So, I kinda want to touch on Adult ADHD and it's impact on my life. I know a lot of people don't have a full understanding of how varied the symptoms of the disorder are so I just wanted to share my own experiences living with it. It's not a "OH SHINY" sort of distracted mind sort of condition but it can be hard to live with untreated, and without support. 1/? #MentalHealth #ADHD
@PaganMother THis is a really important thread! Thanks for putting it and yourself out there.
@ATXJane Absolutely agreed, there's a lot of fem and masc individuals that get diagnosed earlier than I had been and are in far better condition than I and many from my generation had. Just having compassion for each other is a genuine facet of humanity that we long bury with distance, and disconnect that most social media networks provide. This one hasn't yet, every day I see more and more wonderful people connecting and talking more kindly than any other space I've occupied.
@ATXJane And that in itself is a good purpose to keep. Connectivity in social network should and can be a good priority to keep.
@PaganMother I think you made a really good case for early diagnosis and compassion and an attempt at understanding for anyone of any age who has ADHD.
