It is impossible to be a kid with ADHD. You have all this energy, but you have to learn to control it. You’re different from other people, and some might not like it. You’re active, but you are too competitive. You like to fidget, but some people find it distracting. You can make friends, but you might annoy them. You might be nice, but you have a short fuse. You’re just a kid, but they expect you to have everything figured out. You must learn to keep all your energy bundled up, but sometimes it’s too hard.
Your whole life is a struggle and you can’t ask for help. You don’t know what is wrong with you, and that can follow you for the rest of your life. People expect you to know what’s wrong and find a way to fix it. Your eyes wander and people think you’re a creep. Everything is hard and you have to learn to live with it. No one believes you can do anything because of your energy.
It’s not easy to live with it. You can’t learn to control it immediately. Some people never learned how to control, while some people make it seem like walking. You never know what’s going on inside our heads, and you can’t expect us to tell you. We hide our emotions so well that only people we know can tell something is wrong. We push it so far down that it starts to affect our everyday life. There is no cure and no one knows what causes this to happen. If you expect us to know what is wrong, then you have no clue who we are. You can’t judge us because you think you know what to do. No one knows what’s wrong and we may never know. I don’t know what’s wrong, and I might never find out.
