ADD/ADHD is sometimes called a "hidden disability." It seems that most people are not readily aware of our ADD/ADHD. Our disability has its roots in biology as well as behavior, and half the time, we don't even understand why we act the way we do! After hearing for years that we are lazy, daydreamers, impulsive - and possibly other things that we can't print here! - no wonder we have suffered in the self-esteem department. Just how do we overcome that in order to feel good about ourselves?
1. Search positivism in yourself when you suffer from ADD/ADHD which is simply a part of life. Always believe in optimistic attitude to weaken pessimism. Although you may not realize it but your personality have lots of strengths which keep you going.
2. Build structure into your life. If you find that you have trouble getting things finished or getting organized to begin with, set up a routine for yourself. This will get you in the habit of staying on task and being timely. It will also provide you with a confidence boost every time you complete a task!
3. Do proper breathing. Usually ADD sufferers turn impulsive and work in haste but the next moment regret for doing blunders. Embarrassing situations come when you realize your act had actually offended someone. Prepare yourself through some breathing and gathering of thoughts before a reaction. A preferable option can be taking time and requesting someone to offer you opportunity for appropriate response. You will have enough time to think before responding. It will also help you from doing mistakes. You will not need to say sorry later.
4. Keep trying for the betterment. In case your symptoms are not in the manageable position go for proper treatment strategies. Remember that the treatment methods for your ADHD son or ADD friend might differ from the one applied by you. One of the typical aspects of ADD/ADHD is that it works differently from one person to the other. Have your own queries and workout proper research before fining out proper professional support.
5. Keep comic relief in priority and laugh at yourself to gain self confidence. Having ADD symptoms is not a big deal. Other's sufferings may be more serious than yours. None is left out of problematic situations. You may not be perfect in your attitude. It doesn't mean you are at the down side. Look for an option which is best to manage ADD. Search for the best means but don't ever keep yourself at the loggerheads.
Have proper counseling if you observe that your self-esteem has actually gone down due to repeated observations over a particular period. It becomes tough to look into the matters in different perspective. But it is the major aspect which you must follow. Your positive attitude keeps you balanced and you feel relieved after attaining confidence. This makes you happy and cheerful. Don't give an opportunity to your poor self-esteem to overpower your personality. - 30309
