Daily Tip: ADHD is like a bad haircut

So you got a bad haircut. Whom do you blame? You could blame the hairdresser, or you could blame yourself. Does it really matter? Well, you could try and fix the lousy haircut, or you could show it off for all the world to see. Perhaps you could cover your hair with a hat or else you could style your hair in a way to conceal the rough haircut. The best thing is to not try to explain away the problem but to deal with it head-on!
That is learn to cope with your situation by taking responsibility for every action you undertake and decide in advance not to get caught up in a downward spiral of alcohol or drug abuse, and self-pity. If you feel you need professional help, then you should get some.
If you don't want a psychiatrist sticking his nose in your business, then maybe you need to simplify your life and adapt to your general state of mind. The most important thing is to get your mood in order. Try to stay upbeat, cheerful and relaxed. Don't let anyone or anything rattle your chain. It is a big wide world out there, and if your current friends arn't helping then perhaps you need to seek out mentors and role models to inspire you to excel in those mixed blessings that ADHD brings you. Perhaps you are artistic, musical, witty or contemplative. Why not blog? Why not jog? Release all that pent-up energy in productive ways, and find your way out from the stressors that drive you batty.
