Annoyed but stuck
Mostly just a vent post, but also seeing if anybody else relates
Sometimes I’m in the living room with my family, and there’s something annoying/overstimulating and I want to leave but I’m just stuck 😭 I know the stuck thing is a common ADHD phenomenon, but I feel so stupid for being so annoyed and upset and just stewing until I can finally leave.
My mother loves playing reels or music loudly, and laughing at me when I’m being serious about something, and interrupting and incorrectly assuming what I’m going to say, and using seemingly casual but genuinely startling touch on me. And I tell her I’m overstimulated and upset and trying not to lash out and she just makes fun of me more.
I’m generally a very cheery, bubbly person but it’s to the point where I am annoyed the moment I have to be around her.
TL;DR
My mother is annoying but ADHD paralysis keeps me stuck near her.
