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

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

And maybe i'm born with it but also maybe it'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!
