Yes, I have ADHD

When I tell people that I have ADHD I just know that some of their first thoughts are "everyone thinks they have ADHD, it's just in your head."

I have to say I agree. It is in my head and that is the problem. But one thing that is important to know is that it is an imbalance that at times I really don't have control over.

ADHD is real and sometimes it takes more than just controlling your thoughts.

I always wonder how it is that people can sit and focus on one thing for hours at a time. Or how they just relax and not think about anything. Or how they can put a thought or idea they had on the back burner and not think about it until it is time.

I found out last fall that I am an extreme case of ADHD. After looking into it further my life makes so much sense!

Finally I realize that I am not dumb, I am not lazy, or a failure. I just now understand that I am a little different than others and I just need to find my niche and figure out how I am going to turn this "weakness" to a strength (Ether 12:27).

Let's journey together to better understand ADHD. Do you have any good information?
