Thinken about growing up with ADHD and how many times other kids asked "is there something wrong with you?" In a genuine tone after I did something a lil silly
And how many adults just kind of ignored me because they didn't know what to do with me 😔
ADHD positive posts are really important to me because of how much I have struggled and continue to struggle with it and how it represents the parts of myself that I like the least
Straight up cannot stand being off my meds and feeling somehow More alienated from others through thoughts n actions n feelings that I would then have less control over
The way I got treated for showing the symptoms of ADHD has scarred me in such a way that I find it hard to believe when people actually like being around me because my self image is so Bad!
(I went to a really small Christian school and went to Sunday school a lot btw so naturally the tolerance and acceptance of abnormalities was bad because private institutes don't have to adhere to laws protecting disabled ppl)
Ok end thread
Wait not end thread!
I'm trying to not restrain myself anymore because the stress and anxiety and self-hatred isn't worth it and there will always be people who will like me for who I am :+)
And who I am is someone who really likes people and one day I will work through the social anxiety and shyness that keeps me from accepting and initiating social interaction
Ok end thread
This is a good thread I felt like I really got to air some dirty laundry here
