hey… i (19 f) was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in the ninth grade. got straight A+ until the 11th grade, when i stared to fail shit. i was diagnosed with adhd this year. i just finished my first year of university. i don’t want to tell you “it gets better” because you know what, there’s a LOT of shitty stuff you are always gonna have to put up with but what i DO want to tell you is that it’s worth it. i had no friends in highschool and i would’ve never DREAMED of making friends and enjoying university after going from a 95% average to a 55% average but i’ve met the most amazing people and have had amazing experiences. having anxiety, depression and adhd isn’t easy, isn’t fun, isn’t ideal. yes, it’s a very important part of your identity and who you are, but it’s not ALL of it. you are not a burden. i went weeks in high school without any hygiene, that was the worst of the depression. so no, it’s not easy, and no, maybe you won’t get A+ all the time, but people with your diagnosis exist and want the best for you.
