Sorry not sorry

I just read a post before and I didn't read it I just read the the headline he said IQ test and ADHD I was like or is it just I'm extremely smart I'm super stupid I don't know I just like to know people's thoughts my problem is is I could ask a million questions but fear of pissing someone off whatever problem was attention. We didn't get enough certain kind of attention not a deficit loving parents thought I had check and all just a figment of our imagination what if somebody put this label on you and there's nothing wrong with you somebody in your life just didn't want to deal with you so they made you take a medication you're on a stimulant what is it do to your brain I know it's stimulants do to my brain. I thought I just wanted to be normal turns out I didn't sometimes some of us aren't made for normal that's just how it is does anybody got a doctor anybody that has made any kind of positive progress I have and I've done it all on my own well not all on my own took one very special man to not give up on me I'll check two very special men to not give up on me I have found no that it's two types of people who always welcomed accepted me with open arms if we all stood next to each other we look like a what you'd see in the makeup pile when you look at the foundation, light-med, med & dark! So thank you for read if you read this far. I also wanna say this. Pharmaceuticals are probably hurt us more then helping. Advocate to have your brain activity evaluated and please make them prove something more then some random paper test. God bless please don't be negitive I'm human and finally understand why I am the way I am. I'll brake the chains of these diagnosis I'm not a mental child anymore. You want an answer stop thinking about what's wrong and focus on what makes you happy. Also we need less phones for kids just saying.

I needed he label because I just kept getting bullied and made fun of because of my difference. My parents still don’t acknowledge my diagnosis that I got at 38, though they are undiagnosed as well and think mental health is a joke. I wish I had meds earlier and so I could stop freaking out and feel like I could finally fit in and help myself learn about my superpowers. It took how to ADHD, the Holderness family and adhd_love to help me learn about my differences, though helping me realize there is nothing wrong with me. It took certain loving people to appreciate my quirkiness and accept me for who I am. It took me until my 40s to feel like I belong in a place of work.
