I got diagnosed at 28 , and wow…this website has been a godsend for me. Just knowing I’m not stupid, lazy, or just plain careless, & that there are actual reasons for every single one of my shortcomings I mean…even my phobia of talking on the phone, and answering the door, or being more comfortable hanging out with strangers than family or friends… and the shame. Ohh the shame 😔
Ugh 🤦🏼♀️ LIKE HELLO?! 🤷🏼♀️DID YOU EVEN READ IT?! 💁🏼 NO – I don’t see that pile of bills and books piling up! NO – even though I just ate dinner and the result is a dirty plate – NO I DONT think about all the dirty dishes on the kitchen countertops and how much I want to clean them!! …that’s YOU mum! Not me!!
***I’m 200% SURE – that if I were to replace the “ADHD” with ANY other mental, emotional, even physical illness or condition when announcing my diagnosis, I’d get a much more satisfied response, maybe there’d be some follow up questions like “so how are you going with that? What sort of treatment has your doctor decided on trying with you?”Not another word is mentioned about it after they’ve responded to your first-time confession of your newly diagnosed disorder at such a late stage in life...
I often lose entire days…spent on useless crap that has me achieving NOTHING for the day, even though I’ve been flat out, so busy all day, exhausting my mind..all for a result of MINUS.
