ADHD is...

ADHD is...

ADHD is being really good at listening while desperately wanting to tell the speaker that you relate without making it all about you. 

ADHD is being really good at learning facts and remembering wonderful memories from 30 years ago in clear detail but what did I come in here for?

ADHD is being really good at art and creating beautiful things and then completely forgetting about why you picked up a brush in the first place.

ADHD is being really good at organising things in piles of doom and god forbid anyone touch any of your piles because now you don't know where things are since someone touched them.

ADHD is being really good at knowing how someone feels and feeling all of the feels at the same time and now you don't know what to do with all those feelings. 

ADHD is being really good at being sociable in places with lots of people but then get me the hell out of here, why is it so loud, why is everyone talking to me, why can I hear everyone across the room but I can't hear what you're saying?

ADHD is being really good at collecting bruises and bumps and having absolutely no idea how or where you got them and why they hurt so much.

ADHD is being really good at multitasking at work and getting things done but wanting to get out of meetings because being forced to sit in a chair, in a room against my will goes against everything I stand for - get me out of here!

ADHD is being really good at many things and trying your best to fit in while being permanently exhausted and worried you're doing everything wrong.
