Re: ADHD Journeys and the Unbelievers

[Anonymous]

I’ve told a few friends I think I have ADD and they say things like, “Everybody has ADD!! It’s the time we live in!” But they don’t have to try nearly as hard as I do to look/act normal. And I don’t think they ever have the same, “outside looking in” feeling that I have whenever I’m with people for a period of a few days. And I don’t think their house looks like a hoarder’s place like mine does–they entertain in their houses, I try to keep people OUT of mine! They definitely don’t understand what it’s like to contend with this every single day. I have a saying, “It’s not easy, being me.” They don’t know the half of it. I guess when they are unaccepting of it, they might be trying to tell me I’m OK, that they don’t think of me as flawed. They might be trying to comfort me.
