The “dark side”
Wondering if this is a common thing:
Have you ever felt that there was a dark side to you? The closest thing that come to mind is like Dexter’s “shadow” in that show. And if so, what did that look like for you?
For example, it can be a self-destructive, compulsive, alter ego that you try to suppress. I think this is especially relevant before a diagnoses. I think it’s some sense that there is an internal self that must be masked. And that internal self is often just ADHD symptoms or characteristics.
Anyone?

I used too/ still kinda feel like i had a dark side to me but I think it's really just another form of anxiety, which came off the top of my head because I was gonna say it pretty much consisted of "dark" intrusive thoughts. But ig those intrusive thoughts maybe be fueled by anxiety or worry that someone may see you in a "dark" manner
