Hey! I would love to submit this photo. I took this pic of my bedroom after forgetting to clean my room and to take out the trash consistently for a month. I was so proud of myself 😂 My name is Miranda, I’m 20, and I have primarily inattentive type ADHD, or ADD if you prefer. I was actually diagnosed when I was 16, after my parents chose to wait for a while despite being first told when I was 7 that I may have ADHD. For me, being a student at a really good school is both a source of pride and extreme anxiety, because despite my medication and as much access to caffeine that I can handle, I still find it hard to have one sustained hour of work on a good day. If I’m lucky, like today, I can finish an essay draft, but that spent all of the mental energy and concentration that I had for essentially the entire weekend. I do have a studyblr, @whilemirandastudies which helps me a bit with getting my goals in check, but in general it’s all too easy to feel inadequate or like a failure.
