A lot of people out there say ADHD is a gift, meanwhile a lot of people who have it might not see it that way. Just think it through, and you can make it work. Get distracted easily? Turn off the lights and put a spot lamp on what you need to focus on. It’ll turn into a gift real quick, cause once you can focus, you can knock hours of work out in minutes.
The thing for me is that it’s not the focussing that I have a problem with, I’ve known that I’ve had adhd since I was like 5 so I’ve been learning to manage it since forever, is the fact that I never have to motivation to do anything. Like I know I have to do it but I just can’t and I know that that’s not adhd but sometimes things just don’t happen.
I’m sorry, I didn’t see this till later, and I’m even more sorry cause the answer isn’t simple, but I can make it make sense. Motivation will not come before the action, willpower and discipline have that job title, but once you start and see the progress, that’s when motivation takes over, and you won’t be able to stop.
I like this line of thinking. Yes, we are resilient beings!
Wise ✌🏻
I think Its a gift if u know how to use it. Its a curse if u don’t know how to use it properly.
It's like saying “you have to just try harder” like if any of us didn't already try hard enough 😆
trav_grow is right. Trying harder never got any of us very far, because a lot of us didn’t realize how much of a brick wall we were actually faced up against.
The awful part is, when most of us do try harder we get told “stop overthinking it”. Sorry it’s all or nothing boo 😆🤦🏼♀️
Challenge: instead of thinking "try harder", tell yourself "try differently". This is what I'm taking away from your post jerichOG.
Work-arounds, compromises, or downright manipulative behavior against yourself to trick you into something. Whatever method you use, it’s worth it to bend your reality a bit to make it easier.
yeah, but it's not always that easy
