"“Isolate as much as you want to become stronger, even if you see that loneliness is an unbearable hell, it is much better than the multiple masks of humans.”"

True story: I was assessed for ADHD and after the assessment the shrink said, “there’s a lot of evidence that you have ADHD, the most prominent of which was that you already went through this process and were diagnosed 15 years ago and forgot.”

Every time I see a post or meme, describing a particular challenging aspect of living with AuDHD, the voice in my head is saying; Neurotypical folk will palm it off as an exaggeration.

No it’s fucking not! In many examples, it can be worse.

“The memory loss from deep depression and trauma is not talked about enough.

It's not just forgetting small things, it's losing chunks of your own life.

Whole days, months, even years blur together, because your brain was too busy surviving to record them.”

Asking Neurodivergents: Anyone else use Foam Earplugs, as well as Noise Cancelling Headphones (with or without music)?

It’s the only combo that allows me to walk around town without auditory sensory overload.

Had this statement thrown at me so many times throughout my life, as I’ve struggled with depression, anxiety, etc. Even with my recent diagnosis of AuDHD, someone will quip: “someone has it always has it worse…”.

You end up not bothering to tell anyone the psychological battles you are fighting.

Thought appropriate :)

How are your energy levels generally?

Do you experience any kind of: fatigue & exhaustion (physically and mentally), zone out for periods of time, feeling of detachment from yourself?

Don’t mean to be nosey; just concerned; having been thru it, wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

My concern is that High Masking, over time, becomes harder and harder, and at the same time, things in your life start to get affected.

I know you’re not so worried now, but from a person who was High Masking for nearly 40 years, it’s taken nearly everything from me.

Just please bear that in mind

Are you looking to get a formal diagnosis, or OK with trying some online Neurodivergent Tests (some are pretty accurate; can help you make a decision if getting a formal diagnosis would help).

Getting a formal AuDHD diagnosis was important for me; this opens up the ADHD medication route.

AuDHD Diagnosed, I am.
Fucked totally, life is.

Costs of ADHD
This is pretty stark…
