Lying...to my parents in particular | ADHD Information

ohhhh yeah! i do that too... its that extremely frusterating that they dont understand that ur not really trying to do it at all... it just kinda happens, even if theres no reason for it. ive told my mom like... the same exact example that u used about the movies and along with other little things and bad things. its stupid and indescribable. im really hardly ever able to go anywhere unless its with close friends that my moms known for a while and they usually have to come pick me up, unless my mom doesnt feel like arguing then she just lets me drive... i dont really know how to change it but at least i can tell u that i totally and completely 100 percent understand what ur talking about and how u feel, especially trying to explain it to other people..

Im new here and hoping you can help me.

I have been diagnosed with ADHD for a while now but never quite ready to admit it. I have never been the type to bounce off walls or blurt out things, but I do have some other ADHD symptoms. My biggest problem is that I always seem to have this lying problem. My parents dont trust me anymore becuase It has come to the point that I lie about everything. Stoopid things...like the other day I dyed my hair black and purple and my mom asked "did you just dye your hair??" and I totally denied that I dyed my hair, when it was OBVIOUS that I did. After I lied I just thought " why do i keep doing this thing." my mom says that im just doing it becuase i think shes stupid enough to believe me, but that is NOT true by any means. It just comes out naturally...probabably at least 4 times a week over things she'd care about and loads more over things that dont even matter...like id tell her i went to a movie with one of my friends instead of telling her i went to the movie with a different friend, when it really doesnt make a difference. So far my parents have taken most of my privlages away from me and they simply cant trust me. I dont know what to do and I really want to stop.

Please help...
