So I have always had this doubt in my mind but now its official! I have adhd! I am scared tbh, and confused. I dont know what to do with myself now. Does this mean I am gonna mess up everything in my life just because I have found a reason I can blame all my incompetence on? Or am I gonna try to justify all the times I ran away from things, people, emotions, myself? I feel so lost and alone.

Edit: thank you so much for the love and advice! I couldn't reply to everyone separately but truly i am really grateful for this support! This conversation helped a lot. And i will definitely be coming back to it when I feel down! Thank you!❤️

I was reading something someone shared that they were proud of.

I went to the comments, and after reading just the first one I started sobbing. I forget that kind comforting words are so important.

My biological mum and I have a strained relationship. Estranged.

I remember being envious of peoples kind parents as kid. And as much as I think I grew out of it, I still feel it occasionally.

Thank you for this space.
