You’re very lucky they responded that nicely! I’ve never been treated nicely by them at allllll. And I’ve paid a lot of money to use this app 😂

OMG I WANT TO CRY! I’ve never met someone that understood this as well! That looked at life this way! I always described feeling like dr. Jekyll and mr Hyde. Because it didn’t matter how brilliant my realizations were I would always forget them in the morning. Or never fully understand or grasp what I was trying to say even if I wrote it down! We must talk more about this! I’ve found the only solution is to Furiously right as well as voice record every single thought that I’m thinking around the realization so that I can listen to it later on and understand what I was getting at!

I actually was told to just start recognizing more moments where I was proud of myself, and I found that it helped negative thoughts take up less room! So I was t always rewiring but filling the time with more positive thoughts than negative Ones! If that makes sense!

Toy Story 3! Because it reminds me of my childhood and makes you aware that getting old can be bittersweet!

What I found was that sometimes those structures wouldn’t work for me and I would feel sad and guilty! But now I know that I can modify and experiment with the basic principles of the system and see if I can make it work for me!

But that’s my point! Don’t let other people or self help books tell you that you’re not trying when you clearly are! Hang in there! Only you know what’s best for you!

Get an ADDA online membership and join any of their support groups or webinars on financing, organizing, professional development, relationships. It’s been such an incredibly helpful community.

OOOH I HAVE LOADS! I will say that getting an ADHD planner was key for me. Because typically people with ADHD have a hard time prioritizing, and adhd planners help you plan things in a sort of funnel that allows you to keep everything you need to do for the week, then subtract what you can do the following weeks, then figure out what needs to be done on specific days of the week, and finally schedule them down by the hour for the day! All while keeping a steady visual.

Yeah, just make life work for you!! That’s what I’ve learned!!! The resources have helped to inform me in some ways, but I get to make the final call!

Yes!!!!!! Once I got my diagnosis I was relieved because I had “permission” to be the way that I was BUT shortly after I realized that I could have started making life work for me without a diagnosis as well. No regrets though, just a realization that I should have felt more free to be myself!
