Hi everyone. Not sure if this applies here but i need advice. Background- not very talkative person but im getting better at it and expressing more my opinion. Kinda still struggling but im getting there. I don’t know how to express myself the best way, so forgive me if i loose you while reading.

Overall when im talking, i sometimes get talked over for a completely different subject. It happens with friends, family and even at work. Of course when they’ve sometimes realized it, they apologize and ask me what was I saying. Thing is i have ADHD and by the time ive been asked what was the topic, in my head is long gone since my thoughts are going so fast.

Makes me feel like what im saying is not important (insert sarcastic tone) and that makes me feel oh so special 🙃 like my words are worthless and i dont matter (extra points for my depression). I dont want to be the center of attention (not my thing) but i do want people to stop people from doing this. It may sound silly but it is hurtful to me. Talked with the family and they’re trying to change

Any suggestions? Please and thank you 🤗
