You know, I never see any positivity posts for people who have ADHD and struggled because of it. So shout out to ADHD kids who:

  •  Were told they were just lazy, stupid, or weren’t applying themselves
  •  Were put on medications with side effects worse than the intended effect
  • Tried so hard to study, and just couldn’t do it
  • Who had to be pulled from regular classes to be put into smaller ones away from all of their friends, and later had to awkwardly explain or excuse why
  •  Have so many incomplete works because they got distracted and just never went back to it
  •  Could relate to the “stupid” characters in TV shows who were forgetful or easily distracted and treated as a joke
  •  Had their interests/hobbies taken away from them as a last-ditch attempt to get them to focus
  •  Are always running late
  •  Are effected by their ADHD daily and ignored by the mentally ill community for ADHD “not being serious enough.”

You’re super cute, and great for getting through all of that.

ALSO SHOUTOUT TO THE ADHD ADULTS WHO ARE DENIED CARE OR SUPPORT OR JUST PLAIN TOLD THEY DON’T EXIST BECAUSE ADHD SOMEHOW MAGICALLY VANISHES ON YOUR 18TH BIRTHDAY

It’s beautiful. Life is beautiful. Life is challenging and throws many fucking obstacles at you, but it is beautiful. Never forget that.

It’s important to normalize mental illness. It’s important to normalize asking for help with depression or sadness or mental illness or just feeling overwhelmed. It’s important to TALK about these issues without stigma or shame. Doing what you need to do in order to take care of yourself is important because YOU are important.

Thank you for helping the conversation, Tyler Posey.

Dear person reading this,

You made it through another year. You made it through the hard times and pain. You made it through all the times when you all you wanted to do was give up. You made it. You made it another year and I promise you can make it another year. I am SO proud of you.

I needed this.

I needed it too.
