“So we learn to mask our #ADHD behaviors and do what’s expected of us—be quiet, sit still, pay attention—when we’re in public. We pay the price later—melt down, feel exhausted, stare blankly at a wall, or scroll through social media for hours just trying to recharge.
Even when others are aware of our diagnosis, we’re often taught how to hide our struggles rather than effectively cope with them."
