Sensitive Just to Clear Up Some Misconceptions (1 Viewer)

[Lovely_Cornchips]

Hi I'm a person with ADHD-have had it my whole life.
Had to go through a crazy long diagnosis period when I was little.
Was put on meds but they fucked my shit up with the side effects.
So I've been off meds for years but I just wanted to clear up some misconceptions that GH
has put out there about the disorder.

1. It does not cause you to misgender people.
2. It doesn't absolve you of having to apologize for mistakes you made-even if they were a result of ADHD or its symptoms.
3. Mood swings can come with ADHD but it isn't a diagnostic factor of ADHD.
4. Having ADHD does not make you a fucking asshole.
5. Having ADHD isn't an excuse to be a fucking asshole.
6. ADHD can be misdiagnosed often times but it also can come with other diagnoses as well.

Please do not listen to GH when she talks about ADHD and don't let her think in any way shape or form that her further stigmatizing people with ADHD is at all ok.
Or that the misinformation she is spreading is at all ok.
Please do research on ADHD and don't take stuff influencers say seriously (at least when it comes to super serious stuff).

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Gabbie Hanna is freaking out and misgendering Trisha Paytas and basically fighting anyone and everyone and accusing everyone of narcissistic abuse while saying she has ADHD and that's why she is being a massive dick.

HALLELUJAH!

What is that?

What is that?

ADHD? It's Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder. It can also just be called ADD which just takes out the Hyperactive portion. But it basically is a disorder where it's incredibly hard for a person to focus, stay on topic, stay still, and not be moving constantly in some way, shape, or form. They can constantly be seeking out stimulation to the point of even becoming overstimulated and getting frustrated as a result.

People with the disorder are VERY misunderstood and there is a lot of stigma around the disorder where people just say it's screaming "squirrel" randomly. But it's a lot harder and more complex than that-for me I have bad mood swings and depressive episodes that can result from feeling so worthless because of my inability to pull off simple tasks.

I would spend hours upon hours studying or trying to study. Or on writing papers. Or put it off because of anxiety. I would sometimes end up having breakdowns and crying for hours because I felt so fucking stupid for my inability to pull off simple tasks while everyone else seemed to breeze through it. I also gt overstimulated easily and can get incredibly irate as a result of it.

Everyone who has it presents differently for the most part but the disorder is already joked about and misunderstood so to have an influencer spewing all this non-sense is incredibly harmful.

Sorry I rambled.

I feel like I am a bit like you

Obviously don't self-diagnose yourself as there is a lot more that goes into having the disorder and getting a diagnosis. Some of the symptoms can just seem like something normal for others.

I can’t focus either

 

[Lovely_Cornchips]

I can’t focus either

That doesn't necessarily need to be because of ADHD though some other disorders can lead to having a hard time focusing.

And I think I am a daydreamer

 

[Lovely_Cornchips]

And I think I am a daydreamer

Well that could be why-or it could be the result of anxiety leading to being unfocused and unable to concentrate. Like I said a lot more goes into having ADHD than being unable to focus at times. So it's best to not speculate whether you have it or not and just go see a professional to get an official diagnosis.

as someone with adhd she can shut up. gabbie hanna needs to work on her own mental health issue before coming for entire communities like this. I strongly dislike Trisha as well but wth.

She honestly needs to get legit help-it at least seems like Trisha is actually getting some and taking it seriously? But yeah I hate that Gabbie is further stigmatizing ADHD.

People with ADHD are already seen as rude due to a lot of our behaviors and we don't need someone like her to make it worse. Not to mention, have you seen her TikTok page? She's completely losing it and needs to stay off the internet for a good few months.

I haven't since I don't have tik tok but people have been talking about it and showing some of her videos including the one she tagged mentalhealthawareness where it appears she's shooting herself or being shot.

Gabbie Hanna has some other issues going on, I swear, she needs to go in-patient

most of the one i've seen is where she violently shakes in front of the camera and yells bc she needs attention. its very strange and is legitimately concerning.
