ADHD???

Sun, 22 Jun 2025 14:10:31 +0000

Hi! So um… i looked at the DSM-5 again, and it turns out i match almost all of the symptoms required to be diagnosed with predominantly inattentive attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. While a couple of these COULD be explained by anxiety, a lot of them seem to be on their own.

So if i do, could someone help explain what the diagnostic process is like?

1 year!!

Heya y’all! It’s me again, Lemony!

It’s been officially 1 year since my first post here on KidzTalk!! I’ve grown so much, it’s kinda crazy. But it also feels like no time at all! I’ve made friends, and even convinced some of my real life friends to join! It’s sure been a journey, from my first *gags* “art” piece I posted to what I make now, and mentally too. I’m in a bit of a rough spot right now, but I’m trying my hardest and you can bet all your sour patch kids I’ll stay here as long as I can! I’ve invited a haikyuu friend I made on Among Us to join the community too, so if you see this, HI KENMA!!! I know our community’s a little different than other socials, but we’re all friendly and would love to have you here! To also go along with the theme of my first post, happy ADHD awareness month! It’s been a year and I took another test two weeks ago, still waiting for results. It’s been a long journey and I honestly kind of envy the people who can get a diagnosis so easily. Thank y’all for being here every step of the way.

This one I made about KNG.

Why did you have to leave me?

I only have memories to hold onto

They're so tangible, I cover myself with them, like a blanket...

But, with time, the blanket fades

Leaving me shivering in the cold

Objects are memories.

The small gifts you gave me,

a mechanical pencil, a drawing of a dragon

I treasure every conversation

Our interactions locked in my mind, replay like a music box

My thoughts are caged, I can't let people see the roaring lion within

Maybe this is why I cry into my pillow every night

I cared for you more than anyone else, at the time

I stayed when nobody else would

You toyed with my feelings

Tried to change me into the friend you wanted

And like dried clay, when you tried to change my form, I cracked

You cast me away like an unwanted toy

When you realized I was too fragile, that I always needed someone to hold onto

Left my heart shattered in a thousand pieces

With only objects for memories.

Here’s one about how I feel inside during class.

Sitting still? Psh, what’s that?

Foot wiggles restlessly, or else

fingers start drumming piano rhythms on the table

If I have a clicker pen, look out.

Teacher says to take notes

She drones on endlessly about graphing undefined slopes, multiple-step equations, and the like

I doodle on the paper

My thoughts spilling out through the lead of my pencil

Doodles from inside the rainbow realm of my mind

A dolphin in a fedora, a cupcake with wheels, a flashlight shining light onto a shadow of a bunny

I think about recess, about y’all here on KT, about my dog...

A downward spiral and my focus succumbs to zero

Totally zoned out, immersed in my realm with music playing in my head

What? Class is already over?

ADHD explained IN DEPTH!

Fri, 29 Nov 2019 16:58:48 +0000

Soo... I know that LLM did a type show on this, and I have briefly explained it many times, but I’d like to give you the full version of what ADHD really is.

First of all, ADHD is NOT a disease! It’s a learning difference. It really ticks me off hen people refer to it as that, because it makes it seem like a bad thing. It really isn’t!

ADHD has three subtypes. Inattentive subtype, which means you have mostly innatentive issues but some hyperactivity, if only a little. this subtype is often confused with ADD, but ADD has no hyperactivity symptoms. Then there’s Hyperactive subtype, which means you have mostly hyperactivity issues but some inattentive issues as well. Finally, there’s combined subtype. The most commonly diagnosed type of ADHD, but probably not the most common. The other two are just harder to discern, because inattentive is hard to tell from the outside, and hyperactive could be taken as just “being a child”.

The diagnosing process is pretty complicated and doesn’t happen in an instant. It can take many interviews and formal tests to get a true diagnosis, but once you get the diagnosis, you can get prescribed medication to help.

The most commonly prescribed medicines for ADHD are Adderall and Ritalin, and some other ones with really long names I can neither spell nor pronounce. Another thing that can benefit ADHD people is aromatherapy. Peppermint oil is used to help focus, and lavender can be very calming. I tried this method, and it didn’t really work for me. It’s different on different people though. Another thing that people try is therapy. I myself have not undergone this so I can’t really give any insight here on this one, but many people swear by it.

Random facts! October is ADHD awareness month. Orange is the color of the ADHD ribbon, along with a couple other disorders/diseases that I don’t remember. Comment below if you’re ADhD or think you might be!

Congratulations to you if you read down this far. *throws stuffed animal at your head* that’s your present! Jk. *hugs*

That’s all for now, I might post more later because my blog will mostly have four things:

1: stuff that happens in my life

2: stuff about furries

3: stuff about ADHD

4: art!

See y’all later!
