ADHD

the feeling of knowing what needs to be done but you can’t bring yourself to start is crushing.

i was told i was lazy and stubborn for as long as i can remember, until i learned what it really was ~2 years ago. all that self loathing bc i couldn’t be like the other people around me who could just..get things done. i wish i was kinder to my younger self.

the way people who don’t have to deal with this issue with their day to day existence react, when you tell them what task paralysis and executive dysfunction does to you is even more soul crushing tho.

i’ve been lucky to have a couple IRL friends who also have adhd and understand it. explaining it to anyone else doesn’t really work unless i mention symptoms of depression etc — then they start to get it
