Sometimes, i want to scream and tell the world how not okay i am. i want to say that i'm slowly losing my mind and all my hope to live. but instead of doing it, i stayed silent and acted as if there was nothing wrong with me.

Fuck this one hits home.
[start ID: A series of tweets from verified Twitter user The_Weed.
First tweet: A message I want to share with adults who work with #ADHD kids is: pushing them the way that you push neurotypical kids harms them for life. Here’s what I mean. When I start working clinically with an adult who has ADHD, one of the first things we do /1
Second tweet: is we start to map out their trauma history. And I don’t mean non-adjacent childhood traumas (which are also relevant, but we get to those later) I mean their #ADHD-specific, childhood-based traumas that result from having ADHD while growing up in an ableist society. /2
Third tweet: As you can imagine, this is really sad stuff. Bright kids who were called lazy because they literally *could not* complete tasks the way teachers/parents wanted; hyperactive kids longingly watching their peers run and jump at recess while they sat staring at a math worksheet; /3
Fourth tweet: Worse stuff too— kids *abused* for not finishing chores or not getting A’s or forgetting— all while their brain will *literally* not let them— which creates this horrific feedback loop: fear causes more forgetting, which brings harsher punishment, causing more fear, and on and on /4
Fifth tweet: But the most pernicious phrase that tends to wreck kids, and then seems to ruin things past childhood, past college (if that happens) and into their 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and beyond, is: “you have SO much potential!” This phrase can be deadly for #ADHD kids and we need to stop. /5
Sixth tweet: Here’s why. When the phrase “you have so much potential” is shared with a neurotypical kid, it is a message of hope. It’s an adult seeing a child who has the capacity to do great things if they follow certain steps and make certain choices. It’s nurturing. It’s lovely! /6
Seventh tweet: But when the phrase “you have so much potential!” is used with a kid with #ADHD, whether intended or not, it is most often an ablist, micro-aggressive dig at their disability that tells the child that they should be striving for things that are actually impossible. /7
Eighth tweet: And then when the kid with #ADHD tries with ALL THEIR MIGHT to bridge the gap (examples below) to please the adult— to “meet their potential” in other words— they fail. Predictably. Naturally. And tragically. And the adult is disappointed in them. /8
Ninth tweet: And the problem is, it doesn’t stop there. Because at that point, often the adult is invested, and the adult’s ego is also on the line. So they say “okay, try again! Don’t give up! You can do it!” And the kid tries harder. And fails again. And again. And again. /9
Tenth tweet: And THEN the adult starts providing lots of ideas that help neurotypical folks saying “you can meet your potential if you just use these tools!” (Alarms, planners, apps, schedules, reminders, whatever.) And the kid has hope, and tries AGAIN. And fails AGAIN. And at this point /10
Eleventh tweet: The adult is exasperated and doesn’t understand why their “help” as a teacher or parent or counselor isn’t working. And the kid doesn’t understand either. And that’s when other horrible messages really take hold. Like “lazy” and “messy” and “unmotivated” and “disobedient.” /11
Twelve tweet: And the adult actually believes those labels because the adult really *could* see “potential” (like high IQ, or amazing musical aptitude, or incredible athletic ability) and now really believes the kid must just not *want* to get to rehearsal in time (or whatever) / 12
Thirteenth tweet: And that kid… that poor #ADHD kid is SO confused. Because they DO love the sport or skill or interest and they really DO love the adult and want to please them. And they didn’t. Over and over. So they really MUST just be lazy. Or unmotivated. Or careless. Or inconsiderate. /13
Fourteenth tweet: And now take that, and multiply it by every school year, by every class, by every teacher that sees something in them, by every unmet goal or hope or dream, year after year, situation after situation, disappointment after disappointment. What you get is an adult in despair. /14
Last tweet: What you get is an adult who actually believes they’re lazy and good for nothing. What you get is an adult who’s deeply depressed and unable to like any part of themselves, who has no idea the real truth that’s been their all along: They have an ADA-recognized disability. /15

Ooh, I feel so much of that, cannot tell you how many times I was told I was not living up to my potential. That I just needed to apply myself, etc… this explains a lot actually.

