I get really down when my father gets angry at me for taking too long when I do things, executive disfunction screws me over all the time and like I get it, I truly do, I take hours to get ready and do daily things and I sleep at ungodly hours and he just wants what’s best for me but it’s just so hard and I wish that I could do things like a normal kid too and I have spent my entire life wishing that I wasn’t different but I really REALLY am trying my best and I hate that everyone calls me lazy when I’m just doing all I can
Executive dysfunction is a thing and it's something that we have to deal with daily.
Yes, we have to try our best to be able to get everything done that is expected of us but that doesn't mean that we should have to work ourselves into the ground to prove anything to anyone. You are not lazy and there is nothing wrong with you. You're doing the best that you can every single day and if nobody else sees that, just know that I see that, and just know that you know it. Even if the rest of the world acts like they don't understand, understand yourself.
It is unfortunate that we have to be the person that pats ourselves on the back, but sometimes you're the only person that you have that believes in you. So you have to be kind to yourself when you can and you have to remember that you shouldn't kick yourself more than the world does. If nobody else gives you a break then you need to give yourself a break. It isn't always easy to be able to do everything that you're supposed to do but as long as you're trying at the end of the day that's all that matters.
