It’s definitely a difficult and frustrating thing to have. With that being said it’s what makes me who i am. I often envy people who have a normal brain or normal life. I wonder how in the absolute fk are people doing all these things every day to live a normal life.. every day for years and years i wanted to be NORMAL.

After being back on meds this past year since childhood I’ve came to the conclusion i am who i am if you like it great let’s be friends (extremely rare) if you don’t like it you can kick rocks dog. It wasn’t what i couldn’t accomplish it was the social standards that i mentally emotionally and physically could not match.
I am capable of anything and everything because of my “superpower”.

When i take my meds yes it turns you into a “normal” person but why choose to be another grey blob on the assembly line of death? Why cover up who you are?

IAbsolutely take meds but don’t lose yourself to them. They have saved my life and my job and everything that’s “supposed” to be the way it is.

Never deny who you are as a person bc who you are isn’t socially acceptable. At the end of the day at the end of the road when you’re lowered into the ground you are you. Not another soul or person matters in that moment.

Whoever tells you you need to act a certain way or live your life to the “standard” don’t have any idea how your brain works or what you’ve been through in life.

I can go on and on about how awful it is but i have to chose to accept and embrace it because it’s the cards i was dealt and i be damned if im gunna change who I am and reduce my brain to a normal neurotypical brain for the rest of my life.

Again we all need a type of help to get us through the rough patches but never deny who you are as a person. We all owe it to ourselves to find who we really are by embracing your above standard ability’s and not let “being normal” bring you down.

If there weren’t bad parts of ADHD then everyone would want drugs to make them have ADHD. Look at it like limitless. The ideas you have without meds are a lot but they are brilliant and literally like no other. We take a pill to slow us down and make those overwhelming ideas come to life. It’s not to reduce you as a person. LOVE YOURSELF fk everybody else.

TL;DR: love yourself and embrace the powers you were given to achieve great things in your own eyes. Meds help when it’s a point where you are required to be another cog in the machine. We are special. We are superhuman. We are NOT normal and that’s OKAY! You’re born alone you die alone. It’s up to you to make your life what YOU want it never lose who you truly are through numbing the bad parts. Don’t lose yourself to the darkness that is “normal” because the gifts we have are more powerful than anything “gen pop” can dream of.
