people who struggle with anxiety and depression often can't remember much, bc they're too busy focusing on how to get through each moment. They don't fully experience what's happening, which keeps them from forming the memories they should have

where the person becomes so fluent in inner dialogue that they forget how to risk the messy vulnerability of saying something out loud to someone who might understand them. 5/5

they rehearsed entire argument in their heads,win them, lose them, say things they’ll never be brave enough to voice. they begin to rely on themselves for both sides of every conversation and although this can create emotional insight, it’s can also create emotional isolation 4/5

these are the once who imagine how they would explain themselves if someone ever actually asked, practicing answers to questions no one has ever cared to enough to pose. 3/5

the mind becomes both the speaker and the listener, creating a space to say what can’t be said out loud, to rehearse words that may never be spoken and to feel heard even in complete solitude. 2/5

according to psychology people who often talk to themselves build fake scenarios and have full conversations in their heads often assume it’s normal. but in reality, it’s a form of self regulation, away to process emotions when there’s no one who truly understands them. 1/5

I heard someone say: "You came into his life to show him a love he never had. And then he showed you why he never had it." I felt that deep.

It feels really unfair how people who cause you pain can move on with their lives so effortlessly, as if nothing ever happened. Meanwhile, you're left struggling to pick up the pieces, healing, and relearning the basics just to feel normal again.

And like Miley Cyrus said: “I didn’t talk badly about you—I talked about what you did to me. If that makes you look bad, that’s not my problem anymore.”

People think ADHD is just being easily distracted. The real nightmare is sitting on the couch, screaming at yourself to get up and do a simple task, while your physical body completely refuses to move.

U LET YOUR BAD DAYS AFFECT U TOO MUCH. U DON'T LET YOUR GOOD DAYS AFFECT U ENOUGH, FIX THAT.

Ngl my hyper independency comes from the lack of urgency people have when it comes to me. Moving too slow = don’t worry i got it.

ADHD is drowning in anxiety over tasks you can’t start, while obsessing about the consequences of not doing them

Late diagnosed autism and ADHD is realizing how much of your life was spent studying people and copying what seemed “right”…and now you are finally getting to meet the real version of yourself.

I wish I could explain how tiring it is to live inside a head that never fully rests. Even during happy moments, there are thoughts, never ending cycle

A veces no necesito consejos, ni frases bonitas; solo un abrazo. Pero en lugar de eso me meto a mi cuarto, cierro la puerta, me tiro a la cama y el llanto hace su trabajo. Lloro todo lo que no dije, todo lo que me guardé, lo que nadie notó. Porque puedo sola. Siempre he podido.

I spent my entire life making sure no one felt left out until I realized I was the one who was left out.

ive been telling myself "it will get better eventually" for years, genuinely when is this "better" happening

Cuando me hacen sentir mal y piensan que me enoje, pero en realidad me puse triste, porque yo no los trataría así…
