“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 had the same issue unitl i dated a woman in 2018 who worked with disabled elderly people. She was the only person who understood me. We're still very good friends, but i still assumed i'd die alone. Last year i met my now girlfriend and on our first date she told me: i love how autistic you are. I can't explain how happy she makes me, and in my 41 years, i never really expected this to happen.
She also works with disabled kids, so there's that.
