The Pain of my clients

The pain of some ADHDers that have come to me…

I think I’m broken

I am always late for things

I am so frustrated with the world and myself

I can’t finish anything

I just can’t sit still

My parents don’t understand me

I don’t understand me

I don’t have any friends

I don’t like or love myself

I am constantly interrupting people

I’m just not where I’m supposed to be

I don’t know how to study or what my teachers want from me

My feelings are always getting hurt

I can’t make decisions and it drives me crazy

I never think through my decisions I am way too impulsive

I always wait until the last possible minute to get my work started

I think I’m an alien

I can’t ever get to sleep; I’m always thinking or analyzing something

I keep loosing interest in my partners

I haven’t files my taxes in 8 years

I can’t stand the way certain people talk to me

I hate waiting in line it just gets me so angry

I have terrible road rage; why don’t people know how to drive

I wonder if I’ll ever be able to keep a job, I am always getting fired

I am always so anxious- I always feel like I’ve forgotten to do something and everybody is judging me

I have problems getting along well with people of my own sex I much prefer the opposite sex

I know what people are thinking about me and they don’t like me

I watch TV until the sun comes up and then I’m exhausted and can sleep

I stay up until all hours on the computer

I don’t know how to organize my work to get anything done

I don’t know what I should be working on or even how to get it started

I say horrible things to myself that if I said to someone else they would never talk to me again

I always have a enemy at work

There are so many thoughts in my head I don’t know what to focus on

I think terrible things about people in my head

I’ll start a new routine and get excited and then I’ll loose interest and get so hard on myself

I can do something for somebody else but I can’t do the exact same thing for me

I procrastinate about everything I have thousands of unfinished projects

I get completely lost in the detail of things and then the time is up on the project and I haven’t moved forward

I drink wine at night so I can unwind

I smoke week to calm me down and keep only one thought in my head

When I get angry it’s like “The Hulk” has taken over me

I never go away anywhere on vacation because I never get around to planning or saving for one

I have so much debt I see something and I just have to have it

I don’t know how to start a conversation

I have so many hobbies that I don’t know where to store the stuff anymore

My children have so many activities it feels like I spend all my time running around picking them up and dinner is always too late

My child is so angry it scares me sometimes

I wonder if my child will ever develop the skills to support himself when I’m gone. I don’t know what will happen to him

My kids hate each other so much it’s like a constant battlefield in the house and they just don’t listen to me anymore

I can’t follow conversations and I look like an idiot

My wife says I just don’t pay attention to her anymore

I am super sensitive to criticism and I get very defensive

If I’m not the best at something I feel like there is something wrong with me or I have failed

I don’t accept people’s compliments

I’ll be great at work for a month and be terrible the next month I am never consistent

I’m always getting lost, I can’t find my way anywhere

If my wife tells me how to drive I just get so irritated with her

I snap at my husband when he tries to correct me

I open up too much to people and often regret it

I am so sensitive in relationships that I end up sabotaging them

I have a dream but something is holding me back from reaching it or maybe I just don’t deserve it

It’s like I’m always daydreaming
