How to deal with jealousy and resentment
Post Content
As the title says, Id like to know how you all deal with feelings of resentment and jealousy towards others, specifically others with ADHD. Maybe I'm the only one who feels this way, I dont know. For example, Ill see so many posts on this subreddit about people with ADHD who are following their dreams and are doing great at life and managing to do all these things and get jobs and PHDs, even with a late diagnosis or without any meds, and have all these achievements under their belts, and I really want to be happy for them and go "Wow congrats you did it" but instead I feel this brewing resentment. Even though I was diagnosed pretty early, i have to take so many meds just to be barely functional, ive spent so much money on years of therapy and doctors and its still not enough, i struggle with the most basic of tasks, ive pretty much had to give up on all my dreams because I cant manage to study or to get a job or have any executive function whatsoever. Meanwhile, it feels like everyone else has got the perfect formula down and is doing great. Its even more painful when its people achieving my dreams while being much younger than me. It honestly just makes me cry and feel so hopeless about everything. Why does it feel like I got some special ultra difficult ADHD? Sorry, i dont want to be the victim, I just felt like venting.
