Give yourself grace. You aren’t lazy. You aren’t a failure. Everybody doesn’t hate you. You deserve kindness and respect. You aren’t too much. Your feelings aren’t too much or too little- they just are. You are worthy of love and happiness. You are important. You matter. You are enough.

You could check out www.additudemag.com. It was the most helpful and accurate resource for understanding my new brain. Also, “How to ADHD” and “ADHD for Smart Ass Women” podcasts have been Inspiring and have given me hope when I felt like my brain was broken. Keep asking whatever questions you have!

Not really. One day at a time. One moment after another. You will be fine.
