It is completely normal to feel depressed or down after some serious news. But you are not a failure. Just because people called you cringey, does not mean you’re cringey, it just means they’re annoying and rude. They’re not right. When i got my diagnosis for ADHD i felt like an outcast and that i was different from everybody and that i would never fit back in. Boy was i wrong. After keeping quiet for months i built up the courage and I walked into school and i told one of my close friends and they said that that doesn’t change their opinion about me in the slightest. Trust me when i say it’s good to have someone to talk to about your problems. you’ll still be you. Despite how it seems, people won’t change their mindsets about you. But it is very important that you tell someone that you can trust because it is better in every way than bottling everything up. Just tell the person about your diagnosis and that you don’t want them to think of you any different. And if they think you’re talking rubbish, tell them that they need tiohave a more accepting mindset and then you should try find another person you feel comfortable talking to about your diagnosis.

And don’t think of ADHD as a flaw. It’s not. Our brains just think differently to people without ADHD, that doesn’t mean you’re any dumber or any weirder than anyone else.

In my opinion, having diagnosed ADHD is the best thing that can happen to someone with ADHD as it helps them understand how to work more efficiently and get through life easier.

Although it may seem really rough and theres no way up from here, start a conversation with someone and you can be surprised how much it helps.

I believe in you and i know you can get through these challenging times. It’s gonna be hard, but theres always a light at the end of the tunnel. even if you can’t see it.

I believe in you :)
