I’m ready to be hit with all of it. You are still visible, but far away. (I believe it’s better to be alone, left unspoken )
Are you in a shambles? Please help me to see it through. I see the worst of me, and you see it in me.
If I am using too many chemicals, let me know. The ones who tell you to leave it at that. Let’s take a look at , to see what’s hidden inside.You might find it better to say nothing. It’s all harmless
Leave me alone Whatever makes you feel okay Do you want me to make up my mind ?Please don’t interrupt me so that I can give you a glimpse into the mind of an absent person. We both know that this doesn’t work.
Do you feel the same? What happens when we fail to succeed? It’s not a good idea to hide in shame (When I want you to …)
I will remain silent, as you had hoped I believe I’ve spoken enough Your actions make you bite your tongue It’s getting too hard to run from all these thoughts, .I’ll be silent and let the still air escape my thought Don’t behave the same way when you come back

Hit me like Add er all and put me back in my place. Away from you, still in plain view. (I think it’s better alone, left unspoken)
Is all am a mess to you? Just help me see this through. I know you see the worst in me and I see the worst in you.
Let me know, if I’m overstepping chemicals. The ones that tell you that your better alone. Let’s see what’s buried inside, I think you’ll find maybe it’s better left unsaid. It’s all innocuous
Set me aside, leave me out to dry Whatever makes you feel alright Dub me again so I can make up my mind Set me aside so you can feel a glimpse of absent mind. When we both know this isn’t working.
Does it make you feel the same? When we try and fail? No sense to hide away in shame (When I just want you to…)
So, I’ll stay silent as you hoped I would I think I’ve said enough Your actions seem to bite your tongue I’m sick with running from these ample thoughts still building up I’ll stay away and let the silent air escape this thought When you come back around don’t act the same as when you left

How to Treat ADHD without Medication in Adults? How to Treat ADHD in Adults?
Some doctors are hesitant to prescribe ADHD medications to adults, especially older adults, who have a greater risk of drug interactions. If you are having trouble with everyday functioning because of ADHD, then trying drug treatment makes sense. If the impact of ADHD is minor and you’ve figured out coping strategies without a formal diagnosis and treatment plan, your doctor may instead advise treatments that don’t involve medications.
Cognitive behavioral therapy
ADHD may have a particularly serious impact on a certain part of your life, such as job performance. A therapist can help you work on areas that need special attention, giving you strategies that can help in specific situations at work and elsewhere.
One widely used approach is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This type of psychotherapy helps people change negative thought patterns into positive, healthier ways of thinking. The idea is that if you change the way you think about a situation, your feelings and behaviors can change, too. For example, CBT may help change "all or nothing" thinking, in which in many people with ADHD tend to think that their accomplishments must be either perfect or a failure.
CBT is very focused on giving you tools to help deal with stresses and challenges in life. Working on self-esteem is often a very important aspect of ADHD treatment.
Emotional therapy
ADHD is not just about paying attention in conversations and in meetings. ADHD can lead to frequent emotional ups and downs, which can hamper relationships and everyday activities. Just waiting in line can make a person with ADHD quite irritable. So can minor setbacks, such as having a project not turn out quite right or having a boss who changes deadlines or who demands more work at the last minute. It may help to find a psychiatrist or another type of therapist and meet regularly to discuss your symptoms and any challenges or successes in your life.
It’s also common for adults with ADHD to have other mental health conditions. An estimated 50% of adults with ADHD, for example, also have an anxiety disorder, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America. Having ADHD along with another condition can severely interfere with daily functioning.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is a form of treatment that teaches you how to regulate your brain waves in an effort to enhance brain function and mental well-being. Brain activity is monitored through a machine called an electroencephalograph. Brain signals pass from one or more leads placed on your head to a computer, which translates the brain signals into a video or audio display.
People with ADHD often have excessive slow-wave activity in frontal leads, indicating reduced frontal brain activity. Through neurofeedback, you can learn to do tasks that may enhance the function of the prefrontal cortex by suppressing slow-wave activity and increasing higher (that is, faster) frequencies.
The technique is noninvasive and painless. Studies of neurofeedback’s effectiveness have shown mixed results, however. Treatment typically requires 40 to 80 sessions, which can be time-consuming and expensive.
