adhd is: 

me: i cant figure out how to do this!

shitbrain: lets get really aggravated and focus solely on defeating and mastering this single activity for the next week, you can not ask for help that means you lose

adhd is also:

me: *has now spent years working on how to identify when I need help and how to have the courage to move past my guilt, shame and anxiety about asking for help and finally after weeks of solely focusing on this thing and trying to accomplish with no success is ready to ask*

me: hey, I’m a little stuck on this thing. how do i do it?

other person: oh i’ll have to show you sometime, later…

another person: i’m not gonna help you. why isn’t it done yet? you don’t need help, you just don’t want to do it

person #3: what part don’t you get? it’s so easy. *starts talking really fast* you just do it, and then the other thing, and this bit here, and your done (there is no details or explanation, but there is lots of jargon, and you’re more lost than ever)

different person: have you tried sticky notes? oh i know – my adhd son breathes oxygen and that helped him accomplish every feat known to man, it’s all you really need, that and a can-do attitide

me: okay thanks

me, later: *crying*
