My entire life I’ve felt different. Alienated from the people around me. I’ve spent years convincing myself that I made it up. That my experiences, struggles and emotions were just like everyone else’s, they just didn’t talk about it. So neither did I. I’ve tried. Given up. Started over. Done my best. Failed. And the...

Some of the symptoms of ADHD would certainly explain a lot about me, but the only thing I'm unsure of is that I can't relate too well to others on here when it comes to forgetfulness. I'm usually always on time to appointments and stuff and I think I'm okay at remembering where I placed things. What do you guys think?
