Your Day Is Getting Better — Starting Now

Everyone has bad days. But when you've got attention deficit disorder (ADHD or ADD), it sometimes feels like the universe has conspired against you and no amount of effort or positive thinking will make a difference.

Here's the thing: Negative thinking just leads to lower self-esteem, which leads to bad choices and even worse reactions. Stopping that negative cycle is hard.

You work twice as hard as everyone else just to maintain a sense of normalcy, so you know what it means to persevere in hard times. This resiliency is a huge strength — one that many adults with ADHD don't give themselves enough credit for possessing.

"Different" is not bad; in fact, it can be incredibly good. Apple Computers was different. Tesla Motors was different. Amazon and Facebook were, too. AND SO ARE YOU.
