Therapist: if you’re diagnosed (and you prolly will be; regardless you’re clearly neurodivergant) adhd drugs could really help you feel better
My brain: haha bad little boy drug go brrrr
#tiger’s roar#adhd#medication stigma#…just ‘cause I Mostly don’t annoy people by Just Existing#’cause Masking and female socialization and mixed adhd symptoms vs hyperactive or inattentive/‘dumb blonde joke tm’#does…not mean I’m actually…functioning. at all#I still feel bored and irritable and struggle staying ontask like. all the time. esp if it’s boring. no matter how hard I wanna just. do it#I’m still so gd sensitive to Sounds that this 6 yr old girl struggling with Volume Control KNOWS#and will sweetly try to tell everyone to Shut Up…by yelling. (her dad teased her bout that)#I still can’t really Spot The Object and it’s not my eyes. it’s my brain#I just do not find Wheres Waldo or Wordsearches fun. i kinda hate them#wordsearches were such stupid pointless busywork for Homework. never fun#I was stuck wasting over an hour on these things when I had other homework of 20+ problems to do#since like. 2nd grade#I can’t get my brain to just do timed drills. I WILL fail those things#thought I was free of that after 5th grade math ‘games’ but no. it’s there in college music theory too#and it definitely affects my ability to drive because I Won’t see street names I’ll see scenery#and my brain Won’t make Routes. at all. I’m like a roomba bumping around til I find The Thing#fine for a mall. awful anywhere bigger#…turns out I also have vertigo. like. every time I stop moving. since a tot. also a Brain Structure Hi Adhd Thing#…buuuut because I’m a girl and ‘raised to mask and some stuck’ (until I have my temper flare)#just. there’s still this ‘but do I tho??’#even tho people with adhd often have their anxiety and depressive symptoms BETTER on an adhd vs (just) an anxiety med#…aaaand yeah. i’m kinda scared since i cannot take the goto anxiety meds at all#full on moodswing cycling and fluttery pulse feeling for hours. l#and if adhd meds DON’T work? they can really fuck you up
