  What I hate about having ADHD is listening to people say &quot;oh, I&apos;m sooo ADHD&quot; when they do something flighty or absent-mindedly.

  What people think ADHD is like: “man... my adhd is so bad... oh! A squirrel!”<br>What it’s actually like: <b>ive read this page 5 times and I still haven’t grasped the concept</b>

  &quot;I was no longer the person with potential, I was the person that didn&apos;t reach it&quot;<br><br>That one legit hurt.

  People don’t seem to understand how severe adhd can get. For some severe cases, telling someone with adhd to just focus or stay still is like telling a a paralyzed person to just walk or sit up straight. It just doesn’t work.

  “I wish someone taught me about the world of ADHD” <br>That hit too close to home...

  “I can make 4 full discord servers in a day but I can’t finish this fucking assignment” is my adhd in a nutshell

  “A lot of people with ADHD don’t think they have it, and they just think they’re dumb, lazy, or aren’t trying hard enough.” Iv’e always felt this. Finally got diagnosed last week. 🙌🏻

  It’s the analysis paralysis with ADHD that keeps me procrastinating, if I can’t do it perfectly I don’t want to do

  &quot;Your grades are good but you could definitely do better if you&apos;d put more effort into it.&quot; This fucked me up as a child and led me to believe my entire life that my grades were never good enough and that I was never doing &nbsp;enough

  &quot;either people with adhd need to stop being so relatable or i need to go to the doctor&quot;<br><br>update: i am trying to find a doctor to diagnose me but it&apos;s kinda hard when your country doesn&apos;t really value mental disorders like this 😭 if anyone has resources they&apos;d like to share, please let me know!

  Hearing the phrase &quot;if you just tried harder&quot; or &quot;if you just apply yourself&quot; automatically causes my eyes to tear up no matter what. I cannot say how much I hate that phrase.
