October is ADHD awareness month! 🎉

ADHD nukes your working memory.

I actually risk overdosing because I can’t drive behind the wheel without my medication.

My zone outs are more akin to black outs.

Like I’ll completely zone out and not only not remember what I did but there will be a complete time skip between when I first zoned out and when I came back to reality.

And sometimes I’ll do weird shit on auto pilot during these.

Like I once stuck a bag of lettuce in my bed, had no memory of it.

Went to sleep and my foot touched something wet and I flipped the fuck out till I realized it was lettuce.

I dont experience that when I take my ADHD meds.

But no you are not stupid.

Your brain is wired diffrent.

ADHD is a disorder of the frontal lobe.

It affects all of these listed areas.

It’s not just “not being able to focus or being too hyper”.

It’s also a dopamine deficiency.

You can’t make tonic dopmine.

In laymen’s terms.

You can only get dopmine in short spurts by doing certain things.

This is why so many people ADHD struggle with Addictive personalities and turn to drugs or alcohol to self-medicate.

Which is bad.

This is what dopmine does.

And being fucking understimated is horrid.

You ever feel so board and so empty and helpless that you’d rather die?

That’s a classic symptom.

That’s why people with ADHD are 5 times more likely to kill themselves.

THIS is why ADHD awareness month is important.

It broke my heart that so many people with ADHD reblogged my posts not even realizing we have a month.

You deserve to understand you have a disorder that drastically impacts your life.

You deserve access to medication, and good doctors, and good resources, and managment skills.

You deserve to understand that you have probably been horribly abused or gas lit by the people in your life that dont understand your struggle because they never stopped to try too.

You deserve to understand that you are not stupid.

I also have terrible memory loss and have to constantly check that I’ve locked the door or washed the dishes, like several times because I completely forget I’ve done it. Even in the shower if I JUST shampooed my hair I forget it and do it a second time.

It’s so frustrating that my brain isn’t wired as a neurotypical’s and I’m often doing my best to conform with everyone else and failing to do so. It’s a debilitating disorder and people who don’t have it don’t seem to understand us one bit. I’ve forgotten my family’s birthdays or the names of people I see in class and everyone just gets so offended every time I’m sick of trying to tell them that MAYBE I HAVE A CONDITION THAT I CANT CONTROL AND IM SORRY I FORGET YOUR SPECIAL DAY I NEVER MEANT TO. It’s not my fault I can’t remember!! Just because I don’t remember everything doesn’t mean I don’t care about it.
