Turns out that "gifted, high-achieving child" who finished assignments in 10 minutes, read entire books under the blanket with a flashlight, and was praised for being mature... was actually just an undiagnosed ADHD girlie operating on pure, unregulated hyperfocus.
Si tu te tardas te beso primerooooo, Pórtate mala, dale, ponte cueroooo
Y enséñame a bailaaaaaaaaa, mami, yo no séeeeeee
Pero ya estoy borraaaachooo y son las treeeeeee
When ADHD people say “I didn’t do anything today” what they actually mean is:
- I answered 13 texts
- Cleaned the bathroom
- Cried
- Made 2 meals
- Reorganized one shelf
- Battled internal shame
But didn’t finish The Invisible Task™
So it all feels like failure.
