| Omo ADHD Has Ruined My Life What’s The Cure ? by Goodmarlian(op): 9:43pm On Oct 05 |
Since childhood I have always being a forgetful, hyperactive and talkative person, no matter how hard I tried to control this condition and worst of it is am a very disorganized and overly emotional person no matter how hard I try to control this weakness it was to no avail it seems that just who I am. It has attracted so much criticism as a child that it destroyed my childhood because I lost my mom at the age of 7 she was our bread winner, so my family scattered up after her death so I went to live with my uncle and this condition really severed my relationship with my uncle's family because I was brought there to serve as a houseboy. I couldn’t live up to expectation as a houseboy I was also losing money when I am sent to market, I always forget what I was sent to buy so the insult on me was on a daily basis. I was a victim of verbal abuse for 3 years until it destroyed my self esteem totally, omo life has really being unfair to me I sometimes I regret being born into this cruel world. The worst part of my life was my teenage years, I lacked self esteem and suffered severe inferiority complex. I was a totally withdrawn teenager I always compared myself to my peers and saw myself as shit, nobody understood me, not even my family, they were even my worst critics. But all in all I believe I would have a better adulthood but that was a lie. I am an adult now in my early 30s and experience and exposure has taught me a lot and I have improved my self esteem and feel a lot better about myself to some extent but I notice that those traits still persist. I am still a forgetful, talkative and restless person. One day, I was scrolling through the TikTok pages and I discovered a video talking about the mental condition ADHD and it described my condition a 100 percent, that was the first time I knew I had a mental condition not normal. It has affected my relationship with people. The way I communicate and express myself was bad i have become a forced introvert and forced to stay alone because they wouldn’t like my personality. I discovered it doesn’t have cure so I feel suicidal. I wish death could just take me soon so I can get some eternal peace I don’t even care about eternity or reincarnation I just wanna fade off into oblivion.

I suffer from low self esteem before I discovered God. I will want you to try and discover God. If you know how much God loves you. You will not be talking down on yourself. Try to get a Christian book and begin to read it so that you can discover the power of God. |

The question remains who diagnosed him with ADHD in the first place! |

I am just like that.. It's so evident but some people, including some members of my family still question if I've been diagnosed.. One other point is the impulsive behavior. We make drastic decisions when too happy or too sad.. I wish there was a cure LordIsaac: |

I think Ritalin improves the condition, try and visit any good psychiatrist to help you. Unfortunately many Nigerian psychiatrists are half baked, the last time I visited one he gave me antidepressants when I complained of Attention deficit disorder. That rubbish medication did nothing for me, doesnt help that ADHD/ADD drugs cannot be gotten OTC. |

Goodmarlian:No cure. But therapy with a professional who works with ADHD can help. |

Goodmarlian:You have a personality disorder and not a biologically induced state . Yes, severe autism is biological due to brain hormone imbalance and chemistry we don't really understand but your case is just one of child hood trauma and shock. Psychiatry is by far the fakest science out there with 90% of whatever bs papers and diagnosis being just made up bs. You are presenting more of childhood trauma from the shock of losing your mum and material comfort you had . What of your dad? Normally, children raised by a single mother without a fatherly figure show this same behavioural traits . It takes two to raise a child and a man's role is very vital especially for a male child. Even in children raised in a two parent home but with, an absentee father who refuses to exert firm but loving guidance, also display such traits. Autism by the way is the very opposite of what you are describing. Autistic sufferers display extreme compulsive obsessive syndrome and can not multitask and have tunnel concentration which makes them have very good memories and recollection abilities. The only problem is that they obsesses over trivial issues I read of an autistic guy who could recall the weather forecast for every day back to when he was a child in the 70s. Autists are also great at trivial problem solving which makes them extreme geniuses in maths, computer programming , chess and other abstract sciences. You my friend are not autistic but rather suffering from childhood trauma. |

imdivergent:Most things are half baked in Nigeria. Doctors are almost always a waste of time. But he might have some luck with a therapist who specializes in it. |
| Re: Omo ADHD Has Ruined My Life What’s The Cure ? by oyoofong(m): 12:25pm On Oct 07 |
DMCA:Agreed,but that’s the major step!The rest is about intentionally and consciously working to overcome the negative effects associated with your diagnosis and live free from them. |

FSBoperator:I think he's talking of ADHD, not autism. Trust me, both are real. I've seen them. |

There is something like ADHD; no be Oyinbo talk. Na brain matter since you aren't a neurologist nor a psychologist nor a physiologist, you really need to mind the career you have chosen. Kukutente23: |

What can anyone tell you since you are the patient and doctor of yourself. The only thing i can tell you is that if a person has known his problem then that problem is half solved but taking your life to find peace as you say is self delusion there's no peace if you kill yourself. I personally do not say rest in peace to any suicide victim i usually heap curses on them because that is the most selfish thing to do so don't do that rather be yourself and let those who will not like you to not like you and live for those who like you just the way you are. Stop trying to seek acceptance from people rather consider them like you that thry don't even know that they have issues too and therefore projecting their own worldviews on you. And stop the self pity bro and enjoy your life that God gave you to the fullest. |

LordIsaac:You can self-diagose. No evil In that. You just need a professional to confirm it. |
| Re: Omo ADHD Has Ruined My Life What’s The Cure ? by JuanDeDios: 12:33pm On Oct 07 |
psalmsjob:Bolded is probably true. But stop heaping curses on them naa. |

You are not alone There are hundreds of thousands of Nigerians with more of this defect. However, it's a hopeless condition, you live with it like that. Religion, books, medication or therapist cannot change it. 10 diagnosed ADHD persons can have similarities but never the same layout of symptoms. It's a complex condition. You live with it. But you can be happy and have a fair life by deliberately.... Not giving a damn about anyone's thoughts and actions about you. We are the apples that fell far away from the mother tree. |

Goodmarlian:Accept Jesus into your life before death. Eternity is real wether you believe it or not. |
| Re: Omo ADHD Has Ruined My Life What’s The Cure ? by JuanDeDios: 12:36pm On Oct 07 |
dgitrader:True. I think it's the day to day challenges that can get in the way of making a living that make it really the hard to accept. That's why the suicide rate is high among neurodivergent people. In some countries, these problems are recognized and there's some assistance with university education and job placement and things like that. If you can eat and have decent shelter, if you can't make friends or form meaningful relationships, you accept it and live your life. |

Goodmarlian: seeking God will help .don't feel suicidal.

JuanDeDios:That's the scam. Psychiatry now has an autism spectrum diagnosis guide that even a normal 4 and 5 yr old displaying tantrums is diagnosed as autistics. Don't fall for it. BigJewishPharma in the US are making money by over diagnosing and misdiagnosing to get children to be placed on their poisonous medication. This has seen the US to have the highest diagnosed cases of autism . Only the US drugs their children in the name of mental health care which only benefits JewPharma. Americans are the most over medicated people to ever exist . They even have JewPharma advertising directly to them on TV programs 24/7. Have you asked yourself why it's only the US, UK , Australia and New Zealand that is having an epidemic of autism ? The answer is simply because JewPharma dictates medicine in these Jewish colonies. |
