When I mention to people that I think I have ADHD, a lot of the responses I get are like "All of us have it to a degree" and it feels so dismissive. This is something that has informed a lot of my emotional pain, something I didn& #39;t even know I was struggling with.

It isn& #39;t just that I cant pay attention, or that I hyperfocus. It& #39;s like whatever I& #39;m thinking about is surrounded by a bubble, and other thoughts are constantly pushing against the bubble. Sometimes it breaks through, and it pushes out the thought was already in there.

Sometimes I& #39;ll completely ignore those thoughts outside the bubble. I& #39;ll sorta know they are there but my brain won& #39;t allow those thoughts through. So even though I know I should clean my room, I don& #39;t even notice how dirty it actually is.

Anyway brains are weird. Idk if any of this made sense but it is often how I feel. Might end up deleting this thread later. Curious though if anyone else has felt something similar.
