When my daughter (11 yrs. old) is involved in big events with alot of "stuff" going on, after a while she will seperate herself from it and find a quiet place to be alone for a while. Maybe if you made a plan to spend an hour each day by yourself to sort of get grounded it would help. This is a good opportunity for you to be responsible for your ADHD.
hey people!
You know what? ... You all are really great people!
Well, I am going to the Big Youth Theatre Festival (BYTF '05) this year because I am now 18 and so had a say of whether i felt able enough to go. (previously my parents have said no because of my ADHD and they were worried about my behaviour away from them for 4 days!)
Well, I want it to all be really good, but I know what my parents are on about. Being on camp means, lack of structure, schedule and general disapline. I will have freedom! But I'm worried incase it takes over me and I go all impulsive and start being 'naughty'. I don't want to be bad at camp but am worried about coping with such changes to my daily lifestyle.
I need tips asap as I leave for festival on this thursday. please reply fastly!
Ohhhhhhh slowwwwwww down. Take it a bit slower than you are now. You are soooooo excited and rightfully so but lemme' ask..do you take meds? If so; don't forget them and don't forget to take them while away and JUST HAVE FUN! You are always free...just remember...you are a lady.Get a small pocket notebook and start making lists of things you want to do, not to do, not to forget etc. anything that you think might help you. refer to it often!
Casey,hey i'm new and all to this site, teen that just needs some outside oppinions/advise.
Okay so I have recently had many concussions and i'm having all the "bi-polar symptoms" and am having alot of very depressed days. I can't really get medication cause my mom hates any medication, and all that stuff. Its getting to a bad point and yesterday was a bad day for me, and I'm not in control of many of my actions or emotions. I tryed to overdose on about 6 adderall pills and like 3 anti-depressanst. I didn't expect really anything after an hour or somthing but its been about 26hours now, and i'm feeling funny- common symptoms (i've been trying to find info but the internet sucks). Um so does anyone know how long this stuf takes to get out of your system or if it like doesn't? or what i should do? I know I should get help or something but if it'll fade, i rather not get everyone here all over-upset.
omg sorry hah i don't know how these things work and i'm kinda "out there" ~~sorry!
Casey90: I am 'not' sure it will just wear off. Pleaseeeeeee tell SOMEONE now what've you done. It 'might' wear off this time; but what about next time???? Dear we love you and don't even 'know' you...so I feel sure that IF you just tell your mother 'how' you REALLY feel and what you've REALLY done then HELP is FOR SURE on the way for you. God bless you and yours. Pleaseeeeeee go tell your mom NOW! If you don't it could damage something neurogically.
