Ok, This is my problem I know that I have adhd I closely keep this to myself, I am not one to like to tell everyone my problems however, because of my adhd I do things I cannot control, like blurting things out that I should not be saying, I go from the life of a party to quite and shy like immediatly, but now I have no friends cause they think I am a complete crazy women. Should I tell these people what is wrong or just keep it to myself. I cannot figure it all out.

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=5]Hi Kruegerma, :D I don't see any need for mere acquaintences knowing personal information, like that but I think if it's a close friend I would be more inclined to confide in them. If they are genuine friends they will be grateful you trusted them enough to confide in them. So-o-o, it really depends on your feelings about your friends and how close and deep those bonds are. Also if your friends reject and ridicule you for confiding that you have A.D.D. or any other condition I would certainly question the sincereity of their friendship. To me, A true friend loves unconditionally. A true friend makes us feel good about ourselves. A true friend is loyal and accepts us for who we are. A true friend is better than all the gold in th world and a true friend is one in whom we can confide and fear no rejection. Kruegma, I hope this helps put things in prespective for you. :)

That's me, Odd-Scrooball :) :cool: :D ;)

Good Luck!

I sort of now how you feel, and the only thing I can say is do what's right for you.

Thanks you guys, This has really helped me allot...and you are both very right. I think I am just gonna keep to myself and let them think what they want. Thanks again!!!

Hi Kruegma , Glad to be of help!:} I know for me life and its confusing situations can make it really hard to know what to do. Remember a true friend accepts us for who and what we are-Not what they would like us to be.:}


That's me, Odd-Scrooball :} ;}

I cannot figure it all out.I can really relate to what you are saying. the up and downs can be really scary, not only for the ones around me but for me also. My meds help a lot, but I still ride the rollercoaster and probably always will. As far as telling people, a pastor of mine gave me good advice about what we should and should not share, simply he stated do not bleed in the waters if there are sharks about. most of the people dont have a need to know personal things. If you have some people that are close and you know you can trust them then share. It is always good to have people in your corner. good luck with things and let us know how things are going.

Hi, I too can sooo relate!! I don't know if it's part medication, part passage of 40 something, I don't know, but along with the wise advice you have already received the following has worked for me at times . I was given this gift by a mentor, " It is none of my business what other's think of me." What?? Remember, I said it has worked for me at times. It takes some getting used to and depends on what I blurted out of my mouth too!! LOL
