oh this is what i love about this sub you can express those negative emotions those struggles and you can see other people going through the same things which is miles more comforting than toxic positivity   the toxic positivyadhd is a superpower mentality can lead to people forgetting  that other people experience adhd in various degrees of severity the environment in which they grew up can have a big effect in how they learned or didnt learn to cope to work around the difficulties also not everyone has access to medication or cant afford to pay a therapist every month on top of a psychiatrist some live with other conditions as well like autism depression anxiety ocd etc some have childhood trauma there is also the problem of people that werent necessarily gifted and struggled in school which in turn affects their future   there are so many things to consider but the point is that many wish they didnt have adhd the negatives outweigh the positives and life can be extremely difficult because even the small things feel impossible when you have severe executive dysfunction it is ok to acknowledge the negative emotions and reject toxic positivity my negative emotions are the reason i looked for help and figured out why i struggled so much and got diagnosed and because of that i am finally starting treatment and have hope for the possibility of a more normal life
