A Day In The Life: Things I Hear About My ADHD
As requested by @mycupcakedreams14
“Did you take your medication?”
“I can’t believe you forgot again!”
“I bet if you tried hard enough, you could remember. You just don’t care.”
“Stop saying you CAN’T focus! You CAN! Just try!”
“Have you tried exercising and eating right?”
“You don’t need medication; just try meditating or something!”
*a bunch of jokes about my absent-mindedness that make me feel bad*
“Wow, you’re so messy lol”
“ADHD isn’t real though???”
“ADHD is such a benefit, though! You guys are creative!”
*probably another hunter-gatherer analogy*
“I have a friend/family member/partner/whatever with ADHD, and they do just fine in school/at work.”
I have wonderful, supportive friends (some that are also ADHD) that don’t really say these kinds of things! I also get things along the lines of:
“It’s okay that you forgot! I’ll try to remind you next time!”
“Do you need help with remembering [whatever task]? I can help if you want.”
“I’m here for you if you need anything, it’s okay.”
“What can I do to help?”
I love your passion
