Imagine being told to dust off a desert with a broom – the enormity of the task feels overwhelming, and the result seems distant and uncertain. For ADHDers that's how daily tasks can feel when dopamine is lacking. It's not about laziness; it's about lack of meaningful impact.

Living with ADHD is a marathon where our thoughts sprint ahead like eager runners. 🏃‍♂️💨 It's a journey of endurance, not a sprint. Pace yourself, find your stride, and remember, rest stops are crucial. 🛑💤 Celebrate the miles you've covered, and keep moving forward step by step.

ADHD is like playing Guitar Hero on expert. Each note's a task, zooming at you fast. Simple stuff like texting friends or grabbing water are notes too. But unlike the game, tasks take time. So while you tackle one, others zoom past you. No wonder we forget to eat or text friends!

Growing up with ADHD meant extra criticism, which kicked off this whole validation-seeking gig. Now, low self-esteem and a fear of failure are the uninvited guests at the party. Pushing to be the best to prove we're worthy, while trying to shake off the doubt. #ADHD #RealTalk

Masking can sometimes feel like you're playing a role, but do the script too long and you'll start forgetting your own lines. Without knowing who you are, the present moment slips away, leaving a void. When you look back one day, make sure you recognize the star of your story.

During group projects at work, your ideas often scramble as you try to articulate them, so they’re often brushed aside. Now, as others hit a wall, they turn to you for creative ideas. How do you respond?

Just a note for those with #adhd: Your battles don't define your worth, it's time to let go of the guilt. It's a neurological condition, not a reflection of your character. Let go of the negative thoughts bringing you down; I can tell from a mile away how hard you're trying. 🖤🐑
