RE: It's NOT my fault I'm unhappy...

in #life8 years ago (edited)

I read that post as well but decided against commenting because I felt like the author meant well, and that there are probably a lot of people whose attitude is a huge road block to happiness/success/healthy relationships/yadda yadda yadda.

I've had ADHD my whole life, and it's a struggle. It's also a struggle for my daughter and cousins, who also have it. It's a legitimate neurochemical deficiency, not a choice. So is depression. Suggesting otherwise just adds to the stigma that harms so many people who need help but are ashamed to get it.

Thanks for posting a counterpoint.

It's just kinda been hanging in the back of my mind all day.
