All my life spent in attempts at perfection & lower thoughts of self criticism.

Welcome apricotjazzH !We are happy to have you join us here.

Perfectionism and self-criticism are two things that are common for people with ADHD to struggle with. I know that they are daily struggles for me.

I've found that it's important to practice patience and understanding with myself, as I would do for a friend or loved one.

It takes time and continuous effort. Sometimes, it might even be necessary to talk to a therapist about things like this.

If you feel comfortable talking about it here, please do. We have a pretty good community of peers here.
