Does anyone else struggle quietly?

[ADHDMumHere]

Do you ever carry everything inside and still show up like nothing’s wrong?
Do you stay silent because explaining feels harder than coping?
Some days that quiet struggle is the most exhausting part.
Am I the only one learning that it’s okay to admit I’m not fine?

Yes, especially at work. I think I might be depressed actually. I live alone and wfh and have been totally sidelined in my job. I should change it but feel stuck through low self esteem and total inertia.

Yes, having some very dark thoughts atm and fed up of not being able to really address my issues without upsetting or inconveniencing others. I do try and help others as much as I can though, as it keeps me grounded, distracts me and stops me feeling sorry for myself too much.

to all those struggling in silence.

Yeah I do. I feel like I don't really have people to open up to anymore besides therapists so I just bottle up my emotions typically
