Last time I explained or at least tried to explain how ADD feels like and how it affects ourselfs. This time I really want to flip the coin and see how the unconcerned person is affected.
The post is for every one that stands near a AD(H)D Person like parents, partner or even close friends, but also for the concerned person it can be helpfull, so you actually can understand how hard it can be for others to understand.
One thing that can be is that the AD(H)D person is forgetting the time or even appointments. They don't do it because they don't care or don't like you they just forgott. If there is a important appointments please remind us to set up an reminder or just remind us ^^
Another thing is, because we have such a big issue on concentrait and focusing we often have to ask same stuff again and again, we are very sorry for that really!
One thing is also, that we have sometimes mood swings. And because we don't understand them, we get angry.
So for an outsider, who hasn't ADD it can be quit irritating. Because we look like we don't listen or/and aren't intressted. Also sometimes in one moment we are extreamly happy and full of joy and the next moment every thing sucks and we are sad. And sometimes we get angry and freak out. Then we can't controll ourselfs, we just see red. That can lead to just shouting aroung or cring or even (especially when it is a child) flail around. After we freaked out let us some time to cool down, especially whene we walk away. Normally we will regret what we sad or what we have done. But when the ADD person worked on him/her self the amount of "outbreaks" decrease and can get to nearly zero.
So in fact our behaviour affects and mystify the "outsider". We can be very nerve-racking, BUT also we can be very faithful, empathetic and it never gets boring aroung us ;)
Hope I could explain how the people without ADD feels like around ADD affected.
