Hello and thanks for stopping by my blog. My name is Andy and I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was in 3rd grade. I also have an I.E.P from being in LD classes in school. I don’t know why but my parents never really talked with me about having ADHD and I really wish they did. I’m not blaming anyone for how my life turned out neither. Not knowing why I did certain things made it hard making the right decisions in life. If I would’ve understood what having ADHD can do I could’ve recognized those impulsive decisions and stopped myself before jumping right in head first without thinking of the consequences. I grew up living all over the United States being a military brat. I loved the places ive been and the people I’ve made friends with. The only down side was having to make new friends every 3 to 4 years. Since 14 skateboarding and snowboarding was my outlets. Until 2010 I was hit by a car as a pedestrian. The person that hit me was texting and going 45mph. After that everything went downhill. I can no longer work, skateboard, snowboard basically do anything physical.
Having ADHD it’s like putting a fat kid in a candy store and all the candy is off limits. On top of it all these past 2 yrs I lost the only true friends I had and the 1 by my side for 13 yrs my dog Smokey and just a few months ago I lost my brother to depression. Writing about things is the only way I found To get all this off my chest instead of letting it build up. And after losing my dog I volunteer at an animal shelter fostering dogs. I have a huge heart for animals and seeing some of these dogs go from never knowing what being loved is To being loved its truly amazing and very hard when seeing them go to there forever family. But that’s what makes it worth it knowing all these amazing animals being loved for the rest of their life. I’m still in shock about my brother and I’m having a hard time accepting he’s gone. To the parents that have children with ADHD talk to them about it and work together in finding the right key for them to succeed in life. In my blog I’ll be sharing true stories, struggles, addiction and more to give people that don’t understand what its like to struggle with ADHD everyday. And if my blog helps just one person, family whoever then I’ll know this was worth all the effort. Thank you and if you like my blog please subscribe so you don’t miss anything new and know I really appreciate all the support.
