“The most frustrating thing about living with ADHD is when someone witnesses a shutdown and calls me lazy. I get it, it might look like laziness when I’m lying on the sofa, doom-scrolling social media, but the truth is, I’m in a state of decision paralysis and overwhelm.”

“The frustration is compounded because people think ADHD means we should all be physically hyperactive (and sometimes we can be – remember that time when we did a week’s worth of stuff in an afternoon?), but most of the time it’s internalized, it’s in my mind, and it causes me huge overwhelm, so please don’t call me lazy. It isn’t a choice.”

“I sometimes fantasize about having a time machine in which I could travel back in time, put my arms around the younger version of me, and reassure him that he’s not broken, simply different, and that he has always been enough.”
