It wasn’t doing well a few months ago, and the sudden hype on TikTok via content + comments is giving guerilla marketing campaign that went a little too well 😅
I hate how ADHD has been sensationalized as the fun mental illness but having it literally feels like walking around with some very specific kind of dementia that is actively ruining your life at every step and the culprit is always you.
One time I put a match note on my hinge saying “tell me your worst pick up line” and then proceeded to forget I did this.
I was soooo confused at the messages 😭
I was 19 and had a medical abortion at 5 weeks. I found out after my period was 3 weeks late and two tests came back positive. My partner supported whatever decision I made, which meant a lot.
At the clinic, I confirmed I was 5 weeks pregnant and scheduled the abortion the next day. I took the pills (mifepristone, then misoprostol). I didn’t have severe pain... just diarrhea, light cramps, and bleeding for about 5 days. Painkillers and rest helped.
Two months later, I feel both relief and occasional “what if” thoughts. I know it was the right decision for me, but it still crosses my mind sometimes. My partner continues to support me, reminding me it was our choice.
In short: It’s okay to feel scared, unsure, or emotional. Whatever you decide, make the choice that’s right for you...
ADHD is one of the most painful things to live with. Not because it's loud, because it's contradictory. You're capable of anything and motivated to do almost nothing. You understand everyone around you, but can't explain what's happening inside yourself. You have brilliant ideas, but no patience to finish a single one. You're a genius who can't handle an email, an extrovert who needs to be completely alone, a person full of advice who can't follow any of it. And the worst part? You know.
Being single isn't the issue, the cost of existing alone is. One income, full rent, full bills, full responsibility, no backup. Then you get told to "budget better" by people who've never had to carry 100% of the load on their own. The system didn't break, it just stopped accounting for anyone doing it solo.
