Thank you for sharing your story, Christie. It's eye-opening to see how many of these symptoms go unnoticed for years. Your description of ADHD's invisible symptoms, especially emotional sensitivity and hyperfixation, really resonated with me. Society often dismisses these struggles as personality quirks or laziness, but your post highlights their deeper impact. The way you navigated through these challenges without a clear diagnosis is both heartbreaking and inspiring. It’s empowering to read how you’ve reframed your experiences and found coping strategies that work for you. This piece will undoubtedly help others feel less alone in their journey
