ADHD is a problem in my life because it makes me extra moody, energetic, and makes me have trouble focusing. To represent this I chose to put a ruined CD in my box. This is because on the side that faces up that people see the most it looks mostly normal like me. But on the other side it is messed up like me on the inside. The CD will never work correctly; it won’t play like regular CDs, like me. I will never work correctly, I will never be like normal people. The pills I take keep the symptoms at bay but it will never go away, just like that CD that can never be fixed. But I can live with it; I can move on and live a life unlike that CD which never got a chance. This is a problem that deserves to be in my box.
But it is part of me. If I got the chance to be free of it, I would say no. Whether I like it or not, it is part of me. It makes me who I am. If I got rid of it I would lose a part of me and I don’t want that. Also there are some good things that come out of it. It allows me to adjust my maturity level allowing me to connect to others, like little kids, better and it lets me think like them so I know what they want.
