I'd make vent art like these and still think I can push through and make it. For anyone that can relate, please make that doctor's appointment if you are able to. If not, do proper research on (au)ADHD and be kinder on yourself.
adhd is honestly so subtle in how it destroys your life. like you’ll be waiting on the right time to do something and you’ll look up and years have passed and you’ve done nothing to achieve anything you’ve been wanting to do forever, and it’s for no reason in particular.
I genuinely can’t wait to talk to my doctor and get diagnosed because I have been fighting this disorder for over a decade thinking i’m not working hard enough when in reality its like swimming with a cauldron attached to my feet and thinking everyone’s equipped to deal with it.
Very upsetting knowing this isn't something people should deal with. I'm not physically tired, just mentally. I'm tired of having to prepare myself everyday just to do mundane tasks.
@KingGamur Not to mention the constant distraction you have to deal with. Your mind doesn’t stop and you beat yourself for it because you do not realize that this ISN’T a character flaw but in fact a disability!

Does anyone else also struggle with this? It's like having multiple monologues in your head, all fighting for a chance to be heard instead of waiting for their turn.

@Squirrel_Goblin Also, now I don’t need it as much, but I used to motivate myself by using stickers. I’d write and use a sticker that matches the day or mood. I’d make collages with washi tape and stickers as well.
@tayonwillpower Man even if I masked, I can bet you I still wasn’t completely seen as neurotypical. Just draining and lying to myself everyday that my struggles were normal.
Misdiagnosed, masked my whole life, multiple burnouts, years of self-criticism, thinking I was weak, not trying hard enough, poor living situations despite living in a first world country and this is what our fellow neurodivergent people have to say. There is nuance in everthing-
@SofondaSocks@saprolegniaa You can argue that there are people who do not want to change or receive help, but this is not what this is about. You guys are genuinely ignorant and full of yourselves.
@saprolegniaa Your shitpost spreads a dangerous message to those who do not understand neurodivergent people as well as those who are neurodivergent and are not yet diagnosed/late diagnosed
and not every disability is visible. This rhetoric is hurting every neurodivergent person out there, no matter how high or low they are on the spectrum. It's genetic, and there is more awareness and research about it, so more people start to get diagnosed.
