Who else is dealing with severe ADHD and not fitting in

Big Lee, people r avoiding u probably because they thought u r still the Big Lee which they know before u were on meds for ADHD. Being accepted back into social circles takes time & plenty of PATIENCE. Its not like going to the grocery store & say I want this, I want that etc. I would suggest u list out names of friends, cousins, nephews, uncles, aunties, neighbours whom u know r ''positive'' individuals & seek their help. Talk to them about ur feelings & listen carefully to their feedbacks. You know the saying: ''Ask & u will be given''.

Give it a try. But remember - P A T I E N C E. It may not happen by tomorrow, next week, next month etc, but it eventually will. Take inventor Benjamin Franklin as an example. He failed 1000 times before he eventually prevailed!

Now that you are feeling normal, the next step is to work on your social skills. There are many strategies to do this, some you can even do on your own, but my advice is that you seek a professional specializing in interpersonal psychotherapy. With this guidance, you will soon have many friends, even among those who wo not hang out with you at present.

Can you give us more details, like how old are you, are you in school, do you work, etc? Sometimes people get in ''lull's'' inbetween friends. Try to be a ray of sunshine, people are attracted to happy people. Laugh a lot, address people by their names ''Hey, ___, how are ya? join a group where people will be forced to be around you, like a team, etc. They will get to know you, etc.

Do not worry about who do not want to be around you. And stop saying nobody wants to hang with you, because that is what you will draw to yourself. Like they say be yourself, and smile!!

Just hang in there, be yourself & SMILE! It is great that ur feeling better. I am sure that will show in ur personality. You can not force friendships. My daughter has dealt with the same problem but she recently got married to someone just like her & they r soulmates. She says she never dreamed that would happen. Maybe get involved in some community or church activities. I think the fact that u r feeling ''normal'' is a great sign that things will start falling into place. Best wishes to you!
