People Reveal The “Hidden” Aspects Of Having ADHD That Society Will Never Understand

18.

“What’s hard to understand is when we say we struggle with getting basic tasks done. When I struggle with getting the laundry put away, it’s not because I don’t want to do it. I don’t like having multiple things to do, and I want to get it done, but I can’t force myself to do it. I’ve tried, but it won’t happen.”

“Then, when you explain it, someone will tell you, ‘Oh, but I’m sure you have no problems playing video games.’ The thing is, I do. Sometimes I want to play a game I enjoy, but I’ll do everything other than launch the game. I want to play it, but I can’t even make myself launch it.

Trust me, if I could be more organized, finish tasks ASAP, and not procrastinate, I would. I hate this so much. 

There are times when some aspects of ADHD help me, but most of the time, it’s a burden on me and others.”
