I broke my back skydiving and told I'd never walk again. I walk and went back and made 37 more jumps. I swam with orcas close by on Saturday and was bummed I didn't make eye contact, while others were afraid for me. Life is meant to be an adventure! Mine is anyway.

Iāve been through the wringer with addiction and Iām only 22, sober now but my impulsivity definitely manifests in other ways. I will say dying doesnāt scare me, I donāt pay death much thought because itās a foregone conclusion for all of us. I want to live a good life, not necessarily an insanely long one. Have always said Iād rather go out in a crazy way instead of dying from age related illnesses lol. ADHD definitely isnāt a weakness, can make life significantly harder in some aspects but we live our lives authentically

I found myself in tears on the way to work when my only child was born when I was 40yo because it dawned on me that I'd be lucky to be around after 40, or even 30yrs of her life. Now you had to go and run the time down more š© Talk about trying to make it count

Truly... ADHD isn't a curse. It's just a spell I'm trying to use properly.

Itās frustrating to have another ADHDer wag his finger at us. My experience has been that practically EVERY TIME I try to get some sort of medical help, for my ADHD or otherwise, the system puts me into, well, the system. I can get this treatment (not the one ordered by the doctor), this needed medical procedure gets cancelled or insurance wonāt pay for it. And itās hard enough to get ME to show up for appointments already. Me and my ADHD arenāt made for the system. Weāre not dying solely from dopamine seeking, itās just another way we donāt fit.

On average we may live shorter lives, but I wonder how we fare against the typical mental decline in older age. Synaptic pruning is real and seems to be the use or lose it situation. But if ADHD brains crave learning new things for our dopamine, do we come out above average in mental loss? I wonder if there are any studies on this. I mean, we have spent our whole lives following the "new", basically continued learning. Hopefully this keeps our minds elastic. Aside from the mental health depression and addiction concerns. Just my brain intrigued and interested. I feel an afternoon lost in a rabbit hole of research.

I was on meds until I was in my 40s. 4-5 months of doing directed-attention meditation and a lifetime of adhd symptoms disappeared. If I stop for 3 weeks it comes back.

You forgot to mention stress. Stress is a main contributor to disease, inflammation and drastically lessens our lives. The stress is usually caused by being forced to be a fish on land. Why donāt they just let us live in the water? š„

I'm glad it's down to addiction, fast driving etc and other lifestyle factors as I eat reasonably healthily, I exercise a lot and I don't drink alcohol at all. I believe that if you live with someone who doesn't have adhd and lives a healthy lifestyle and also if you get treatment then it can mitigate the 13 year difference. Right, time to go on ebay and look at that Honda Cbr600rr motorbike and go watch some Isle of Man TT highlights.

If I'd known my ADHD life was gonna be like this, I would've jumped in front of a train years ago. Not that I would've remembered what time the trains were running. š

There's no guarantee when you are going to check out anyway. Your foibles, weaknesses and self indulgences come back to bite you on the a*s as you age ADHD or not. All people need to accept this and decide how they are going to deal with it but very few do. We are made to do this so we can function day to day so maybe we have an advantage, we've done the homework. A reason for optimism no matter how long we have.

ADHDVision
ADHD & The 13-Year Warning šØ
You will live 13 years less on average if you have ADHD...
Why? Because the ADHD brain craves stimulationāat all costs...
Some get addicted to bad habits...
Some drive too fast..
Some make impulsive decisions that change everything...
And honestly? It makes sense. We live fast.
Butā¦ I was actually glad when I heard this statistic...
Because my interest-driven ADHD brain finally had a strong why for building a lifestyle that supports me...
Your ADHD brain needs to know why something mattersābecause when it does, it becomes interesting...
And only through interest can we thrive...
Iāve learned about dopamineāexercising daily to keep my levels up...
Iāve learned nutrition can make or break my focus and energy...
And Iāve learned that vulnerability and the right environment change everything...
If I can do it, you can too...
Because while research says we might die earlierā¦ it also says we are the problem-solvers of the world...
So letās solve your problem. Because ADHD isnāt a curseāitās a challenge you can win.
