27. A brain with ADHD is like a power ball lottery machine. You have 55 balls bouncing around. If you pay attention, you will see a number randomly pop up on each of the balls. One second it is there and then it is gone. You see another there, than gone. If you try to focus on all the numbers that pop up, you can't keep up with them. You will lose track of all the information bouncing around. Try calling out a number when you see it but as soon as it is gone stop. Call out the next one and when it is gone, stop. ADHD is like that. There is information bouncing around in the brain. There are many different things popping up randomly at the same time. It is difficult to concentrate on just one. As soon as it is there and seen, it is gone and forgot about. After a while, you may see it come up again. This is also why we say things randomly. The information for some reason pops back up when it wants and we just say it and then it is gone. -Someone with ADHD describing what it is like

28. Bipolar Disorder  Flipping From High Energy to Crash Landings  Imagine being so energetic that you feel you might bounce off the walls. You have zillions of different thoughts, so many you think your head might split right open. You're so full of different feelings buzzing around inside that you don't know what to focus on first. You can hardly sleep — but you don't feel tired. And you just can't stop talking.

29. Bipolar Disorder And then, without warning, you crash land. You feel so bad that everything seems sad, dark, and heavy. You can't even imagine dragging yourself out of bed. Nothing feels good, and you're certain that you're stuck in this black hole forever. But then you flip back to the super-high-energy mood. This time, everything seems irritating, and big angry rages come over you out of nowhere. Later, you crash again. You never know when you'll feel one way or the other. And there's not a lot of "everything's OK" in between.

30. Bipolar Disorder  A person who has bipolar disorder has intense moods that flip-flop back and forth between the low lows of depression and very energetic, high highs, which are called mania.  For someone with bipolar disorder, the brain has trouble keeping control of moods.  It is believed that certain genes are responsible for this problem.

31. Bipolar Disorder  People are more likely to develop bipolar disorder if they have inherited certain genes from parents.  That's why bipolar disorder, like other kinds of mood problems, including depression, runs in families.  Just because someone has a relative with bipolar illness doesn't mean he or she will have it, too.