Ranking The Zodiac Signs By Who Is Easiest To *Stay* In Love With
1. VIRGO
Virgo, once the high of the relationship’s novelty wears off, you are by far the easiest sign to stay in love with. Really, when it comes to a relationship with you, the most challenging part is actually falling in love with you, not because you’re a hard person to love but because you’re a hard person to get to know (since your shyness and your overthinking often get in the way). But once someone has fallen in love with you, it’s easy for them to stay in love with you because they feel safe with you, they feel like they can talk to you about anything, and they never stop feeling fascinated by each new thing they learn about you.
2. LIBRA
Libra, like Virgo, you are also pretty easy to stay in love with. It’s the getting-you-to-commit part that’s the challenging aspect. You’re a little bit afraid of settling down and committing to just one person, but once you finally feel like you’ve met the right person and you decide to go all in, it’s a relationship filled with joy, warmth, laughter, and comfort that never ceases.
3. SAGITTARIUS
Staying in love with a Sagittarius is pretty easy because the relationship is built upon such happiness, joy, humor, and emotional closeness. You really know how to talk to your partner and feel close to them in a very deep way, while always still making room for fun and silliness. Now, you can be a bit overly optimistic about relationships (forgetting that each one comes with its challenges), but when you’re willing to work through problems with your partner instead of avoiding them, it helps you to maintain a long-term happiness with your love.
4. TAURUS
Taurus, you live and breathe love, so it’s not surprising that you’re pretty easy to stay in love with. The main reasons it’s easy to stay so in love with you are because you are patient, you’re dependable, and you have an incredibly warm heart – it makes anyone feel safe and happy with you. The only reason you’re not higher up on the list, of course, is because of the struggles you have with jealousy and your need for fairly frequent validation from your partner.
5. CAPRICORN
Now with you, Capricorn, it is slightly surprising that you’re higher up on the ‘easy to fall in love with’ – but only because you’re often pessimistic and fatalistic in the beginning of a relationship, always assuming the worst. But when you are actually able to work through that and find someone who tells you to cut the crap, you’re an incredibly supportive and dedicated partner, filled with a wry sense of humor and a reassuring sense of ambition.
6. CANCER
Most of the time, it’s very easy to stay in love with you Cancer. You have a huge heart, you’re typically the most thoughtful partner anyone has ever had, and you’re such an intelligent and perceptive person. The only reason it is sometimes challenging to stay in love with you is really that you get in your own way – with your tendency to hold grudges and your refusal to let things go even after you’ve supposedly worked through them together as a couple. These tendencies make it hard to stay in a happy and healthy relationship with you sometimes, but when you can work through them, you’re one of the most loving partners around.
7. PISCES
Pisces, for the most part, it’s relatively easy to stay in love with you, thanks to your compassion, your sensitivity for your partner, and your ability to see things from their perspective. What’s keeping you from being one of the easiest signs to stay in love with though is that sometimes you’re not quite sure what you want and you tend to waffle for a long time instead of making an active decision when you need to.
8. AQUARIUS
As you’re probably aware of, Aquarius, falling in love with you can be hard and tricky because your desire to protect yourself leads to you cutting people off and not letting anyone close. But if you’ve found the right person who helps you to work through these fears, you can conquer them and be the honest, caring, and self-aware person that is so wonderful to be in a relationship with. But if you don’t find the right person or you don’t choose to work through these fears, then staying in love with you is just as hard as ever because you won’t ever let the relationship go deeper than a certain surface level point.
9. GEMINI
Surprising no one, Gemini, sometimes you’re super easy to stay in love with and sometimes it’s damn near impossible. When you’re actively addressing your own insecurities and making decisions and choices that help you stay at an emotionally healthy level – then being in a relationship with you is exciting, joyful, and even just fun. But if you instead choose to drown in your anxieties and worries and don’t ask for help, then staying in love with you can feel helpless and frustrating and maddening.
10. ARIES
Aries, you’re probably not surprised to hear that you’re hard to stay in love with – because even you know how bad your commitment issues are. You love to fall in love but you get freaked out when the love becomes normal and routine and part of your life. You convince yourself that it means you have to stop your adventures (which is not true) and you end up making it pretty near impossible for your partner to stay in love with you when they feel like they aren’t wanted.
11. LEO
Leo, you are your own worst enemy when it comes to chasing your partner away. They fall in love with your generosity, your warmth, your thoughtful gestures, and your enormous heart. But then you let your arrogant and patronizing side come out, the side that wants to control the relationship and make it perfect and always have it your way, and then it is very, very difficult for your significant other to love you the same way that they did in the beginning.
12. SCORPIO
Sorry to tell you this, Scorpio, but you’re the hardest one to stay in love with. You certainly have some great aspects as a partner – you’re magnetizing and exciting, you’re passionate, you’re good at reading your loved one. But it’s difficult for those things to make up for the fact that you’re also incredibly jealous, secretive, possessive, and stubborn about admitting when you’re wrong. Work on those bad habits though, and you’ll be just as wonderful of a partner as any of the other signs.
August 17, 2001 – Researchers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) have hit upon an idea for exploring the Red Planet that seems to be equal parts fun and serious science: it’s a lightweight, two-story tall beach ball called “the tumbleweed rover.” Equipped with scientific instruments and propelled by nothing more than the thin Martian breeze, the tumbleweed could potentially explore vast tracts of planetary terrain.
