This is why the marriage rate is so low. The laughter over being bad people.

my partner actually GOT a diagnosis as a kid, but got NEVER told by the mum. She hid the diagnosis away for my partner to not get othered. only for my partner to still get bullied. now my partner is 30 years old and after years of struggle is finally getting a new diagnosis, right now.

I was finally able to do some laundry today, yay! Now to hang it up and put it away... T^T

3rd of december is mt birthday, and thats today!!!!

Yep this was my Dad. But I think it's because he was diagnosed as a kid and he had a bad experience with having the label. For me, it helps me understand myself better.

Yep, people with ADHD will be labeled regardless, would you rather it be a helpful or hurtful label?

One question.... How did your sister study before she got diagnosed? (Does it sound creepy? I swear I wasn't trying to!)

Today is third of December…not for me though….

My wife doesn't know it yet: but whenever we are watching or doing anything, something little comes up that triggers this memorypath to something that happened years ago and I still feel gringey about, I just instinctively yell out "TWAT". It's just that I feel I need to yell out something absurd to push me away from focusing on that memory. She always asks "what", and I respond something like: I stumped my toe / forgot to take my meds / just remembered this thing tomorrow / nothing / Just felt like saying twat :D. I don't want to tell her because she is a nosy soul and I would have to go trough the gringey memory and actually deal with it, but I don't want to be that strong yet x)

I have my chem final exam tomorrow I wanted to be a topper this time (because I've never been one in academics and it's my dream) but guess who is again in analysis paralysis and scrolling through ADHD paralysis videos, because I have so many things to do but I'm overwhelmed by thinking about it so I'm not doing anything.

Relatable

Yeah it’s today Uhm looks like no sweater!😢

I have alot of cringe movies I've seen.

Bro actually f my life cause I never get a sweater on December 3rd😪

Withouth a diagnosis, I always thought there was something wrong with me. I was different than the people around me and couldn't understand why. Don't do that to your kids. It leads to major self esteem issues.

Who's here on 3rd December!?

NO, IT WILL ALWAYS BE COSMO AND WANDA PLEASE 😭😭😭🙏🙏

Is that trying to be heartbeat?

i’m still not diagnosed and my mom has known (because i show symptoms and everyone on her side has it) for 9 years

this.

So I had a really rough childhood, daughter of a narcissist, who got me diagnosed with ADHD so that THEY could be the victim... and put me on meds which zombified me and I hated just so THEY could deal with me or rather NOT have to deal with me. So I had always assumed the diagnoses was a lie. Then I got re-diagnosed by my psychiatrist after 2 years of fidgeting in her office (and other things) and it was REALLY hard to deal with my diagnosis. But the more I learned about it the more I realized how true the diagnosis was - and that my kid was also ADHD. At first I wasn't sure of getting him diagnosed because of the stigma... but then I kept getting calls from his school about how disruptive he was and like basically complaining about every ADHD symptom he displays. So I got him the diagnosis asap. The school got on board, he has an IEP and now only one teacher complains about how 'disruptive' he is. And it's been SO much better for him. Even on the playground when he gets really emotionally overloaded about a game or something his friends will step up and explain to others that they need to just give him a moment cuz ADHD tempers flare easily. The more I live with the diagnosis and see my kid living with his and learning about it from such a young age just makes me mourn the life I could have had if my family had actually done something with the diagnosis they sought for me. There really truly is a mourning process when you get your diagnosis as an adult.

The bed crash is like a cloud ☁️ 😶‍🌫️ 😌 ❤

This was overwhelming for me 😭

ADHD diagnosis also make it hard to get life insurance. I’m aware I have it but I won’t be tested for that reason

I hate that!! Drives me nuts!! Those still stress me out!

I’m always told that by my parents and I’ve tried telling them I thought 100% I had it. They didn’t think I did..

My head and gave muscles relaxed… why?

And a late diagnosis makes things clearer too. (44 year old, diagnosed a week ago)

I have ADHD along with autism along with my bad memory and my ability to get easily distracted. There’s also this near obsessive impulse to control whatever I can in my life so one hand I have ADHD, which is nearly in controllable and chaotic and autism, which is all about control and order. My brain is organized chaos

5 year PLANS are stupid anyways. No one knows what kind of person they're going to be in a year from now. Plans like that are for the today-you and they lock you in place and hinder improvement. 5 year OPTIONS however... different story. As in - I know where I am at right now and how I might have options to develop and which of them I'm planning to take right now. Always being open to the possibility that next year me might chose a different path.

"Everybodys Circulation"

Getting my diagnosis meant I could put a label to a “problem” I was able to learn and work with it to find solutions. Adhd is not an excuse. It’s growth 💕

Solution?

WTFWTFWTF-

Are you on medication? I'm scared my 4 year old , he is hyperactive, can have ADHD. And I think I have this also as. I believe my mother has... It's just way too many things adds up.. but I'm Ireland there is no specialist (private expensive) free none... 😢

As a die hard wicked fan for Years I’ll still see cosmo and Wanda 🤣because THE DRESS WAS BLUE in the musical lol .

Im on my grampas phone. I wish my boyfriend was at my school😢 and i wish i had contant with him😭

Honestly it doesn't help Nothing dose

Its dec 3 today and i didnt go to school bc i have a fever and MY CRUSH WENT TO SCHOOL.

Grays anatomy all day long

still waiting for minee

I was evaluated for autism when I was 5 (I’m AuDHD) and they basically not only bs’d my mom by giving her a list of diagnoses that were just the criteria points for autism in a different format because I wasn’t a white man child, but they quite literally said “let’s not put a label on them so they can have a chance at a normal childhood”. I’m sorry?? Do you think the autism just magically goes away if it’s not written down? Do you know how much accommodation I could have received in school instead of getting constant detention for misunderstanding instructions? I relate so hard

Yep😂

I’m not get *his* hoodie BUT I’m getting my best friends hoodie ❤️‍🩹

I would have just labeled her hot and left it at that
