#adhd venting

i'm exhausted of explaining the same things over and over about adhd to my fucking mother while she pretends to listen just to answer with 'yes and what do you do with that' 'you don't want to improve' 'you say it's the adhd and don't try' 'you can better yourself' 'anything can be worked on and improved'
it's not a fucking disease that gets better over time. that's not what adhd treatment fucking means. my brain will not get better, it will not change. certain symptoms can be PERCEIVED as alleviated because treatment means learning to work around them and with them, but I will continue to walk into rooms and forget why 10 times a day. that cannot get better. I HAVE learned how to remember why faster, but still don't sometimes. yes there are symptoms i can get better at managing and THAT'S what i'm trying to do.
I WILL NOT GET BETTER I'M NOT SICK
I'M FUCKING DISABLED

extremely unsexy of adhd to make me both very annoying and very sensitive to the concept of being perceived as annoying

fucking hate it when the stuff everybody says "actually works" does actually work.
hate exercising and realizing i've let go of a lot of anxiety and anger because i've overturned my fight-or-flight response.
hate eating right and eating enough and eating 3 times a day and realizing i'm less anxious and i have more energy
hate journaling in my stupid notebook with my stupid bic ballpoint and realizing that i've actually started healing about something once i'm able to externalize it
hate forgiving myself hate complimenting myself more often hate treating myself with kindness hate taking a gratitude inventory hate having patience hate talking to myself gently
hate turning my little face up to the sun and taking deep breaths and looking at nature and grounding myself and realizing that i feel less burdened and more hopeful, more actually-here, that i am able to see the good sides of myself more clearly, that i am able to see not only how far i have to grow - but also how much growth i have already done & how much of my life i truly fill with light and laughter and love
horrible horrible horrible. hate it but i'm gonna do it tho

All of you complain about overstimulation and sensory overload
We need to talk about under stimulation. I’m not saying I want to be overloaded with information. No I mean when I get panic attacks because there is not enough self stimulation in a situation. I have to walk out of meetings to pace around and think to calm myself down because my fight or flight response has activated from being not being able to stim.
I get so anxious when I cannot listen to music or have something playing in the background because I need stimulation that I choose to have and which I have control over
It physically hurts my brain.

Can we please stop putting down autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent people whose traits are considered 'cringe', 'dorky', 'weird' or something else considered to be socially unacceptable?
We get enough shit from neurotypical people—we don't need to throw each other under the bus too.
"But they're making us look bad!"
I. Don't. Care. It's wrong to put each other on hierarchies. Simple.

people will spend days and weeks and fucking months getting upset at you for not doing things that are literally out of your range of abilities and youll spend days and weeks and months and years fucking years trying to politely explain to them how these things are difficult and impossible for you and theyll refuse to listen and tell you youre making up excuses and the one time. the ONE FUCKING TIME you lose your temper and scream at them suddenly youre the bad guy sure suddenly youre a monster who cant control yourself. suddenly youre the one being unreasonable.

what i've learned thus far in my life is if a neurodivergent person has a personality they're annoying. but also if a neurodivergent person doesnt have a personality they're annoying. if a neurodivergent person acts how people want them to they're annoying. and if a neurodivergent person doesnt act how people want them to... they're annoying. basically, i've learned that as long as you're neurodivergent somebody will take issue with you, find you annoying, say you're too much or not enough.

i love being the person that all of my friends feel safe infodumping to
i never judge, i never interrupt, i ask questions, i listen, i say supportive shit, i do all the shit i wish someone would do for me lol
and they all come to me and tell me about shit and they are all shy and embarrassed at first but over time i get to see them open up more and get excited more and come straight to me whenever something cool happens to tell me about it
why would anyone not want this? why did my parents not want this from me? why did they have to make me feel like shit for being excited about stuff? i shouldnt feel like the most annoying person on earth every time i bring up something im passionate about for one (1) minute

As an autistic person I’m very confused by the idea that “making friends is easy if you put yourself out there”
How do you know who to even talk to?
I’ve had someone say “just go to the same places/groups and eventually you’ll meet someone” but like wtf does that even mean?
Do I just walk up to a person I notice a lot? Me knowing a person due to the fact that I see them often enough to remember their face is drastically different than a neurotypical talking with me apparently.
Idk if I’m just missing social cues or what but me just talking to someone about things I enjoy usually gets me a “this dude is weird” stare.
Mostly just angry at the fact that people say its easy when they don’t realize the mental gymnastics autistic people go through even talking to someone they’ve met before
