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.

She probably needs some time to process and get informed. My mother is generally a fan of the "if you don't think about it, it doesn't exist" theory too. But no. It took me years to make her understand that it's useless to bury your head in the sand like ostriches. Be patient and don't give up. Even the most stubborn person eventually gives in to the evidence.

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