When people think of adhd, they think of a little boy who runs around like a mad man. ADHD isn't just for little boys with hyperactivity, it manifests differently for girls hence why many girls don't get diagnosed. I spent most of my life being the type of person who was very energetic and was an easy learner but little did I know that for woman, adhd was only really visible when they hit high school or college. It hit me hard because i skated through class and class not worrying about actually studying because I had a quick mind. When things got harder to understand, my mind didn't compensate and I was left thinking something was seriously wrong with me because I couldn't focus on anything. ADHD isn't something you can slap onto yourself when you're feeling hyper because to me, not being able to focus and being bombarded with my own thoughts isn't a joke. ADHD hasn't ruined my life or made me sad, it made me realize that I'm the way I am for a reason. My brain works differently than others and I am glad to be who I am, inside and out.
