if ur adhd AND depressed, the shame compounds every minute you’re mis/undiagnosed & left to internalize the symptoms that not only do u not understand, but that contradict what society dictates a woman shld be: organized, caretaker, laundry-doing, key-not-losing, the together one

not only do we struggle w years (/decades) of internalized shame from “shortcomings” caused by undiagnosed adhd - we’re less likely to get the right diagnoses when we’re young/really need them - but we also shut down when our brains dont work the way we see other ppls brains work
