Some Thoughts I Had Talking Myself Out Of Getting An ADHD Diagnosis:

Some thoughts I had talking myself out of getting an ADHD diagnosis:

“They’ll laugh at me & tell me I’m just lazy”

“I’ll probably just exaggerate and make them think I have ADHD”

“I just wasn’t trying hard enough”

“Others have it much worse, I’m just looking for an easy way out”

“I can manage if I really try (and am constantly burnt out)”

“I’m not hyperactive (shakes leg, chewing gum and can’t stop playing with earrings)”

“I just have to keep trying and I can become normal one day”

“I can focus sometimes, so clearly I’m just not trying all the time”

You don’t have to tolerate barely *surviving* life. You also deserve help so life isn’t that hard all the time

Like you know they'd leave their things around the others home so they'd have to come and take it back another time. Just for having a reason to come over and see the other one bc they would never admit they missed or wanted to see each other any ways, just bc they were too stubborn and too proud. So once when Sirius was leaving, he left his leather jacket behind (and we all know how much he loved it) and Marlene reminded him of taking it and he'd just act like he didn't need it and it would only be in his way. Marlene knowing him so well and doing the same thing at his herself, immediately knew what he was thinking about. And teasing as they were she'd say she knew why he was doing it and he would just smirk at her saying 'Marls, I know you know it and I know you love it and also you're doing it yourself. ' And then they'd both smile and never tease each other about it again. So when now he left, he'd kiss her and go without his jacket to have a reason to come back another time later or the next day.
