Living with ADHD as a 48-year-old man has been a constant struggle, especially when it comes to dealing with the trauma that comes with it. It’s tough feeling like I’m always behind, always misunderstood, and never feeling like I measure up to others. However, I’ve found solace in seeking help and support through therapy and support groups. It’s a long road, but I’m learning to accept myself for who I am and not letting my ADHD define me. It’s a process, and there are good days and bad days, but I’m determined to find peace within myself and live a fulfilling life despite my challenges. To all the other men out there struggling with ADHD trauma, know that you’re not alone, and seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength.
