He was like "if you need a charger in every room of your house because moving one around results in you losing it, stop making your own life harder for yourself"
It seems so obvious and yet I realize I was masking even in private. I stopped doing that. I got ADHD home IDC now😂
LRT that type of advice about ADHD hits hard because true...I read another that was like "stop holding yourself to NT standards even in your own home. accept that your brain works differently. why shouldn't you be comfortable in your own space?"
Last thing she told me. I think about it constantly.
She said: I spent my whole life thinking I was a smart woman who kept failing at easy things. The diagnosis didn't fix me. It just finally told me the truth.
I was never failing. I was running a race nobody told me I was in, carrying weights nobody could see.
Then she grabbed my hand and said don't wait as long as I did to forgive that kid. She never did anything wrong. She just never got handed the manual. And neither did you.
The voice in your head, she said. The one calling you lazy and stupid and too much...
That voice isn't yours. Somebody handed it to you when you were small, somebody who had no idea what they were even looking at.
You've been quoting a stranger your whole life. She said you're allowed to stop.
There’s something especially heartbreaking about a naturally vibrant neurodivergent girl learning to dim her light after years of being excluded, misunderstood, or made to feel like she’s too much.
I'm terrible at this...I'm not a self-started and even if I ask, my husband won't be strict with me. Apparently he tried to wake me twice, but he's just way too gentle about it...lmao.
Ugh...frustrated with myself. Overslept again today, so no beach again. I refuse to go on weekends too because of crowds. I just cannot nail the timing between getting enough sleep, getting up on time, having enough time to eat, and time to get there and back before traffic 🥲
Up yearning...I really do love him a stupid amount... 😮💨It'd be mean to say I love him more than anything, I guess? But he is up there tied with the rest of the most important people in my life/heart.
