   It is astonishing how quickly stuff can pile up: junk, dishes, laundry, trash… debt… as people with ADHD we are told not to sweat the small stuff, but if we do that we forget about the small stuff, and then it becomes big stuff. And if we *do* focus on the small stuff, it’s easy for it to feel overwhelming and never-ending and anxiety-inducing, making us paranoid and miserable.

   Finding a middle ground is so, so hard to do.

     The thing is, it IS possible to find that middle ground and manage things… to an extent. You’ll probably never be as “put together”as a neurotypical person, and it will be much harder for you than for them, and they very well might not understand why. But you can get by, and some people manage to thrive despite the difficulty.

     I know it feels so hard. I know you just want to sleep, or hide. But don’t give up. You’re worth it. #adhd #neurodivergent #neurodiversity
