5 Things You Don?t Know About Me and My ADHD
by Janice Rodden, ADDitude
August 15, 2017
Beneath my bubbly, exuberant exterior I hide a lifetime of anxiety, but people see a neatly made bed, a promotion at work, dinner on the table, and children who make it to school (just barely) on time. They see a competent, highly functioning, superwoman with a smile on her face. But behind that smile, I?m holding my breath or gritting my teeth almost all of the time ? sure that my house of cards will fall at any moment. Thanks in large part to my ADHD, every task takes longer, feels harder, and wears me down in a way I could never explain. It?s lonely, perplexing, and exhausting. This is what it?s like to have ADHD.
