And I just can’t relate to it at all. And I know that I should be grateful that I’m diagnosed and medicated because I know that a lot of people aren’t. And I am grateful that I have the luxury,but there’s still this yearning; this disconnect that I feel; that I’ll never be truly a person with ADHD because I don’t, I don’t know, struggle? But like I do? Like I don’t focus well in class sometimes, and I fidget. But yeah imposter syndrome with your own disorder is…fun.

I guess what I’m saying is that if you also feel this way that you’re not alone??

I feel it too but for a weirdly different reason. I was diagnosed with adhd as a kid and then the diagnosis was revoked as an adult because my learning disability test said “negative for any signs”. I feel so much that I do have it because I have every symptom under the sun and co-morbid conditions but now I’m totally lost because if that’s not me, wtf is wrong with me?? It’s isolating.

But yeah it can honestly be really isolating because like who do you talk to about that kind of feeling?!
