“Thank you for sharing your experience with us. You have helped me so much, just by being you and talking about your experiences with late diagnosed ADHD. I was diagnosed at age 47, and now I’m two years into the process of figuring out how to live more healthily with this brain. The first year was so painful. I was a grieving who I thought I was and wanting that person back, having ‘aha’ moments about why big things went wrong in my life so far, figuring out that I’m not actually a bad person when I forget important things that impact myself and my loved ones in a negative way.
So I spent that year trying to ‘plan’ and ‘organize’ my way out of having ADHD. That totally didn’t work, like AT ALL.
So now I’m trying to figure out how to stop beating myself up for having this brain. If ya can’t get out of it, get into it… hopefully this new way of thinking will help me want to keep going.
This is totally exhausting..”
