ADHD feels like everyone else got an instruction manual for life and I didn't, but sometimes that makes it feel like I get slightly different rules. I'm good at basically everything I try even if I can't stick with it and that's pretty cool! I can't control it, but when that hyperfocus hits I can do anything. Learning to work with it has been rough, but very rewarding

I have amplified emotions and I can get hyperfocused and easily distracted and there's no in between. I've had a lot of people dismiss my condition as if I can help it and I really can't. I've been and harsh medications for it that I feel made me worse as a human. There's a lot to ADHD than just "Ah, squirrel " and fidgeting. It drives me insane when people don't or refuse to understand.
