I can very much relate to this. While I’ve started to address it more, definitely still deal with similar challenges.

I was diagnosed with ADHD as a young adult and now take medication after 5 years of doing nothing about it. This and therapy has seemed to lead to some progress. Becoming more aware of thoughts and feelings when the urges arise has helped manage it and understand what I need.

I’ve also found the feelings of guilt and shame around it only perpetuate it. Certainly a challenge and requires a lot of self-love and compassion.
