This is so fuckin real for me.
My ADHD symptoms looked a LOT like PTSD/OCD/BPD & so. many. providers tried to diagnose me with them bc "there's no way" I could have ADHD bc I "did well in school" & "made it thru college" 🤬
Not being believed about my own experiences compounded my trauma of feeling like a sociopath for lying to avoid others' negative reactions, feeling totally disconnected from my body & like I couldn't trust my own brain (rituals for locks/stove bc of that ONE time). All ADHD.
