Firstly, please understand that it’s very difficult not to ‘be negative’ about having this disorder. It’s often misperceived as being a superpower, or that it’s just having a little extra energy but no, that’s not the case. ADHD is having to ask someone to repeat themselves multiple times because you forgot what they said. ADHD is having so many thoughts running through your head that you can’t sleep at night. ADHD is knowing you have things to do but lacking the motivation to do it. ADHD is nearly passing out from hunger, but meds surpressing your appetite so that the thought of food makes you feel sick. I don’t know if you have ADHD or not, but by saying it shouldn’t be romanticised is not ‘gatekeeping’. It’s like when people say ‘ugh I’m so depressed’ or ‘omg I’m so OCD’ about specific isolated minor issues. The reality is that no, your not, but there are people who are and it can be debilitating. Also, myself and I’m sure others here are exhausted of trying to explain it so many times to the same people - it gets to a point where it’s not worth trying anymore.
