This oneās for the partners of ADHDers out there.
Hereās what we really, really want this Valentineās Day š¤āŗļø:
ā Your genuine interest when we send you 6 articles, 3 memes, and a TikTok deep-dive - like a magpie collecting shiny things.
ā You taking over one boring admin task or household chore, even if itās āour chore.ā
ā An adventure we didnāt have to plan, but that aligns suspiciously well with our preferences. š¤
ā No judgment when we stim, sing, monologue, interrupt, or react out loud to the movie 15 times. The fact that we do it in front of you openly, means youāre truly special. š
ā A little softness when weāre spiralling. We donāt need a solution or a fix. Just your voice saying, āIāve got you.ā
ā Gently reminding us to take our meds, eat something with protein, drink water - even when we say, āIām fine, leave me alone.ā (Weāre not. Donāt.)
ā A smile when we decide to reorganise the spice rack at midnight or alphabetise the bookshelf while procrastinating. You know itās not about the spice rack.
ā Your full enthusiasm when we pitch a wildly over-the-top idea at 11:23pm. We probably wonāt do it anyway, but being met with enthusiasm means everything š¤.
ā Better yet: offer to run with one of our ideas. Because weāre visionaries, not finishers, and itās magic when someone meets us halfway.
ā Snacks. Lovingly placed in our work bag. We probably forgot. You didnāt. Thatās why weāre perfect for each other š¬.
ā And your cheer when we go off on a passionate rant about a social justice issue we just learned about 20 minutes ago. Let us care out loud.
This is the stuff weāll remember. The stuff that actually supports the version of us that doesnāt always feel easy to love.
What do you want this Valentineās Day - whether youāre the ADHDer or the one loving them?
Drop it below and letās spread the looooove ššš
