ADHD and Sensitivity Gifting

by Carla
(Mountain Home, Arkansas)

I'm not big on writing so I'll just list some things that have happened to me in my life.

Diagnosed with ADD w/inattention at the age of 40.

> Was put on Adderal and kept a job for 2 1/2 years, a record for me.

> I felt a whole lot more confident on it.

< I was driving - a bit faster than I should have been
When what seemed like a dark cloud over came me.
It was so overwhelming I slowed down. Just ahead was a sharp corner and as I got to it there was a cop car and another car sitting in the road. They were just talking to each other. I hit the brakes so hard the ABS went out. If I hadn't slowed down, there would have been a bad wreck. I surly felt the Lord was watching over us that day.

< I was setting out side by our barn, and a jet flew over. I got this odd "feeling" of a plane crash. The next day or 2 there was a horrable plane crash on the news.

> I get these "feelings" sometimes.

> I can feel other peoples moods.
I know if they like me or not.
I know when someone is just not feeling there same ol'self. (Tired, sick, etc...)
I sometimes know if someone is a bad person.
(I got a bad feeling about a guy in a mortgage loan business. My Boss said he was an ok guy (My boss kinda new him) About 2 or 3 days later, My boss said I was right about that guy, there was an article in the paper that he had been arrested for child pornography.

> I remember in school I always stared out the window instead of pay attention to the teacher.

> If I get into an argument with someone it just stays with me for days or weeks, depending on how bad it was.
It's all I think about.

< I can not sleep because my brain just will not stop!

I have pretty bad depression, I'm dyslexic, Have these "feelings, and sense other peoples moods.

> I much rather be with my animals.

> I am more up set about an one of my animals death than a close relative. (I feel bad about that too).

I think just in the past year I have learned about being "Sensitive".

I could go on for days, But I'll spare you.

I am 40. I am a woman. I am adhd. I have naturally learned how to cope with who I am. I make lists...put them where I can find them, etc. However, I have always had an intuiitve/sensitive awareness to people and their nature. Sadly, it gives me a less than optimistic view of humanity. I get an impression of people within minutes. I can see that some people feel something from me and at times they are off balance from it and they are not sure why. But having that sense of others nature can make one feel isolated, misunderstood.

starstarstarstarstar 		What to do with Psychic Abilities
by: TJ Chambers

If you read this page http://www.adhdawareness.com/adhd-gifted.html then you would know that I find it very common for ADHD people to have this gifting.

I believe it is a sensitivity. We are sensitive to "spiritual" things, in our bodies, and emotionally.

With spiritual things, we see things, hear things, and know things that other people don't. We know things that happen in the future before they happen. These are good and bad gifts.

Our bodies are sensitive so when we eat things we shouldn't, our ADHD symptoms are worse. Sugar affects us really bad, much worse then other people.

Back to the psychic issue.

When you think about seeing things before they happen or knowing things that you shouldn't know, the only thing you can relate that to is a psychic ability. Psychics that are real pull information from other spiritual entities. They also try to communicate with the dead. These are the things that God says to stay away from.

The gifting we have is not like that. We are not pulling information from spiritual entities and hopefully not trying to talk to the dead because you can't communicate with them. People that communicate with the dead are communicating with intelligent spiritual entities mimicking the dead, not the dead.

If you read the Bible, you will see instances of Gods prophets and those that are witches or psychics. Gods prophets received information, saw things, much like we do.

I don't see being a psychic a good thing because it means you are trying to pull information on demand for payment. Even if you didn't tap into those other spiritual entities, is this something you feel comfortable with, someone depending on you to tell them about their life and their future?

To the person who talked about preferring to be with animals instead of people...I relate so much and also feel very bad about that. However, I can communicate (on some level) and relate better with/to my dogs and other animals than I can to/with people. I know you must all understand that--the extreme sensitivity that comes with ADHD. I'm ALWAYS so disappointed with people and how dishonest, mean and bad they are (not that I'm perfect by any means). So, I've learned to stay away from most. I now trust NO ONE except my sons and my dogs. It's a lonely existence really. People do like me and try to spend time with me, but I don't like very many people for the reasons I just mentioned, and I usually push people away.

So this sensitivity is a burden perhaps...one can pick up on messages from the universe, but one can also learn to never trust anyone because of the sensitivity. So I end up blaming myself. I try and stop those negative thoughts in my head telling me I'm stupid (even though I have a masters degree...and so much education/experience besides that really), and that I just take things too hard. I find myself admiring cold-hearted business men and wish sometimes I was capable of not feeling anything like those men. I've learned to PRETEND not to feel. I've learned to PRETEND to like people. I've also learned to PRETEND not to care so much about everything and everyone. It's miserable in my head...yes...yes...the DEPRESSION is so bad and so difficult. The last time someone fell from my pedestal, I wanted to jump off of a bridge.

I tried meds...four different kinds--adderall, ritalin, dexedrine and antidepressants...they tweak me out too bad and don't really seem to help that much. I also hate not being myself. I like my ADHD in some strange way...it's me. I notice when I take meds I can relate to cold and boring people better...no thank you.

Thanks for reading. Sorry for anyone who gets hate mail. Don't people have better things to do then pick on others? See what I mean?--this is why I mostly hate people. They are mean! I like you all here, though, because you're ADHDers like me and understand some of what I talk about.

Thanks for this forum. Hey--to the site owner--maybe consider asking everyone to create a user name and password. That might keep the real weirdos out, you know. :-)

Hi,

I hope it's okay--I'm posting 2 different comments so it will fit.

Thank you all for sharing your experiences. I experience similar, but the "sensing" is not consistent enough for me to make sense out of most of the time. And I try and suppress it.

For instance, I don't know if any of you heard about it, but a few years back there was a serial killer in Ipswich, UK. I had no idea that was going on at the time, but for the longest time the town's name would just pop into my head. It was loud and clear...IPSWICH. It would come and go--it was always really random and unexpected. I thought I was going crazy. Then after a while, I happened to watch some international news and saw a report about the Ipswich serial killer. I told my sons, and it scared the heck out of my younger son because I had told both of them I'd been receiving that town name in my head for a long time. My older son accepted the possible psychic connection because he can relate better (he's very ADHD).

I still wonder if it was just a coincidence that Ipswich kept popping into my mind really. The thing is--what was I supposed to DO with that random information coming at me? That's what upsets me. I surely couldn't prevent the deaths and stop the serial killer across the ocean in England! I mean, is this a gift that we ADHDers are supposed to develop? If so, how do we go about that? For one thing, my ADHD causes me to not follow through on things (as you all know). I could see myself starting "psychic" training of some kind and not sticking with it...or worse, really getting into it and then becoming very overwhelmed with the messages I receive from the universe. Wow...lol...wow.

Also, I was always taught by other Christians that anything "psychic" was evil. I don't know how to feel about that, and if so, why do I seem to receive messages like some of you say you do? It's confusing.

I have ADHD and everything you that happens to you, also happens to me. The hair on my arms will stand up when I meet someone, for the first time, who isn't a very good person. i have feelings that sometimes make me curl over and get sick. I also have dreams about my life that come true. Sometimes it takes a very long time to happen. Im glad to see that someone else shares the exact experiences.

by: TJ Chambers

Hi Karie,

These are not things that you can easily share as you have found out.

I received a hate email from someone because I have this ADHD giftings page up.

This lady told me I'm nuts and that I should see a doctor and be put on meds. She also said that I tell people they are psychic which never do.

It really is a great thing that we can all get together.
