A lot of people go undiagnosed in all honesty, and it's already a super one.
Thankfully it's generally a more mild one, and is very treatable with medication or, like myself, just learning to cope with it and work around it.
ya my sibling has adhd and ive just sorta learnt how to act around them
i joke around that they spread it to me lMAO but yah tbh, im just starting 2 figure out how to deal with it
One thing that's honestly not talked about is the issues of low self esteem and self worth, along with the general laziness it can inflict. Due to its name, the lack of attentiveness and hyperactivity are all that's common knowledge about the illness.
BASED TBH!! bc i actually never had any energy all my life, but i think that was bc i was putting up a mask
i remember a family member told my mum how good i was at holding conversations, that's bc i just faked my way through it hhh
after just sorta accepting myself for who i am i have had a lot more energy
but ive also struggled with putting things off my whole life, like if i dont do it RN i will never do it, yk?
But honestly, the hyperactivity hasn't been the issue since 5th grade. The low self esteem, self worth, and lack of worth ethic it inflicts have really been my only issues since, and it's honestly a bit sad that it doesn't get the awareness the illness deserves. Because it has its own unique struggles, but is often condensed to just "hyper and can't focus" to most people.
Yeah the procrastination is a huge part of it that's really overlooked
YAYA!! and also like bc i was literally bored in grade 2?? bc ive always been sorta a gifted child and now i have super high expectations for myself and if i dont win then i beat down on myself
AND I AGREE WITH THE SELF ESTEEM STUFF i have always had low self esteem
GIFTED KID SYNDROME HOLY SHIT, I HAVE THAT. Gifted kid from early on that never got good study habits and so fails to do the extra work for anything else to help guarantee success and now suffers???
And don't even get me started on the "They just aren't applying themselves" TO MAKE **US** FEEL BAD WHEN THE SCHOOLING SYSTEM FAILED US
DFHJBVHUDKSBFG IM SOOO GLAD IM NOT ALONE HOLY SHITTT
and tbh it doesnt help i probably have trauma around school so i dont put in as much effort out of fear 😕
Bro I have so much school trauma. I was the weird kid in every school I went to because I was impulsive and like. Very easily seen as not neurotypical. To the point where I was bullied alot, just being told to "ignore it" and "keep my head down" instead of just being myself with my few friends. Teachers weren't usually my problem?? But I disliked some of them, students were the biggest issue though, paired with the low self esteem. And now that I'm properly diagnosed now, I probably had depression back then too, as I do now. Honestly, I have my bf to thank for getting me through it, I probably would've kms otherwise because it was so goddamn brutal everyday
Help sorry if that sounded like an unsolicited vent I swear it wasn't I'm over it now
BRO ive gotten the same thing with the 'ignore it' stuff omfgg
and im glad ur doing better now ^_^
i can sort of relate to the bullying
as i am physically big i think most kids r scared of me, but ive had kids pick on me for being overweight and it's one of my biggest insecurities
my bestie was more-so the one who was the weird kid, prolly bc she never hid the fact she has autism
i dont think she was bullied so much as picked on, but it's probably for the best she's best friends with one of the 'cool kids' at school (if u can call me that lmao)
nono dw ur all good!! :D
and i forgot to mention but i can agree with the kids as well hh
especially at my school they're SO bad jfc
Also it really does not help that I'm not from West Virginia, where I moved to for middle school, as the new kid it was especially harsh
IM SRY i had a long shpeel that was a bunch of bs so i decided to delete it :<
