everyone tells me that ADHD isn't an excuse for being lazy and that there are people with ADHD who have overcome their symptoms and are successful but every day I drag around an invisible dopplegänger of myself who is horrible and listless and always complains. and he is so heavy. I'm ambitious and I'm passionate but he isn't and the problem is that to get anywhere in life I have to grab him by the leg and pull him along the whole way, kicking and screaming, and sometimes it gets exhausting. sometimes he pulls me down with him. and it gets a bit difficult to explain to people why I'm lying down on the floor in pain when they can't see him.
I've never heard ADHD explained this way....but it's such a good depiction of it.
Fellow neurodivergents and disabled folks of the world, please remember that you are not obligated to live up to the able-bodied's use of disabled inspiration porn in order to placate their demand that you magically be less disabled for their convenience.
That is all. Have a great day, do your best, remember to stay hydrated. Smooch.
