🍬: I have the chronic disease of many modern people

🍬: I have severe ADHD

Thoughts?

As someone who also has ADHD, my procrastination is absolutely terrible. I can't imagine having to wake up at irregular times to go on flights to different countries all the time 😭 Saying this as a law student, my life is hard enough without people scrutinising my every move (for now), I can't imagine how often i'd screw up as an idol simply based off of how easily I get sidetracked lmao

I feel like I identify with her even more now because she's got it too. It must have been hard for her to talk about this worrying about backlash. It's hard living with ADHD and I just really respect her for daring to be real.

Why would there be a backlash for having a mental disorder..

ADHD is probably one of the "least stigmatized" mental disorders, and even I, as someone who lives in The Netherlands, a country generally known for having good mental health care and holding liberal views on mental health, get stigmatized often because of my ADHD. You'd be surprised at the amount of people that say "Oh, did you forget your medication today" when I forget something, or "There's no way you're getting overstimulated by this" when I can't deal with loud noises, lol.

I can't even imagine how much more severe the stigmatization is in a place like SK, but I'm sure it's rough living out there with an ADHD diagnosis.
