ADHD Masking vs Unmasked

Описание: ADHD Masking | Surpressing Excitement or Energy

Now remember just because you relate doesn't mean you have ADHD. There are so many reasons we suppress our trueselves in our society. I'd explore every possibility and healing modality as well.

Have you ever suppressed excitement over a person, place, or thing in order to seem more “chill?” Taking it a step further maybe you suppress high energy often due to being told at multiple points in your life that you were “too much?” or being made fun of for being too excited! Whats even worse, especially for Black folks who are neurodivergent, is expression that is often taken as anger…but it’s just being expressive about a situation. I have a video Ill share on that too.

I know I've suppressed my excitement to look more chill, but im finding that that also dims my natural joy. I Dont find it worth it anymore. Whether its ADHD being surpressed or an internalized feeling that i Dont deserve happiness surpressing me. Its not worth it.

Can you relate? What are somethings you’ve done to feel a bit more energy in a safe space? I'll answer as well in the comments.

With love.
