Like just bc some people can’t power through when you can doesn’t mean they’re lying, they just have DIFFERENT challenges than you do. And other ppls experiences are not a threat to yours-just because I need my meds to function and you can afford to forget and be ok doesn’t mean you aren’t also struggling, I see you and I believe that you are but you can’t attack ppl for needing help when you don’t.

No Real it sucks like why do I have to struggle more with adhd but other people don’t

as someone who has relatively less difficult ADHD, i’m sorry that happens :( like at least i know im just fortunate and not actually better in any way. anyway, reaffirming that pushing yourself harder will do more damage than it’s worth, i wish you luck and hopefully someday some friends who understand your situation 💜🫂

Ik this sounds really specific but I swear whether it’s subtle or outright people can get really competitive about this and it makes me feel like maybe I’m insane and should push myself harder, but more importantly it doesn’t make your life any easier!
