Ok I Just Need To Get Some Crap Off My Chest. I Have ADHD. ADHD Is A Learning DISABILITY!! Having ADHD

Ok I just need to get some crap off my chest. I have ADHD. ADHD is a learning DISABILITY!! Having ADHD does not just mean that you get distracted easily. It is a serious and debilitating thing that we struggle with every day. Saying things like "I can't focus today, I think I have ADHD." Is offensive and hurtful because not only are you self diagnosing yourself, you are also uneducated and invalidating the other really challenging stuff people with ADHD have to deal with. Saying that ADHD isn't real is also not ok. Here is a list of other things you shouldn't say.

It's just an excuse

Your being dramatic

Learn to control yourself

Stop moving (stimming)

It's all in your head

It's not that hard

Your just lazy

Your to emotional

Kids with ADHD receive 20,000 more insults by the time they are 12 than children without it. Here is a list of REAL and SERIOUS ADHD symptoms.

Undeveloped object permanence (out of sight, out of mind)

Trouble Processing change/transition

Trouble Sitting still (oh wow! You got one right!)

Experiencing anxiety when handling boring things or when sitting still for to long

Rejection sensitive dysphoria

Sensory overload

Remembering simple/basic information

Excessive thinking (which can be dangerous if they also suffer from depression and/or an anxiety disorder)

Acting without thinking (which can lead to physical harm)

Forgetting/losing things

Difficulty with Organization

Little to no sense of danger (again can lead to physical harm)

Scratching, biting, picking at your skin. Usually around your finger nails. It's almost always unintentional and we do it subconsciously.

Anxiety disorder

Oppositional defiant disorder

Conduct disorder, depression, insomnia, autism spectrum disorder, epilepsy, dyslexia, Discalculia, and Tourettes syndrome.

Mood swings

Bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and obsessive compulsion disorder (OCD)

ADHD is not a joke, it's not fake, and it should be taken seriously. I have some images that really make me angry.

These are some ADHD friendly memes and pictures I found. Just to clarify none of these are mine.

If you read all of this thank you and please share and re-blog this post. There are a lot of people out there who need to see this. If you struggle with your own ADHD feel free to reach out to me. I'm not a licensed therapist but I have experience and I'm willing to listen.

platonic marriage is cool as hell actually. i'd happily live and share marriage benefits with a best friend who i can hug and go out to places to have a good time with and sleep in the same bed with and say "i love you" to every day and do nice things for because they're my best friend and we're married. platonic love man. i want that.
