    I control my impulses. I have all my life. I recently got diagnosed (no medication yet) and I got told I’m tired from dusk till dawn and sleep 10+ hours a day while Im capable of working for just a few because I spend all my energy controlling those impulses.

    Think of it this way. ADHD is not entitled cunts being lazy and making up a disease. ADHD is the same impulse that tells you not to turn your car into oncoming traffic being used to prevent you from doing some things.

      I know what ADHD is, I have spent 30 years working on controlling impulsive behaviors in my own treatment. I’m not always successful, but there are absolutely techniques that can help.

        Good for you kiddo. Everyone is different tho. Just cause some people can literally bend their joints backwards does not mean everyone can do that.

          Yes, people with ADHD all experience things differently. My experiences don’t invalidate the experiences of others.
