Havin NLVD be like

hey, you know what? I’m gonna go ahead and sit here feeling like my friend is mad at me even though they aren’t and there is absolutely no reason for me to feel this way

guess who just got lost trying to get to a class they’ve been going to for months now. Hint: it’s me

Something wrong with your food? too bad you can’t send it back because your waiter will hate you and then you’ll die alone

I don’t want you to touch me but I also really want a hug right now

I’ve done this math problem like a million times in class but on the homework assignment you changed one of the words in the directions to a word that means the exact same thing but now I don’t understand what you want from me anymore

I can’t think of anything interesting to say so I’m just not going to say anything at all ever

you think you’re being nice by asking me which restaurant I’d prefer to eat at but the pressure of trying to make a decision is literally killing me

*casually regrets a stupid thing I’ve said that no one else even remembers for years to come*

I’m lonely and want to make friends but also people scare me

hey, you know what? you’re like two feet away from me but I’m still going to totally fumble the keys when you toss them to me

you can’t read my handwriting? That’s cool, neither can I

I’m sorry I know this lecture is really important but I didn’t hear a word you said because there’s a guy down the hall tapping his pencil against his desk

you were being sarcastic so I’m just gonna stare at you until my brain figures that out

Eye contact? Yeah nope sorry can’t do that

they moved the desks around today so I’m just going to stay in the hall for a minute until change stops freaking me out

We are the last generation who can hear from these survivors directly. Do not take that lightly. Do not waste that opportunity. Do not forget your freedom isn’t infinitely guarenteed. And do not, do not, let it happen again.

[healingdoesntcomequickly]

Really truly, watch the video, reblog it. Teaching about the holocaust is so necessary for our generation before it slips under the rug and people forget about it.

Yes. My life. GPOY.

[lifewithadhd]

this best part is when i start/continue a conversation with a sub sub thought, or a totally unrelated concept sub thought.

[look-something-shiny-redux]

What is this idea of thought—>other thought—>conclusion I keep hearing about?

[lifewithadhd]

Why does it go in a straight line? What is this “linear thought process” you speak of?

[nlvdadhd]

Misunderstandings about real ADHD

1) My disorder is real. There’s no weird conspiracy theory behind it. Stop telling me that it doesn’t exist because of whatever you read on some soccer mom’s blog. I went without meds for the first 24 years of my life, and no one tried to convince me to take medicine as part of some agenda. I went to a physician because I was finally done with pretending I didn’t have it due to social stigma.

2) ADHD does not make someone dumb. I graduated from undergrad with honors as a biology major with a double minor in biochemistry and psychology and a premedicine concentration with no medication. Telling me that forgetting basic words makes me stupid when it’s simply a symptom of a real disorder is ironically one of the most stupid things I’ve ever heard. Someone’s inability to produce insulin does not make them stupid, and neither does ADHD. It’s biological just like any other biological disorder.

3) Concentration problems is only one small symptom, and it varies among those who have the disorder. I get that basic bitch code involves having to explain to everyone that you’re “omg like so ADD,” when all you’re contributing to is the wrong assumptions people have about it. And as a petite blonde woman myself, every time I have to embarrassingly explain to people how I didn’t physically see a “push” sign on a door, I’m simply categorized as a “dumb blonde,” instead. So thanks. Without meds, each day consists of constant mental checklists and anger as I still managed to forget something. I sulk while trying to explain to my husband how I literally didn’t see the milk on the counter that sat out for ten hours, have wicked road rage, and have awful insomnia. Each day is full of self-hatred due to an obscene amount of small errors, I can’t small talk with anyone to save my life due to anomic aphasia, and due to misunderstanding practically everything audibly, I’m ridiculed to my face for “not listening” or being an idiot when I’m trying so fucking hard to hear.

4) ADHD sucks ass. Just because it’s not the worst medical disorder out there doesn’t mean I’m ignorant of other people’s problems or saying it to you to sound cute. I realized over time that my fear of telling people my disorder was indicative of a huge problem we have in the U.S. with mental health. And I really really hurt for people who have more severe and controversial disorders. If someone can say why they can’t have certain food because of IBS or have to use a bathroom immediately like my husband has to do with ulcerative colitis, then I can tell you that I’m having trouble speaking because of ADHD. I’m not making it up, and I’m not using it as a crutch. It sucks.
