Why Everyone Isn't a Little ADHD

Let’s be honest there is way more apathy than empathy, and in a world with so much progress, we really shouldn’t let backwoods narrow minded beliefs. Have so much credibility in our world, here’s a quote from the attached article I’ve written on the way adhd affects my life.

“For me, anyway, having ADHD is like walking one step in front of a rain cloud, two steps in front of a thunderstorm [and], three steps in front of a tornado. Forgetting things, making careless errors, being confused. … these things can create havoc! The important thing I’ve learned is to accept errors as quickly as I can, remedy the situation, issue an apology as needed…. and keep moving forward. After all, the sky is clear and the sun is shining up ahead!

Having ADHD is a lot more complicated than a poor attention span, it’s more like your attention span is so great that you hear and see everything around you. To the point of focusing on the small things is next to impossible.”

Making statements such as that person is so bipolar or everyone is a little ADHD. Does absolutely nothing other than taking away from the seriousness of something that is very serious. It’s makes people who suffer every single day of their lives, feel as if there issues are nothing more than a punch line in someone’s joke. 

In conclusion we should try seeing the world around us from other people’s perspectives. While at the same time take ownership of the things that we do that directly and indirectly affects others. Especially when all we need to do is understand something instead of making it into a joke. That small little change can honestly save a person’s life.

Why religion isn't always the answer

How many people heard things such as Prayers are the best therapy  That they are to blame for their mental health issue  And many other things  Religion just like everything else when it's taken as a replacement for actual treatment, it can be very harmful.  "Let’s look at a few of the unhealthiest beliefs that can be found in many religions.

What I Wish My Family Knew About Me and my Adhd

Growing up in a household that ADHD was considered a character defect, really wasn't all that fun. Especially when you try over and over again to explain how the stigma often attached to having ADHD, has such a harmful effect on you, and the only result was either getting smacked or being made to feel as if it was your fault. Even though society has come a long way in certain things, when it comes to mental health issues there really hasn't been as much change as there should be. People still have a very narrow minded and uneducated mindset, when they view mental health problems for what they really are. Which is a valid medical condition, and absolutely nothing else, it's especially important for parents and basically anyone who shapes the mind of a child who is diagnosed with a mental health issue. They can either give that person the skills they need to succeed in life, or do things and say things that cause mild to severe long term damage.  Throughout that individual
