Why couldn't I have just been made normal?

FUB39

Anybody else just really effing angry? Like, I never asked for this. I hate it. Autism and ADHD together? Oh, lucky me... not. 

I'm recently diagnosed and up until this point, I've spent years thinking I struggled with my mental health and that I could try therapies and medication to treat it and make myself better. To find out that the majority of this is actually Autism and ADHD and there's not a damn thing I can do to make them go away, is honestly just soul-destroying. I hate it. I hate what it's made me. It's the absolute worst thing aout me and it's ruining my life. 

Anybody else just wish they could have been made normal?

  • Define normal?

    There are a load of different ways you could have born, you could have other disabilities, or none, it's easy to focus on those who seem to sail through life without a care in the world, but are they really so carefree, do they not have thier own crosses to bear? It could be that the cross they have to bear is a lack of understanding about the lives of those of us who struggle?
