• The Misunderstood Brain

    If only you could step inside my head…maybe, just maybe, then you could understand me instead.

    I tend to get judged based on what others think, see, or feel, but how do you know that what I go through isn’t real?

    Constantly fighting my brain with things like my emotions or productivity tends to become a daily struggle for me.

    I spent so long thinking something was wrong with me. Turns out, I just had undiagnosed ADHD.

    See, people don’t understand that my brain just works differently.
    I might not be “book smart” but my brain has powerful creativity.

    I might seem lazy, but in reality, I’m overwhelmed and exhausted.
    I seem distracted or disorganized cause the thing I just had, I already lost it.

    People see mood swings and think that I have issues.
    Emotional dysregulation is a struggle that I didn’t choose.

    Regardless of the bad that people see in ADHD, I invite them to see the good in it too. We’re creative, innovative, and empathetic, to name a few.

    Though we may struggle with things like emotions or being organized, ADHD is something that should start being more normalized.

    See beyond the stigma and you’ll be surprised at what we can do.
    We’re not broken- we’re brilliant, just with a different point of view.

    • Liz, you are so right that people with ADHD are not broken, but brilliant, simply with a different point of view. I love many people with ADHD, and they are some of the most insightful and intelligent people I know. They may have fifteen projects going simultaneously, but each one is top tier! Thank you for sharing your experience and inspiring me today.
