@annavatuone: The “ADHD Tax” is a term I discovered on TikTok and I remember thinking I had never related to something so deeply. The amount of phone chargers I’ve had to buy, the jewlery I’ve lost, the keys or credit cards I’ve misplaced…. it all. adds. up. The hardest part in these moments is realizing that instead of trying to "fix" my forgetfulness, the better thing to do is to extend myself grace. Because I am going to forget again. I will inevitably continue to lose things. And when I do, I want to know I have my own back. That I can count on myself for a warm hug and some comfort, not criticism. Making this video actually really helped. Have you ever struggled with this before? 🥹 #adhdtiktok #adhd #adhdwomen #adhdtax #adhdinwomen #adultadhd #adhdprobs #adhdcheck #adhdtok
St Anthony, St Anthony please help Anna found her special earring.

Oh Vatuone ❤️I’m SOO sorry you’re overwhelmed. Get some rest. I’m sure T is understanding but know “things” are replaceable regardless. You’re feelings are valid. 🥺

Awwww, my friend. I’m going to say to you what you would say to me: it’s okay, it was an accident, you aren’t a bad person. Forgive yourself.

This one struck deep! Not only the money you spend but the stress it causes to lose those items. I lost my entire jewelry case in Italy. Im still thinking ab those items a year later.

If I actually sit and ruminate on the adhd tax, it’s exhausting. Not a single object I’ve loved I’ve managed to keep lmfao. Sorry you’re going through it mama🫶

I feel like for us as well, we form emotional attachments to things so it physically hurts our heart when we lose things like this 💕

this is SO relatable. i won’t remember to do things, basic human things without writing them down & when i forget one, a forgetful moment turns the whole day into a spiral. it is so exhausting.

My guy feels this way and he struggles with ADHD.. he’s lost or broken many things and I always tell him they are all replaceable in some way and make sure to give him love. Giving the same to you💗💗
