I took this SL self portrait to increase ADHD awareness and express how it feels like for me to experience the inattention & distraction & lack of self-awareness aspects of this neuro-biological condition. #brainfog #ADHD #inattention #distraction #ADHDAwarenessMonth

"Behind The Mask" by Maddie Diker (SL name)

Since October is ADHD Awareness month, and the Pose Fair on Second Life is conducting a contest, I thought I'd make something for ADHD awareness. This way I'd have created something meaningful to me and others, whether or not I win.

This was inspired by the imposter syndrome, depression, and shame that comes with ADHD and the masks we wear in order to appear normal. The flowers represent the parts of me that are trying to bloom, yet end up wilting and dying whenever the shame takes over. The internal struggle inside between defeat & growth.

I'm so proud of myself. It's so rare for me to be able to methodically work on a project little by little over the course of a few weeks without losing interest. I didn't miss the deadline either. <3 <3

Attention deficit disorder is a chronic condition that adds attention difficulty (when one individual faces trouble in paying attention or concentrating), hyperactivity ( a behaviour where someone may appear to move about persistently or excessively fidgets, taps, or talks.), and impulsiveness( when you act without thinking). Therefore, if you are struggling with swapping in your behaviour and you are determining it to be ADHD then this blog is perfect for you.
