No one gets my ADHD at all. I belive as I am getting older my symptoms are becoming worse & more notable to other. I talk too loud & have pressure speech. Too much. I zone out & can only listen to someone so long & it’s obvious to that person & so they think I’m fake. My frustration end in anxiety & feeling that I can’t do anything correctly everyone feels the right to give advice when they doing my capabilities or downfalls & it makes me feel useless & worthless.
