typical symptoms

Today was a difficult day. Thinking was difficult. Emotions were high, frustration, depression. I was awake in the night writing in my journal, trying to make notes of insight that would help me, impulsivity yesterday disappointed me. Today, I can't bring myself to go back and read much of what I wrote, what I read was okay, at least, I just can't focus on it. It seems when I'm around people, I have really strong tendency to forget the course I was aiming for. It was really depressing to see how hard it's going to be to remember and focus toward a goal. I'm tired, sad, I hope tomorrow is better.

Im really sorry you had such a crappy day. The one good thing (if there is one) about days that are really bad is that it makes the good ones so much sweeter. I'm hoping tomorrow will be one of those you can appreciate.

Sorry to hear that you had such a bad day. I know how it feels. It always helps to try to focus on the positive though and hope for better in the future. I've fallen into the trap of focusing on the bad days which winds up causing more bad days to focus on and so on and so forth until my life is just a mess. Hope you have better days to follow!

Thanks, happy_kitty :)

You're right, I made a point of jogging today and that helped a little. For sure, I have many blessings. I also am trying to drink more water, I kind of neglected to do that, too. I found this checklist on How to ADHD, thought it was cool and helpful, considering it's really hard to think clearly, especially in the midst of it all, I didn't know what to do for myself, she made me laugh and had good ideas. Thanks again.
