My Mom has started watching the tv show 'This is Us' and I told her that I've been wanting to watch that for years but whenever I had the opportunity to watch it in the end I couldn't be bothered. Then I said oh maybe it's because of my ADHD in a kind of jokey way ( I've only been recently diagnosed so I'm still learning about ADHD) and she then said you can't blame everything on ADHD we can all be a like that. Then I got mad and said fine I guess I don't have ADHD then and she said No because you have ADD not ADHD because you're not hyperactive.

I've told her a million times that they don't call it ADD anymore but she just won't listen to me.

And she also said don't be like your uncle who blames everything on ADHD. Like all I was talking about was a tv show and she flips it, like I wasn't blaming my whole life on adhd, I was just talking about TV.

She acknowledges I have ADHD but won't listen to my struggles with it. Not being able to watch a tv show is one little symptom that is not really the biggest deal but when I vent about some of the harder struggles it seems like she isn't listening to me.

We've had numerous conversations about adhd and she says she always thinks about adhd as hyperactive bold boys acting out.

It just feels like she doesn't believe in the inattentive side.

I don't know what her opinion is really because she hasn't told me she doesn't believe in inattentive adhd outright but her words sometimes say otherwise.

I absolutely hate when people say we've all got some adhd in us. It's just simply not true.

Sorry for my rant but I needed to get that out or I would cry 😭 thank you

Edit: I understand that not being able to watch a tv show seems like a stupid juvenile thing to say but what I was trying to say to is I can't even do the things that I want to do, everything is so boring to me and i want to change but I can't be bothered to do anything about it. Its not about not watching a tv show it's about what it represents in my mind. Does that make sense?

Recently diagnosed with ADHD and doctor want me to change my migraine medication because it interferes with the concerta medication and I got new migraine meds today from my gp but I haven't taken them yet because I just can't stop crying.

The old migraine medication worked really well and I'm scared this new one isn't going to work as well and I also have to take them twice a day and I know I won't remember the 2nd one.

I just hate this so much. I do want to go on concerta and feel better and focused but I don't want to go back to how it was before with the migraines.

I know it's a stupid thing to be crying over but I just hate change and I wish I could stick to the old way.

My rants over now 😭

It goes like "We bout to make it make it, Whoah".

It used to come on as someone was walking up to audition on the stage.

I can't find it for the life of me

Let's say your at 97 and you roll a 6 on the dice, do you win and go up to 100 or do you go up to 100 and go back to 97 using your 6 moves?

I was playing snakes and ladders with my family and this happened to my brother and I said you have to go backwards now and my parents said no it doesn't matter because he is at 100 now.

In primary school we used to go backwards if we had more moves but my parents think otherwise.

How would you play it?
