Really love this! I have ADHD myself and have really struggled with the dopamine cravings and internalized hyperactivity. Before I got my diagnosis last year, it felt like I was just an undisciplined pleasure seeker who couldn’t be trusted to follow through. Now with the benefit of insight, I can have more self compassion and I’m slowly trying to build back trust with myself. It’s been a complicated journey but glad to learn from others like you who know the road 😊
Thank you! I am grateful you got something out of it. What you described sounded like my life; although, I never went the doctor route.
Self-compassion and trust is huge. It’s constantly balancing being too harsh on yourself, yet still holding yourself accountable. All while repeatedly trying to not forget or move onto something else.
It took 4-years of trial and and error, but I was able to overcome chronic ADHD without Ritalin or the like.
