Produktbeschreibung

Surviving with ADHD.
I felt like I had a problem and sought psychological counseling and psychoanalysis, but there was a point that couldn't be resolved despite my efforts. I couldn't understand what the problem was and couldn't grasp it, and people criticized me and misunderstood me, making it difficult for me to socialize. It was only when I knocked on the door of psychiatry that I received a diagnosis of depression and ADHD and have been receiving treatment for almost two years.

During that process, I changed my work, relationships, and lifestyle, and understood that there was a problem with my brain function, not my mental state. I was able to overcome my self-hatred and misunderstandings. The relief of realizing that I wasn't a bad person, but a sick person, gave me the freedom to forgive myself and an opportunity to live a more comfortable life. I hope that those who don't understand their own "developmental disabilities" can find help to live a better life.

Autorenporträt

Jiyeon Lee, Korean writer, and translator.

As a child, I was misunderstood as a prodigy, and as an adult, I was misunderstood as someone who intentionally hurts others. My family treated me like an enemy. I couldn't even understand myself, so how could I explain myself and defend against misconceptions?

I had no place to belong in life, and I often had to leave communities or organizations feeling like I was being pushed out while standing on my tiptoes. When I learned that I had ADHD, I felt like I had to apologize to the whole world without any reason. With my inadequate social skills, I used to make mistakes and be misunderstood, but now I can give myself a reason to stop and have the courage to pursue what I really want to do instead of just making money. I am now writing, which is something that I enjoy doing.

I realized that having ADHD is painful, but it's okay to inconvenience others a little bit. I tell myself that everyone can be a burden to someone else, and accepting that we all have some weaknesses in life makes it a bit easier to live. I want to offer my sincere condolences to all individuals with developmental disorders.
