Hello, I’m Stephanie and I have ADHD. Well I guess you know that if you are following this page. However, what you may not know is, I have impulsive ADHD. Heh heh. It is quite frustrating.

You can often find me fidgeting with something. I bite my nails at times (Wash my hands afterwards) I rub the skin off of my hands. I pick at something that doesn’t look like it belongs (Like peeling paint)

I am most forgetful. I forget what I was supposed to do going from one room to another. If you give me instructions, you better make sure I repeat them or, you may not get the results you were looking for.

It may not seem I am always listening when spoken to. Imagine you and I are at opposite ends of a tunnel. You are trying to talk to me and I am trying to listen while children are laughing, colourful balloons are floating past me. Music is playing in the background, meanwhile your voice is an echo.

Talking nonstop unless redirected. This one is a fun one. At times I could talk forever. I don’t mean to it just sort of happens.

I at times Have trouble doing quiet tasks. When I read for instance, I move side to side. I kick my feet. I often will have music playing. There is also the clicking pen I will use while talking out the quiet lonely situation by myself.

I like touching things and figuring things out. My brother’s water fountain, I had to touch it. The floors texture, I like dragging my feet across it when I walk. When I play the guitar, I can’t stand a pick because I can’t “Feel” the music.

I will sometimes walk in a big circle to bring my focus back. I also like speed walking down the halls at work looking at everything down the hall. I observe the whole picture before I can see the smaller ones.

I am the ultimate klutz. I bang into objects like doors or hand rails. I have tripped on thin air. I have sprained every finger on both hands. I am more than sure I sprained the same ankle thirty times in one winter (My foot is kind of crooked now).

I am very impatient. Waiting for people to finish their sentences is probably the most exasperating moments of my life. When I know I am supposed to be somewhere, I want to just leave. I don’t want to tidy this first, I want to go.

I will think first and act later. I wanted chicken once and my brother wanted it but I called it first. I spat on it. This is okay for a three year old, I was 25. It was mine, I claimed it…my mother wasn’t impressed.

If Blurting out thoughts was a sport, I may just win. I have announced things that I shouldn’t like when my next menstrual cycle should be. I am working on this impulse but at times it just doesn’t work.

Interrupting conversations! Well, that’s me. During conversations, when one speaks, sometimes I am six thoughts ahead of where they were and just want them to know where I am. It is killing me inside. The alternative is me having something valuable to say but being afraid I will forget it if it doesn’t come out RIGHT NOW!

So reader, these behaviours may hit home. You may think you have it or are diagnosed. Please realize that these “symptoms” are part of you but not who you are.

There are ways to work through them. To work with ADHD, you have to OWN IT
