So here's the thing, It's ADHD Month. I'm pretty sure I've informed you in an earlier post about me graduating high school, that I have ADD. This is Attention Deficit Disorder. This is when I can't pay attention too well. It's the same as ADHD which is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. That is when you not only can't stay focused, but you're also very hyper. October is ADHD Awareness Month.
The reason I'm going over this? In one of my education classes we had a guest speaker come in with ADHD. She was talking about her story and ADHD itself when someone asked a question. I didn't understand the importance of this question until after our speaker had answered it. The question was "What other disorders can go along with ADD/ADHD?"
I was half way interested until I heard the answer. A lot of the thing I had along with ADD... correction: A lot of the disorders that I had that made me feel like I was some messed up freak with all these issues were listed. Suddenly it hit me! I'm not messed up, ADD/ADHD is! It's not my fault I have PMDD! It's not my fault two years ago out of no where I had a panic attack and have had them ever since. That speaker made me realize the truth. I'm not a messed up freak. I'm myself. I'm perfect letting my brain do what it has to do. In that moment, that amazing life changing moment, I cried. I cried tears of joy. Someone finally explained to me and made me believe that I am beautiful the way I am.
So, to all those girls and guys out there with that annoying disorder, don't sweat it. To me, you and you're brain are perfect they way you are. It's okay to get distracted. It's okay to have all of those issues that go along with ADD/ADHD. I like myself with all of my disorders and issues. I like you that way, too. I wouldn't have the world any other way. We are all perfect, just the way God intended us to be.
