  • Well of course! we have an emotional rollercoaster which you can’t get off, then we have a “what was I about to do and why is everyone angry at me” -memory game but we forgot the rules, also there are “social rules and regulations for people” and “small talk 101” puzzles but unfortunately some pieces were lost.






  • And nobody ever told that this could be a symptom of something and not just self-centered over-thinking! I’ve just recently started to realise the same: fixating on intrusive thoughts, feelings of anxiety/anger or constant existential crisis has apprently been just ADHD all along (well, not just that of course but oh boi does it amplify them). And how can this medicine turn them off just like that?! Why didn’t I have access to this before?!




  • When being tested for ADHD my mom refused to take part in the interviews and was really reluctant to help me figure out the symptoms I had as a child etc. Funniest thing, she works as a therapist in an asylum for prisoners, so one might think she’d understand how important it is to get help with mental health, yet she was apparently thinking I want to get diagnosed just to get drugs and my problem is that I just don’t try enough. And here I’m thinking, ma, have you realized how many different careers and educations you’ve had, how your relationships are a mess and how anxious you are all the time, not to mention the hoarding of stuff and hobbies etc. we are the same.
