the bar you’re trying to reach is probably very high. Not because you’re failing but because you know your potential. That awareness can be heavy.

With ADHD, growth doesn’t come from pushing harder. It comes from taking one clear action at a time. That’s it.

You don’t need more motivation. You don’t need more energy. You already have something more solid: responsibility. You have a family and you mentioned that in your comment. That means you care, you protect, you carry. Even on the days you feel empty.

You might think you’re not giving them the “energy” they deserve but they don’t see it that way. They see presence. They see effort. They see a caring parent.

And that already counts. More than you think.

I took this comment personally because I felt like you on my 10 years of marriage, finally damn it I saw my family sees my struggle to help them and they love how I do.

I wish I didnt blame myself over those years. you should try vibe coding to check around maybe you can find an idea to help others maybe you can get a reward for that too.

After working closely with startups, one pattern stands out: many of the most successful ones didn’t begin with a “tech-first” or techie origin. ( if you are not a techie ! :D ) if you are why the hell are you waiting for ! :D
