we are so ableist about memory. people with good memory take for granted the fact that they can recall as much as they can, and use that to taunt, guilt and threaten people with memory issues. many neurotypes and mental illnesses cause memory lapses. traumatic brain injuries can cause memory lapses. brain cancer can cause memory lapses.

even if your memory is good, it's not right to guilt someone because they can't remember something. trust me, people with memory problems are desperately trying to remember: it's just that we literally can't. it is a very literal "i can't remember".

i will not be doing that thank you

Hello! I wanted to share my experience as a late-diagnosed person. Where a lot of things I did and didn't do because of my ADHD were treated like moral failings.

It wasn't that I couldn't hold attention, it was that I wasn't trying to hold it hard enough.

It wasn't that I couldn't focus on cleaning my room long enough to make progress, it was because I was lazy.

It wasn't that I said something wrong because I forgot, it was because I was lying.

And even though I knew I wasn't doing it intentionally, I started to believe it.

A large reason why I pursued a diagnosis was because I wanted to be proven right. I wanted to have a piece of paper that I could point at and say "Actually, no, I'm not doing this intentionally."

I don't know who needs to hear it, but you are not a bad person for having ADHD. No one is.

❤️

Is it possible to mask your hyperfixations to the point that you have none, because you were shamed and denied the resources to even moderately like something? Or is this not an ADHD thing??

based off personal experience, it’s possible to mask to the point it causes depression, which may explain the loss of pleasure in previously pleasurable activities. in addition to the masking, being admonished for said hyperfixations alone could cause this as well.

but obviously not a doctor and don’t know you personally so that’s just a guess at one of many possibilities. i hope things get better soon ❤️

“don’t talk about your struggles don’t make your disorder your whole personality”

lol nah. you’re allowed to talk about your disorder actually. you’re allowed to share your experiences in detail about something that affects you. you’re allowed to research it. you’re allowed to post about it as much as you’d like. you’re allowed to reach out to others with similar struggles. you’re allowed to be a voice for your community. you’re allowed to be a voice for yourself.

so you dated the wrong person and learned a hard lesson. you chose the wrong major and had to start over again. you cherished a friend who backstabbed you. it sucks, but it’s also going to work out. that’s life; you learn, hurt, love, cry, laugh, and keep going. you experience setbacks and you grow and it’s all okay.

[thatadhdfeel]

forgive the person you were before you learned the lesson

being diagnosed with something later in life is like. oh. so this is why i was lost. this is why i was hurt. this is why i was hated. this is the piece i knew was missing, but couldn’t name. now that name has been granted. and you sit in the doctor’s office chair. you stare at the insurance code. you wonder what could have been, had you known earlier. you wonder and wonder and wonder.

#not feels #mod jordan #this is ab my bipolar but ya #i’m sure any type of ND person diagnosed w something late can relate so posting it here
