Translation:
I don't remember when it was, and not what the show was called. Not even what channel it was on. But I think it was a British documentary. I was sitting in the sofa just watching. Think I was knitting. Then a documentary started about a woman who had ADHD and the difficulties she faced in her everyday life. As I remember it, she was a single mom with three sons. We followed along in her struggles to manage an ordinary day with getting the kids to school, keep the house tidy, fix dinner and everything else. She showe all these lists she had to try and get structure, and she show how she failed on every level. I just sat there with my mouth wide open. It was like watching your own life on TV. Never before had I understood that this wasn't normal. That not everyone struggled as hard as I to get structured. I just thought that everyone else was better at pretending that they had a grip. That they were better at following their lists. Thanks to watching this documentary, I got help. I got my diagnosis. I got my medication, and most important, I got a better understanding of myself and could forgive myself for all the things I don't always manage to do. If I should be a little bit self-critical (and everyone who knows me well, know that I like to do that), I might have becoe a little bit too understanding. I think I've accepted my ADHD a little too much, and I think our home is messier now than it was when I was un-medicated. I always think I need to get things in order, but it hasn't really happened yet. We're just happy as long as there's food on the table everyday, and that there's plates to eat from. Wish I could remember what documentary it was. I have googled to try and find it. It would be nice to see it again. It really changed my entire life.
