@mondyna: Just sharing a vulnerable moment of me processing in real time in case anyone has been there too 🥲🫶🏾 Two hours before the first big exam in my program, I was sitting in the library crying because I felt so overwhelmed and so behind. I would never even dream of looking at another neurodivergent person and ask “why can’t you just be normal” but watching this back, I see how easily I say these things to myself. I can’t say I love myself and keep speaking to myself this way… it’s unacceptable. I came into my doctoral program wanting to prove that I could manage my particular ADHD diagnosis differently, that I could push through without stimulants, that I could find another modality, literally anything else! But after sitting there so over it, ready to go to bed, I had to be honest with myself and I realize that attempting to prove a point is really hurting my mental health. Thank God for my putting people in my life who shortly after that moment reminded me that I was capable. Like my friend Liz randomly showed up, reviewed with me which calmed my anxiety, and prayed with me. If that’s not God’s hands then I don’t know what is 🥲❤️ #ADHD #ADHDInWomen #ADHDStudent #ExecutiveDysfunction #GradSchool
