I do not understand why people who do not have ADHD are more sympathetic. Like I had a mental breakdown yesterday because finals are in 3 weeks and I am behind on school work due to my ADHD and not being able to start studying and doing homework at a decent hour. I vented to my boyfriend about it and in that moment he was very nice and tried to comfort me. It is the next day and its about 2:30pm and I have not done any school work yet today, and he keeps getting mad at me for it. It not like I do not want to do my work, its just that I physically cannot get myself to do it. I have so much anxiety about school right now, and him thinking I am just lazy really hurts my feelings. I have told him to do research about ADHD, so that he can understand what I go through on a daily basis, but he still has not. It is not my job to educate others, especially those close to me. I feel like my friends and family really need to educate themselves. This is not me saying I wont educate others if they ask questions, or that I wont bring awareness to the issue, but it would just be great if my significant other and close friends can be educated enough to know not to be mean about things like this.
