“Living with ADHD can truly be hell”
Goddamn that hits me, all my life I’ve felt like adhd is viewed as this comedic side character who has his wiring all messed up. Meanwhile inside, it IS hell.
(Got this book as a present, seems like a really good tool so far: “100+ lifehacks voor een eenvoudiger leven met AD(H)D” by Séverine van de Voorde. ISBN 978-94-6234-893-6)
I’ve been lucky so far to have people around me from way back in 90-00’s who understood me enough. Back then it really wasn’t a thing in public discourse so that speaks extra to their credit.
Finding that special someone though, I hear ya, I was actively trying until I was around 30 with a LOT of stumbling and heartbreak along the way. At points I felt like “I must be impossible to love”.
I did meet her and I’ll have spent my time on this planet just right with her. My miracle.
I wish you all the best, I know the pain and dread. Don’t give up and always assume tomorrow can be better and worthwhile. Our mind is different, and our world is ill equipped for it so far, but that doesn’t mean we don’t belong.
That's beautiful, thank you.
