I disclosed my adhd symptoms to my African mum and regretted

So I told her about it now cause since I was small my mum has been scolding me for forgetting things nd being easily distracted ,I remember how I do cry then when ever she scolds me for what I am not doing with pure intentions.i have not gone through physical therapist consultation but the video about adhd online aligns with what i have been going through so I decided to ask Ai for adhd test then my score was 60/100 then I messaged my mum today so she would assist me with a therapist to be sure of it then all she started saying is thar I am overthinking nd that I am calling bad things upon myself then what made me sad the most that she said that I am doing it to myself intentionally, i dont really open up to people cause Nigerians will make u look stupid when u are saying something that does not have enough awareness meanwhile my mum has always been complaining that I don’t open up to her whenever something is wrong with now I did but she turned me down, i have been wiping since and overthinking cause i have nobody to open up to and I have no siblings to tell how hard I have been trying to focus the only person I have feels like I am composing a health issue

I also asked my mom for help about my poor concentration when I was young. She just scolded me for not trying hard enough. (= Typical Korean mother response 😂) 4 years later I got diagnosed (I saw an ‘adult adhd’ video and went straight to the doctor. ) and that was when she started to believe me. I recommend getting a professional opinion by your self and showing her.

Probabilmente le serve del tempo per realizzare e informarsi. Anche mia madre generalmente è una fan della teoria "se non ci pensi non esiste". Ma no. Ci ho messo anni per farle capire che è inutile mettere la testa sotto la sabbia come gli struzzi. Abbi pazienza e non arrenderti. Anche il più testardo prima o poi crolla davanti all'evidenza.

I’m sorry about that. People have a hard time understanding this is real sometimes.
