I Was Told I Have ADHD

My thoughts and feelings on the labels that I have held in the past and how they have challenged me.

This one is a heavy subject... Let's get a discussion going.

'Unburdened by what has been.' You are 100% correct, people shouldn't put themselves in a box. I'm actually surprised you are cognisant of this, I have even more respect for you now. People should throw their prescription drugs away!

Dang Wyatt, I know these feels too. I don’t know what’s wrong and I’m sad too. It’s frustrating. I’m here for the long haul and glad you are posting these.🤟🏼

i was on adhd meds from age 5 to 15 and then i quit them because i didn't believe what they were telling me, im here now at 30 years old and i got re-diagnosed with ADHD again. i defeated adhd for so long, or so i thought, i learned how to cope with how my brain worked and how i thought compared to topical people, i always noticed i was different, but never thought it was my adhd. over the years the adhd has gotten worse, but theirs no way to know if it would have been better with medication, im on them now and i do feel a lot better, and in a lot of ways its helped me. but its also changed the way i think, and to be honest, i dont know how i feel about that. iv been on them for 3 months now. and i ran out once for over 10 days because of insurance issues but then started back after. during all of this i realized how much different i was on and then off the medicine, iv gotten some friends to tell me their opinions on how i was acting vs when i didnt have it, and everyone of them told me that the medicine was taking away my personality, and how i interact and how i respond was even different, should we medicate what makes us different from everyone else? because i like being me, i like being different, the way i think is important to me and it feels the most authentic, the meds do help but at what cost? if i be me, then the people that i resonate with will stay, and the people that dont need to be in my life will leave. i guess i just have to figure out what is best for me.

Well i found out looking into ADHD a while ago, i started connecting dots and i thought "damn, if i take this as "for sure i have this", maybe i can use it in my advantage to deal better with myself (btw i had it diagnosed as a child, pretty common then). But it makes plenty of sense what you say about its unhealed trauma. It probably has a lot to do with that, but at least at the moment i think that if one self can connect those dots of who he is, it's probably a good starting point to work on your weaknesses and use your strenghts

A lot of what you said resonated with me greatly, but I would like to challenge everyone who "suffers" from these things to love themselves a little more. ADHD/autism etc are labels, and truthfully, there is nothing wrong with them. The fact that OTHER PEOPLE feel it is inconvenient for them, simply means that they are not your people, no matter how numerous they may be. Even if the government or employers think there is a problem with it, because it doesn't fit their levels of efficiency in modern society to keep everyone on the roads that they have built for us. There is nothing to "heal" because there is nothing wrong with you. It would be considered masking to change who you are for the sake of others. I truly believe that if everyone was their true self, instead of performing in modern society the way we were told to, we would all have more in common than anyone would realize. The unfortunate thing is that this societal conditioning to "be normal" is drilled into our heads as our egos are forming, and we become married to the idea that we should do what everyone else does, to have peace in our lives. That is masking. And some people can't/won't mask to the degree that others do. As I have healed, I have found myself to be more eccentric, more polarizing, more grating on others. More "crazy." More misunderstood. I don't re read my messages anymore. I just hit send. And if I feel the desire to change something, I ask myself "Is this because I truly want to change this, because I don't like it, or is it because I am afraid of others?" Today, I speak my truth. I accept myself more than I ever have. And THAT is true healing.

I think that 9/10 times there is no definitive wrong or right. What your saying is prob true in a lot of cases, but is also wrong. Labels and boxes are always systematic en dont see the individual behind it, that doesnt mean they dont have a right place/function where they can be helpful. But its really complicated and your point is definitely valid.

Hi Wyatt, I just want to let you know that I've been following you for a while (since you reacted to Starset's Icarus). You immediately won me over with your open mind and charisma. I tried a few of your yoga lessens and since I'm not the most athletic person, they were more challenging than I expected, but I enjoyed them and it's quite possible that I'll make a habit of it thanks to you. It is clear to me that you are not having the best period of your life right now, I am having a similar one myself. I will do a job where I will be a slave to be able to live at all. I'm alone most of the time, and when I see my friends, it gets on my nerves that they're gradually going crazy due to degenerating from TikTok(ADHD) and stuff like that. I myself depend on YT, but there I primarily follow things about music production, because I have a dream to make such a concept album and to write such a crazy fantasy book. I hope that I can get out of the system that wants to make me and everyone a slave, but I don't know if I can do it, but I don't have anything else to motivate me to go on, so I guess I'll do it. As for you, I believe that you are at such a level of consciousness that you contact forces from other dimensions and they will show you the right path in your dreams (I'm joking, but at the same time I'm serious). Hang in there man, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you👊.

Autism effects tons of people bro. More than a label. My son is autistic level 2 with severe speech impairment and it's not just because a doctor said so lol. I hear what you're saying though. Sometimes people do limit themselves with a clinical diagnosis of some kind, but we can't just excuse everything as, "it's all in your head." I wish it were that simple but it isn't. The human brain is so complex and interesting. Hope you're well. Cheers from the Motherland. 🇨🇦

No, you are right - it's not just because a doctor said so. It's now because you are saying so too... help him heal. Don't keep him stuck with where he is ❤‍🔥Our thoughts create our reality. Not what a man in a white coat says. Not what our fathers say, not what our schools tell us... We - US - Our thoughts - each person: Creates their own life and experience. So whatever you believe, whatever you hold onto, whatever you keep around will become what is true for you. That doesn't make it true! It just makes it true that you choose to believe it. Help your son believe he can do more, be more, grow further and transcend whatever limitations are put on him.
