Token ADHD Commiseration is not okay!
Fam and friends mean well when they say, "Oh, don't worry about it... I forget names and conversations. I tell people I forget sometimes, and we laugh it off."
That IS NOT ADHD, damn it!! Everyone forgets names and convos once in a while. However, those "laughable and playful times don't lead to meltdowns, panic, or replayed scenarios & self conversations!!! And if you tell them that, they have the gall to get snippy and tell you to lighten up and not be so hard on yourself. FUCK, I hate that!!!
