Why did God gave me ADHD?

[Muna]

That is a lie from the pits of Hell. ADHD is a gift of God. It a gift that God gives to musicians, artists, any and all things creative. Stop this lie.

Hey, Rockerduck, I will probably differ with you on this point, because how can a disease be a gift of God? Even though I know you are using this in relation to some wonderfully gifted people, we know that there are musicians and various other creative artists without ADHD. It cannot be that everyone who creates music, poetry and various arts must have a particular disease "gifted to" them by God in order to perform their gift (so to speak), see what I mean? Not forgettting to mention that these particular gifts exist in both unbelievers and believers and are not really listed as gifts of God, but are more or less natural abilities one might be more or less inclined to engage in while in the flesh. Our own human abilities are also given to us by God, so perhaps in that way you might be speaking of this after that manner. But I wouldnt say that ADHD (or any disease for that matter) should be equated any sort of gift of the Spirit, is what I mean here.

I don't believe ADHD is a disorder or a disease. Any phycologist will tell you that. I see people all the time with undiagnosed ADHD. In fact, it is so predictable you can go to a web site called ADHD 101 and read about it. ADHD in the military are those that are fearless fighters and chance takers. King David in the bible was ADHD, he exhibited all the traits. Are you always losing car keys or other things? Can you watch TV for hours? Do you get interested in a computer game and can't get enough of it? Did your schoolteacher always catch you daydreaming? How about, are you easily distracted? See, all of these are traits of ADHD.

I don't believe ADHD is a disorder or a disease.

Now that is something I myself have considered, that it was possibly an invention. And when I was looking it up it shares common symptoms with other so called diseases.

What I found was, " The first clinical description of symptoms resembling ADHD is attributed to British pediatrician Sir George Frederic Still in 1902, who described a group of children with behavioral disturbances, inattention, and an inability to focus, noting these were unrelated to intelligence or home environment.
Earlier, in 1798, Scottish physician Sir Alexander Crichton described a condition involving an "incapacity of attending with a necessary degree of constancy to any one object," which aligns with modern understandings of inattention. The condition was not formally recognized as a distinct disorder by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) until the 1960s.

On personal note, I do not trust any of these psychiatric assoc's , however, it is labeled a neurodevelopmental disorder nontheless.

So rather than say that such a disorder is a gift, why not just say "I do not believe its disease or disorder" at all. Doing that, rather than validating what is called a disease (on whatever level) is really a gift. And simply because a disease is not a gift (they shouldn't be equated) is what I am saying. I also think it could be safe to say he not a God of disorder ( especially a neurological kind).

Any phycologist will tell you that. I see people all the time with undiagnosed ADHD. In fact, it is so predictable you can go to a web site called ADHD 101 and read about it. ADHD in the military are those that are fearless fighters and chance takers. King David in the bible was ADHD, he exhibited all the traits. Are you always losing car keys or other things? Can you watch TV for hours? Do you get interested in a computer game and can't get enough of it? Did your schoolteacher always catch you daydreaming? How about, are you easily distracted? See, all of these are traits of ADHD.

That is why I don't really believe in them, or even what they say, I don't believe its a disease (on their end) or a gift (as it might be considered on your end).

at some point
when i was talking to amadeus
about me not having any talents
nor do i have the skills
even if something interest me and i do it i am not improving much nthan other people

this thoughts just came
John 9:2
His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

John 9:3
"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

that the works of God might be manifest in him

John 15:5
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

Luke 1:37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.

the thoughts of i am not meant to do it alone i can do anything with him

sooo... it is like i am born to rely on God i am born and given no choice like other people but to go to God or else i cannot really do anything because without him i am nothing my wisdom and intelligent is subpar compare to normal people

but i am naturally inconsistent so if i look away from the mirror i forget who i am
and i feel nausea rn somehow

 

[stredaleve]

i believe adhd is not just psychological it is also physical some kind of my organs are prolly damaged it is no different from being blind from birth

 

[stredaleve]

if i do not have adhd
i think i have a normal life now just like any other humans
and its my personality that will be the key in saving me and i doubt i will be saved at all due to my personality i doubt i will listen to God knowing that i can do things alone
but since i have adhd if i do something i will most likely fail to do it
sooo... i cannot really do anything alone
i absolutely have no choice but to go under his wing else i will most likely kill myself due to frequent scolding and failures
sooner or later i will die and will regret it so i must stop playing and give it my all

why playing because some humans said that the one speaking is the holy spirit in them and said that i was just playing

If no doctor or scholar told us about it, do you think you are different from normal people?

Labels are the last thing that should be used on everyone.

 

[marks]

why do you think God give people **adhd**

i do not think it is a sin as it has been there since i was just a kid and yet i have no idea

for so many years i did not know

i thought just like other people i was normal

and thought just like them i would end up getting a normal life
but i end up getting an abnormal life that the society would vomit

it does reminds me of this verse

## John 9:1-3
> And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

what i am struggling is being consistent
as it keeps changing every now and then

I've got my troubles as well . . . to keep us in daily dependance on God, that's what I think.

Much love!

I would prolly say it differently
why no one can understand me nor can i understand them
why am i abnormal
out of all my cousins siblings parents grandparents even relatives why am i the only one who is like this what did i do in my past life

So your distress is just feeling different? How do people who are terminally ill think about this? You shouldn't always put a label on yourself. Then repeating this label to myself, I personally don't find ADHD that surprising.

feeling? definitely not just about the feelings
its my behaviors
if i act and accept and try and insist i am a normal person but everytime failed to do so
i am only digging my own grave
but knowing that i am abnormal
i am different from normal people
it kind of set me free
because i already accepted it
i cannot do the things that normal people can do
knowing that fact i can let go of the burden of trying if other people can do it w/o God of course i can also do it alone without God

 

[stredaleve]

and if you cannot understand me because of grammar
even if i correct my grammar it will be the same
because it already happened multiple times in here and others
and even tho i am telling you this
i am also clueless why
i simply cannot understand why people cannot understand me
and neither do i understand them

take for example that person
i explained for like 3x and everytime its a long explanation trying to make her understand what i am talking about
she just keeps rejecting and denying it
the 4th time she agreed because she finally understood me

a christian said

what amadeus keeps telling me
but its been years and yet here i am still the old man
and some christians have already abandoned me but i do wondered what happened to amadeus


these are the verses came to mind when she said those things

 

[stredaleve]

and i still have not done it
idk whats what
but i think i feel guilty of sin and does not want to go near the light yet
i am also afraid of failure
if i go near the light i have to continue in the light if i fail to do so
i feel like i will fall very deep
and it will take a lot of time to recover
its all in my head i am first analysing before doing it
tbh i think thats the problem
i am not doing it directly without a plan
i am thinking it thoroughly in my head before applying and if it failed i will not do it

 

[stredaleve]

@Angelina you have abandoned me too right?
warm at first very cold later
thats just how i see christians now
