What it is like to live with ADHD!

I am an optimist and always speak positively and passionately about ADHD. But today I wanted to share my views on what it is actually like to live with at times and how it's been affecting me recently. ADHD is a mix of everything a culmination of all mental health disorders in one.

You will fit in everywhere but nowhere. You're perceived to be full of confidence yet at times have none. You can come across to others that you're really full of yourself even though you're not or not meaning to be and are aware of all of your faults. You are capable of absolutely anything yet sometimes you are not motivated to do a thing. Witty and charismatic but have a low tolerance for people. You are incredible at giving others advice and helping them but follow none of it yourself. You are most likely a genius but have trouble handling your own emotions at times. You are an extrovert who needs personal space. You love being different but hate being misunderstood. Have brilliant ideas but lack the patience sometimes to follow them through. You will have more interests than anyone you know but get bored of them very easily. You can easily understand the thoughts of others but find it hard to translate your own. Always compassionate and loving to a point your good nature gets exploited and you're taken advantage of. People will always misunderstand you. Self reflection can be hard to deal with and to accept but without it you can not grow as a person both physically, mentally or emotionally.

This goes out to anyone with ADHD or a mental health disorder or who are struggling with anxiety and depression right now. You're hero's, there's nothing more scary than having to wake up every single day and battle your mind.
