Inconsistency is a big issue with ADHDers.

We can't focus at all sometimes, and at other times, we focus on things for hours, foregoing food and sleep.

We seem to have the energy to do everything, yet struggle to do anything.

This can be confusing for others.. and ourselves.
It's hard to trust yourself if every task becomes a gamble and feels totally out of your control.

Your body is supposed to be the one thing that's truly yours but ADHD can make it feel like we're just in the passenger seat to our own minds.

It can make you feel helpless.
This inconsistency resulted in identity issues when I was younger.

I had little no memory of my past. I couldnt understand the future.

I struggled with self knowledge.

I called myself an artist but I couldn't draw. I called myself a reader but I couldnt read.

So who was I?
ADHD meant I struggled with internal motivation so I had little to no needs or wants.

I struggled to do things that I even wanted to do.

I didn't know why I couldnt do things.

Everyone got annoyed at me but I didnt know why or how to stop.

It was psychological hell.
