Got diagnosed with ADHD but feel like a fraud?
The irony → that doubt is classic ADHD.
When ADHD was mentioned during assessment,
1st thing I did after was look up "ADHD vs stressed".
Imposter syndrome in late-identified ADHDers is brutal.
Why that ruthless doubt?
🪫Others don't believe you're struggling.
🪫You were trained to dismiss your needs.
🪫The success came at a cost nobody saw.
🪫You kept hearing "try harder" for decades.
🪫You've achieved a lot and seem successful.
🪫You compare your worst to everyone's best.
🪫Good days = evidence that bad days = choice.
Here's what I'm inviting you to do:
➡️Go back to when you didn't know it was ADHD
➡️List things you used to beat yourself up about
➡️Now count up how many are textbook ADHD
ADHD is real.
Your lived experience proves it.
Comment 'ME' if you've googled 'am I really ADHD' ⬇️
P.S. What's the most obvious ADHD trait in you that you doubted?
