hey, who has an adult adhd journey? I would be so grateful to hear more.

I& #39;m realizing that I spend a LOT of energy holding things together in my head and maybe I don& #39;t need to do that? and feel tired and like a failure all the time? Even tho I& #39;m not a failure? Like at all?
I feel like I& #39;m just inertly watching plates spin and when they fall I& #39;m like oops there goes another plate, but at the same time I feel like I& #39;m CONSTANTLY RUNNING AROUND SPINNING AND CATCHING PLATES

And maybe i& #39;m born with it but also maybe it& #39;s quarantine?
My thirties have been all about realizing 1) how much of my energy I spend covering and compensating for my perceived failures 2) how fucking unnecessary it is to do that, and 3) how incredible my existing support systems are. I just need to lean on them more!
