“Stephanie, open the door. Please!”

“Josh, shut up. You broke up with me!”

Will Stephanie’s heart finally slam open the door and take her ex boyfriend back,

Or will her heart make him wait and keep knocking?

Stay tuned after the words from our sponsor…”

 

DO YOU HAVE MINOR ADHD?

Minor ADHD is like a waterfall of energy spewing out of your body.

It’s not major, but you can’t really control it.

 

Running on all fours like a dog playing fetch,

With bruises on my arms and knees,

People think I’m a slut for it. 

But those bruises tattoo me. 

 

Losing my focus,

Like I lost my son or daughter at Chuck E Cheese’s

And I forget what we were talking about while I’m talking about it,

People think I’m dull.

But I’m just as loveable as Dory.

 

Laughing so much even if it’s not funny,

I laugh at myself when people laugh at me

Because no one is actually laughing with me. 

People think I’m weird. 

But laughing is good for exercise. 

 

I look happy.

I look happy all the time.

But deep down inside my body wants to throw itself away.

My body wants to be crushed by the garbage truck

And set on fire with all the ashes and smoke popping out of the remains of me…

But guess what?

My energy will still be alive.

 

My energy keeps telling me 

“Don’t be stupid Stephanie, I control you.”

My energy slaps me in the face

And forces me to talk loud,

Louder than a lion…

Honestly,

Louder than a bomb.

 

I look happy.

I look happy all of the time.

I just smile 

Even when I have tears in my eyes

Because I have to,

The barrel of the gun sits on my cheek…

With my energy’s hand on the trigger

My energy tells me,

“Smile Stephanie, or I’ll be taking over.”

 

I laugh so much even if it’s not funny,

I laugh at myself when people laugh at me

Because my energy takes out a knife and puts the cold blade on my throat

And whispers in my ear,

“Laugh Stephanie, or I’ll be taking over.”

 

I lose all my focus,

Like I lost my son or daughter at Chuck E Cheese’s

Because my energy tightens up the rope around my neck

Everytime I struggle to concentrate,

My energy yells at me,

“Focus Stephanie, or I’ll be taking over.”

 

I run on all fours like a dog playing fetch,

With bruises on my arms and knees,

I try to crawl away from my energy that has a plastic bag around my head

And my energy screams,

“Run Stephanie, or I’ll be taking over.”

 

Then my energy smirks at me

When I get too weak to control it,

My energy possesses my body as I stand there, defeated.

My energy controls me like I’m a puppet on their strings

And make me do certain things

That I can’t fight off.

 

And I keep telling myself,

This is why no one likes you.

This is why you’re not popular.

This is why people laugh at you, Stephanie,

Why are you so stupid to think that you are normal,

You are not normal.

 

And when I look in the mirror, I see my reflection

Brainwashed by my energy 

With a gun to my cheek,

A knife on my throat,

A rope around my neck,

And a bag around my head….

And it whispers to me… 

“It’s true Stephanie, I’ll be here forever.”

 

So running like a wild animal,

Getting distracted easily,

Laughing at myself,

And smiling all the time,

Are just a taste of symptoms

To Minor ADHD…. 

 

Minor ADHD is like a waterfall of energy spewing out of your body.

It’s not major, but you can’t really control it.

And if you relate to what I just said,

You may be a victim to Minor ADHD…
