As someone with ADHD (also combined type), this REALLY resonated with me! Keep dancing!

Honestly loved this. I've got ADHD as well and can really relate to wishing that I wasn't a "dancer" throughout my childhood and hating the fact that I felt different. Some people just ARE dancers, and that's a good thing.

As a fellow dancer, this hit me really hard. Growing up, my parents didn't believe in ADHD. I experienced years of burnout and distress going through school, university, and the workplace. Only later in life did I begin to understand that I was a dancer, stuck without a stage to perform on. Thank you for your vulnerability, Essa. I'm sure many will relate and find meaning in this post.

Thanks for the kind words! While I wish you didn't have to go through that, I'm hoping the understanding has helped make things easier for the present.
