hey homie from one guy with adhd to another dont try to hold yourself down by living up to some arbitrary standard of man youre bigger than that look at mr rogers that dude was an incredible man and what was he about kindness compassion and allowing yourself to feel but controlling how you deal with those feelings   i know that sometimes it feels like your feelings are too big for the situation i get emotional with music a lot sometimes when it seems random or inappropriate some of that is just who you are how your brain works but some of it might be other things as well  you ever heard of cognitive behavioral therapy its therapy thats based around learning how you think biases thought patterns fast thinking vs slow thinking etc been really helpful for me to learn about these things and have a professional show me how they can influence my thoughts in ways i didnt realize i went from teetering on the edge of an anxiety attack everytime i got a text message from a woman i wanted to date to making progress on things that ive wanted to change my whole life   if you want examples of stuff ive learned in therapy lemme know adhd medication helps too of course im glad you felt that you could share this here this sub is great at confirming that im not alone in my struggles and for some good memes youre not wasting my time and its ok to feel this way how you respond to those feelings is whats important and youre in control of that much love from a town called normal thats not a joke btw its literally called that lol
