Stories on Self Worth

We are raised to think of all the things we’re not. As ADHDers we hear 20000 more negative comments than our neurotypical peers as children (probably more if we’re farther from societal ideals). We grow up hiding symptoms, apologising for ourselves and enduring school and other systems that don’t work with our differences in mind (including our intersectional identities!). We grow up with a damaged sense of self and low self worth. If we’ve grown up with undiagnosed ADHD, we don’t know what’s going on at all and that can feel even worse.This episode shares a bit more about growing up and the messages I received about myself, how they shaped my experiences with undiagnosed ADHD, and what I’m trying to do now to be a lot kinder with myself as I explore becoming the person who I truly want to beWhat I Learned:1.
