Getting Hyper getting on my nerves | ADHD Information

Diagnosis is the first part. Education is important. Read up on what has
helped others. But also train yourself. Get a coach, or a therapist, or a
councilor, or something.

You need to learn in your conscious mind, but also train your mind
differently. Meds can help, but "pills don't teach skills." You need to work
on skills. Also you have to forgive yourself - it's hard, and the self
loathing we all get as a result of ADHD doesn't help. Learn from your
mistakes, but don't beat yourself up over them.

Good luck. Start with some simple things - if you are going out in the
evening, try going for a run or a walk a little before hand to give your
body a work out to help remove some of the extra energy.

...and talk to people! We've been there/are there, too. We can help.

I'm 23 and far too full of beans! I'm sure you all know how it feels to be so full of energy the only way to get rid of it is to wait it out or you'd end up crashing your head against a wall, bouncing off a wall or crying like a baby. I'm lately getting really sick to death of it. Most of my friends are older than me by at least 7 years and are all quite grown up having babies and settling down. At parties, I get so full of evergy I feel like i'm making an embarrassment of myself and i feel like crying the next morning. I know its the same old 'square peg round hole' theory and that my friends accept me for being a square peg but I want to be round. I want to be quiet. I want to make sense and have a real conversation but I talk crap crap crap. I litterally talk my stupid random thoughts and nobody understands me.

I try to hold it in at work but it makes me shake and makes the evenings with my poor long suffering boyfriend worse as he gets a big ball of energy to try and hug up to after work!

Anyone know how to help me calm down???

eatmytry39414.2757638889Do you have a diagnosis? Are you on meds or anything?


Diagnosis but no meds. I decided from the start of persuing a diagnosis that I would first try educating myself before I thought about taking meds.
