Arcturus, Betelgeuse, Black Hole???

Arcturus: Have you cried out of something other than sadness? 

Totally. I’ve cried from happiness, lonliness, nostalgia, stress, and what I’ve cried about most was frustration. People are frustrating.

Betelgeuse: What’s something you can never forget about?

Anything is forgettable with Amnesia! :D

In all seriousness, I caaaaan’t forget summer camp when I was 14. That was the summer that changed my life yo.

Black Hole: What’s the last thing you want to see? 

The wording confuses me. Does this mean the last thing I want to see like before I die, or go blind? Or like, what do I want to see least of all?

Last thing I’d like to see before I die is one of my picture from when I was little 

Last thing I’d WANT to see ever period is intense gore/carnage in front of me. It might be cool in movies and books, but I’m way too squeamish to actually see that

I have experienced most of the symptoms listed in ways that range from annoying to debilitating. However, they've only become a real issue during the past couple years. Is it possible that it'd been easier to manage when I was a little younger? I understand that as a teenager (14) I'm "going through a lot of changes." But I think ADHD might actually be the root of the problem.

Hormonal fluctuations from adolescence and/or the menstrual cycle can definitely make ADHD symptoms worse. However, the main reason that people with ADHD suddenly fall flat as teenagers is that our social, academic, romantic, and financial responsibilities multiply rapidly at that age. Our poor slow-developing ADHD brains just can’t keep up!

If you had many ADHD symptoms before the age of 12 but they didn’t really interfere with your life, then, yes, you should probably be evaluated for ADHD. If you are experiencing symptoms now but don’t remember experiencing symptoms before the age of 12, you should still probably be evaluated. You might not have ADHD, but something–anxiety, sleep problems, depression, etc.–is going on and can be treated.
