If u ever receive a package from someone with ADHD, just know that the item stared at them from days/weeks/months in a hallway/on a desk/table/kitchen island, it took an immense amount of emotional strength to make the shipping label, and they must care for u a lot

I'm still not done wrapping/packing, y'all 
let alone SHIPPING

Appreciate all the comments/RTs with your own struggles because the shame I feel around this is IMMENSE but now I know I'm not alone! 
Although who knows if my friends and family will ever get these packages!

I see a lot of folks saying this tweet "diagnosed" them. That's great! I similarly discovered my own diagnosis through a friend's comment. Had a couple folks reach out so here are my tips:
-Talk to your doctor
-Read "Driven to Distraction"
-Get an ADHD coach
Hope this helps!

My diagnosis changed my life (I was diagnosed only a couple years ago) and has made me discover that a lot of shame & difficulty I have *isn't* cuz I'm a piece of shit- it's because my brain works differently. 
I hope you can learn more about your
and find help/peace, too!

Also I've been listening to the audiobook of "I Thought It Was Just Me" by @BreneBrown which has helped my a lot, too! (not adhd specific, but a lot of overlap with shame spirals/unrelenting standards/feeling less alone/etc.)

Some days are better than others. Some days I feel like an unstoppable creative ball of light- but most days I am yelling at myself on the inside.
Be kind to your. ADHD is very real, and denying that things are more difficult for you is denying your own disorder.

1 last #ADHD tip here!!!
I recently was honest/open with my family members re: thank you cards. I told them how difficult it is for me to write/send/mail a card, and now that we have that understanding, they do not mind a text/email thank you instead!!
Game changer!
