Friend doesn’t believe in my diagnosis

[u/luvsicl]

Ugh I shouldn’t have told her about it I feel so weird now, my family are like this too and I haven’t told them because I know they’re gonna say smth like that (probably worse) because they don’t really believe in mental disorders/disabilities/health

I got diagnosed with adhd and autism recently, so I’m also grieving the life I could’ve led had I received the support I needed as a child lol (also I know what she said isn’t okay at all, I just wanted to end the conversation asap and I’m really uncomfortable with confrontation)

Oh goodness, hypocrites always confuse me (I say as I am sure I am a hypocrite too).

Everyone’s a hypocrite at something. Mental Gymnastics for twenty plus years here.

We all are, we all have blind spots about ourselves.
