as salaam alaikum. i am a 14 year old girl with diagnosed ADHD. for those of you who don’t know what ADHD is, in short: ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, its a neurological/mental disorder that i was born with. It causes me to be really hyperactive and impulsive. Besides that i also have a lot trouble with concentrating and keeping focus. it is never quiet in my head, i have 50 thoughts rushing through my head at the same time and another 50 things i suddenly rememebr i still need to do etc, i’m never not thinking. my short term memory is really bad too, i forget things really fast and get distracted easily. Unfortunately this is also present during prayer. I often forget which raa’ka im on or accidentally repeat the same surah or even pray an extra raa’ka because i am uncertain how many i have prayed already. Even in a room without distractions i am distracted by my own thoughts that i can not control. i also sometimes catch myself fidgeting like moving back and forth while sitting on the ground during prayer ( i dont know how to call it), this also happens subconciously and i immeadieatly stop fidgeting when im aware that im fidgeting. Is this a sin? Are my prayers not accepted? Will i not be rewarded the same as the rest?
Also if another muslim with ADHD reads this, do you have any advice or tips on how to pray with ADHD? and if not, i still want to hear your story, maybe we can help each other ^
may you, your family and your loved ones all be blessed eith Jannah inshallah.
