If you have ADHD you may often feel like people aren’t as happy for you as you are for you...
..but it’s not because they don’t care, but because of how your brain processes dopamine
Something I learned after my diagnosis is that your adhd brain experiences good intense emotions as well as less pleasant ones more powerfully than others...
..while neurotypical people are at a 4-6 you’re either a 2 or a 9 and so often your high or low can’t be beat.
You’re either flying above the clouds or feel stuck in the depths of despair.
And while this can make you a very passionate and strong-willed person who will either go all or nothing, it can also confuse the people around you.
And so become aware of this. Don’t expect everyone to understand.
And if you’re going through a low blow right now, know this too shall pass and tomorrow may be bright as day.
