The adhd monkey

Angiewaa May 22nd, 2023

A guy once said that having adhd is like this: Imagine everyone has their own car with tinted windows, this represents your brain. Obviously, everyone is in the drivers seat of their car and can get from point a to b easy peasy. But with adhd your in the passengers seat and the person who's driving is a monkey. Now this monkey not only doesn't know how to drive but will get distracted by every single thing it comes across. Then you have two options: you surrender to the monkey (which represents zoning out and becoming distracted) or you beat the monkey (which represents fighting to pay attention to things) but the more you beat the monkey the more exhausted you get> And the worst part is alot of people don't know cus of the tinted windows. They just see your car going round and round in circles and you try to explain that your not in control and that its the *** monkey but they dont get it.

I dont know about other people but i found this super accurate/relatable and just wanted to share (:
