i identify so incredibly much with your story. im only 17 years old, and i had the worst year of my life last year. i didn’t feel like myself and i was anxious and depressed 24/7. at one point, i finally went to a psychiatrist and got put on a non-stimulant adhd medication, due to the psychiatrist recognizing most of my symptoms being synonymous with that of adhd. immediately, i started to feel so much better. i also got 504 accommodations put in place at school and stuff, and i realized i had been working on everything twice as hard as everyone else my entire life. i felt a little like i was failed. im a straight A student and stuff, despite presumably having adhd. imagine how much more i could’ve accomplished by this point had i been diagnosed sooner? though, im so glad my mental shutdown/realization is finally done, and im glad you’re doing better as well!

Thank you so much for sharing your story 🤍
Living with undiagnosed adhd is so debilitating and I don’t wish that experience on anyone! I am so glad that you are doing better now and that you got the aid you needed 🫶🏼

Glad to see you back but I understand
the break. I’ve also found myself having to slow down but I’m okay with it. I just want to read what I want and post videos I’m actually excited about. 🤍

[@michelawilson]

Exactly! I think that just makes reading and creating way more fun and fulfilling in the end 🤍
