me @ my therapist: i don't know how to deal with my anger (mostly about being misgendered)
my therapist: society changes very very slowly, learn how to be patient and tolerate frustration
my adhd: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
#how exactly is this supposed to work#she's cool her advice was in fact correct I've just gone 35 years without anyone noticing my adhd on account of apparently i manage to#function just enough that people don't realize there's a problem#and I've internalized and normalized the suffering that comes from forcing myself to function so much that i don't even talk about it in#therapy#and i didn't even know that any of my other symptoms were symptoms#mental health education in schools when#at least she wasn't dismissive like the psychiatrist I'm seeing for my anxiety so i don't need to change therapists#huge relief i don't know how I'd have dealt with that on top of everything else#she asked me what symptoms led me to that self diagnosis cause she hadn't noticed a lot of adhd symptoms in me#and that's when i realized apparently I'm so used to suffering quietly that i haven't even told my therapist of 7 years all the ways in#which i suffer ✌🏻#cool now i have to process that trauma too it's a mental health issues party!!#alex txt
