The weird thing about ADHD is that my brain often doesn’t feel like “me.”
Instead, it’s this obstacle between the thoughts I have and the actions I take.
So I have to convince it to do the things that “I” want to do, but it can (and often does) refuse my requests.
i hope that when you see things you could have handled differently in hindsight, you can also see the version of yourself that was doing the best they could with what they knew at the time
Why do people with ADHD usually develop low self esteem?
There's no room for pride in your accomplishments and feeling empowered when you're constantly firefighting the exhaustion caused by your ADHD symptoms.
Some people wear their heart on their sleeve…
But I wear my heart on my face.
It’s just there, for everyone to see, and I’m usually completely oblivious to it.
My dog, who routinely howls at sirens, was just howling at a siren, and a woman walked by and asked “who are you singing to?” and I said “oh, he just does this” and she looked at me and responded in a voice of absolute death, “I was talking to him.”
