Is this another sign that I might have ADHD?

Question

I have never been good at making FRIENDS, I have aquantences but no real friends. THis year I asked this why ppl don;t want to be my friend and she replied"You can get REALLY annoying, you just too hyper and that aggravates people, maybe you should take a chill pill." Then I tried to explain to her that I tried the whole chill pill thing but it never seemed to work. I am in high school and I am having trouble with this and I feel so left out. What dod you think, please no rude comments, I get enough of those from school.

Answer 1

I have ADHD to and from experience I can tell you just chill and dont be so hyper. Just relax. go with the flow. If you find your self being hyper just breathe deep. Your can also go to your doctor and get pills to help (this should be a last resort). Dont talk to much.

Answer 2

There are reasons other than ADHD for having difficulty with social interactions and relationships and ADHD is not the first reason I'd think of. Have your parents noticed the problems you're having???? You've stated you "tried the whole chill pill thing" and that it didn't work. Does this mean you've already tried prescribed medications for ADHD? If so, then you may not have it. Talk to your parents and ask them to arrange a consultation with a psychologist. You need to be correctly diagnosed before anything else can be done.

Answer 3

I went all through high school with ADHD and trust me it was horrible having to sit through classes. However what was more horrible was the mentality of a lot of the other students who were so afraid to be deemed unpopular that they went out of their way to be mean to others to impress their so called friends. Trust me once you get out of that nasty environment you will start making lot of friends. If I were you I would look into some clubs either at school or at another venue. I was loved in clubs like drama and photography because I had a great deal of energy and was very creative because my mind worked a million miles a minute. Once you find you niche in life it will be easier to make friends with those that share the same interests as you do. You are probably not really annoying just that you need to hang out with people that would seriously appreciate your good attributes. Don't worry high school passes quickly and all those mean people fade into banality where they belonged in the first place. God bless and have a great holiday.

Answer 4

SUGAR DOES NOT CAUSE ADHD. That is an old wives tale. If you tried medication for ADHD prescribed by a doctor, then maybe you need to try a different kind. I would suggest seeing a therapist, as they will be able to tell you more than one can find out during a one paragraph question.

Answer 5

This is the best advice that i can give you and that is the foods that you eat effects your behavior trust me i used to be much like you! What you need to do is to stay away from Sugar, Stay away from corn syrup. Sugar is one of the main things that causes ADHD and also ADD. Eat very fresh fruits and very fresh vegetables (not cooked, You can use salad dressing if you want) and drink only water, stay away from soda!

Answer 6

You sound like a nice person with some problems. However my theory is "the only normal people I know are people I don't Know very well.". Everybody has problems dear.

Answer 7
