I was born in Philippines and moved here when i was 13.. So right when i get to my teenager life.. i had to suffer the most pain in ones life, something that would change his or her life for the rest of time. New people, New place and New Life..When i got here, i was really depressed.. I have thought of suicide but i did not want to commit something that hurt alots to me.. As the years go by, i remained quiet in schools which is the completely opposite of me when i was in philippines. After getting used to this lifestyle.. I developed something terrible.. When people talk to me.. i loss the willingness to understand or pay attention and just zoned out.. and in result i often say "What?" making my friends think im stupid.. I dont think before i speak which really annoyed people.. I say stuffs that hurt others but i dont recognize that i hurt them until i watched their eyes.. I regret it because it wasnt the real "me" who was talking.. I never really thought i had ADHD until today [Tuesday, June 21 2011], i always thought that i couldnt speak english or understand but when i go to facebook, i have the best grammar and the one who only type in complete sentence. So I was confused if I dont know English or was it something else? Well i wonder how i will notify my mom about this.. Because i really want this to be out of my life so i could live it..

Hi JNikz, Welcome to PC! I'm sorry that you've been going through a rough time. Sometimes the symptoms of a mental illness are similar to the symptoms of another illness, or when dealing with one illness, the stress and anxiety can actually aggravate another. If your physician has diagnosed you with ADHD, I bet your parents will be happy that you are doing something to learn to deal with it, so that you can be happy.

Good luck with this new diagnosis, slow
