Grieving the life if my ADHD was recognised earlier..

🫶🏼

I went through that too and somedays it still bothers me. I was diagnosed very late at the age of 53. As a child it was always the teachers telling my parents “she has so much potential but doesn’t apply herself”. Then I would get scolded by my parents how lazy I was. I mean I did end up getting a career in Laboratory Sciences and I did really well, but that was because it interested me. But I still grieve about maybe I could have studied something else and became more. Another is relationships with men. I had some good men in my life but I always let them go. I chose one that well didn’t exactly make me feel like the center of the universe. After 34 years and two grown sons later I finally called it quits. I hear you loud and clear sister. It’s rough when you look at what could have been. But we can’t change the past but move forward with the new tools and strategies we are given. Hope this helped. You’re not alone, hugs. 💖
