Can I just say I'm so thankful for this community? My mom is dying of ALS and if it wasn't for Jessica and the ADHD community I would never know how to get through it.

Jessica, thank you for asking the deep and tender questions. I haven't had trauma like you've described in the video, but I'm sure I've absorbed and re-enacted a constant desire to please people and "be good for once," after a youth of getting in trouble for not paying attention or being "too sensitive" to someone's comments or "overreactive" in my responses -- or even being bad by having "so much potential" when I asked for help. It's taken most of my adulthood to find and trust my own voice after deciding I didn't have the judgment to know whether I was good or bad or appropriate. I've heard the statistics on how comparably poor the outcomes are for people with ADHD, and my heart breaks for all of those whose joy has been stunted with addiction, missed education, and criminal records. (I also wish I had paragraph breaks on Android OS, but that's smaller potatoes.)

We're so sorry to hear about what you're going though. We're glad the channel and the community can help you in some way <3
