ADHD

A close girlfriend posted this today, and I don’t even have the words because hers so perfectly fit how I am/feel. As does the link.

So here are her words:

“Sometimes it helps to see that other people feel the same way, because being different like this makes me feel like an alien a lot of days.

I can’t communicate as I would like to, simple mistakes send me down a well of shame, I can not relax for more than maybe a couple minutes, and crazy reactions that are unusual from how most people would respond to situations. My level of excitement is always an instant 11, as is my anger. I used to try to deny it or hide it, but that’s impossible. I’ll never be able to function like everyone else, and how I function is exhausting. It’s like a constant state of panic that if I do one thing wrong everything about me will fall apart and I’ll have to start making myself all over again. I like me, I’m always unique, but I also piss myself off. Usually that’s all just in one day. I’m a LOT, even for me.”
