adhd is fkn annoying sometimes and i am not here for it.

it also makes me a more interesting and more varied person:

i've been endlessly chastised for forgetting stuff relating to school/university/anything i need to know.

but everybody wants me on their quiz team because of all the random stuff i know from various hyperfixations.

i've been ridiculed for being too sensitive and told to 'take a joke' because i feel things more than neurotypicals.

but i'm also really excited about things that vaguely interest me. i feel Bad Things extra hard but i feel Good Things extra hard which makes me fun to be around.

i've been told off for doing the wrong thing, or missing the point of an exercise when i haven't quite understood what i've been asked to do.

but i've also been commended for spotting things no one else has and thinking outside the box.

i get called disruptive and rude because i often don't listen when people are talking to me.

but i'm also empathetic and will sit with my friends for hours when they need someone to vent to and will try to find a solution they might not have thought of.

i guess my point is that yes, there are bad sides to ADHD. there's TONS of bad stuff. but there's great stuff too, don't count yourself out. you're still valuable and you contribute so much to the world around you.

don't ever try to be 'normal', in my experience it just causes heartache and upset on all sides. i'm trying to learn to love my ADHD brain, despite it's many challenges, and i want to get better at identifying the good stuff, however unconventional those parts of me may be.
