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
I just really wanna kiss you??
