyboard over to my 11 year old ....

Hi Lloyd.  I'm Fred (not really! hahaha).  If I feel nervous I like to run or play basketball.  Then I'm tired and it makes me feel calmer.  I like to run before I do my homework now and then it doesn't take me so long.  I run 2 miles with somebody in the family.  It is not fun at first but I feel really great after I'm finished.  bye.
I find that if I just sit down in my room and listen to my music

Yes running is great. In high school I used to leave school and run into town then return for the afternoon. I still do this today at work. Most people take lunch breaks I go out and run. The only way I can get through the day.

Oh and the other great energy burner I use is wrestling with my dogs. We run around and play in the yard or at the park for hours. They love all the attention and excercise and I feel better after running around..

My 9 year old love basketball.  When he comes home & needs help focusing to get his homework done, he shoots baskets.  The great thing is he just tried out for the basketball travel team & made it!  Not bad for one of the shortest kids in the 4th grade. 

If you have any other questions, & you would like, I will let my son answer them in his own words.

Hi!
I agree with "Fred" running really helps sometimes! I run and sometimes, and other times I take my bike for long rides. Sometimes people are looking at me as if I was crazy or something (wonder why )when I go back inside, and suddenly feels like taking my bike for another ride just after two minutes or something.
It's always better to go out and be active than sitting inside and let the energy build up! My mind is always somwhere else than it should be... it's really frustrating!
Go running!!!!! sometimes something and other times something or sometimes something else! I'm not very good in choosing words... that's for sure
