Encouragement

[NotAChevy]

Over the last 23 weeks, I've taken a few minutes of my day, and recorded various resources helpful to me and my dealing with my ADHD. While I hope they've been helpful to others, I must admit I've done them as much for myself- to show the progress that's taken place within me since my diagnosis. I appreciate all of the comments back to me, and have learned a ton from you all; so, this week-since I only post on Tuesdays- I'd like to pause that line of thinking, and do something a tad different.

Today, I'd like to offer a word of encouragement to all of us who are still struggling with our ADHD, or a diagnosis. It's unfortunately not a “one size fits all”, so everyone needs to find what works for them, and that could be very different for every one of us. This process sucks! We all can relate! I've done numerous hours of research on ADHD and modifications, and have learned one thing- if you put 10 people with ADHD in a room and ask them to draw a giraffe while whistling, they'll be 10 different ways of doing that task.

Please don't get discouraged, angry, or down on yourself. Please reach out to a trusted friend, your therapist, or even your clergy staff to get help. There's plenty of folks who want to see you successful, myself included, and we’ll help any way we can..

Have a great rest of the week!!!!

something that I learned helps me and my family is the gene site test. It takes some of the guess work out of meds to try. But you’re definitely right on that we all are the same in some ways. But totally different in many ways too. My partners adhd is quite different than mi e. Our coping strategies are different and each of our strengths helps the others weaknesses. We also understand the others needs but have to adjust on how the other shows their symptoms.
