might not be the answer you're looking for, but i felt that. then at 32yo (a few months ago) i discovered i had adhd and autism, and it changed my entire perception of myself - for the better; with understanding came forgiveness and kindness (for my self). i was no longer too weird or too broken, i was just different in ways i never had the means or capacity to understand, and when i finally did it was like viewing my entire life through new eyes and so many of the things that confused me now made sense.

anyway. not to say audhd is your answer, but i hope you find some understanding and some peace and some self love.

you ever feel like you were born with something rotten inside you and if people get close enough they’re gonna find out

#life #me #audhd #self care #for over a decade i thought it was just a mix of depression and social anxiety and introversion. at times i thought maybe i was bipolar #it took someone pointing out that my parents had it - news to me - which made me observe the symptoms for like a year #until i realised we shared some commonalities and once i got to googling behavioural stuff etc. well.. i didn't quite believe it #until i saw people on tiktok - who were officially diagnosed - talking about their experiences/behvaiour/habits/stories etc.#and i was like: oH.. THAT'S ME?! like: brain spark wOAH moment. changed my fucking perception of my past and present self.#i feel lighter for knowing. weight lifted. eyes open. all that.
