@skeletonsong14 Toss in anxiety, depression, grief and the responsibility for family members with a lot of the same issues and it can become overwhelming at times. Prioritize self care and then allow yourself to focus on your priorities. Asking for help when I need it is the hardest part for me.
@skeletonsong14 I’ve had that exact conversation with myself more times than I can count. Some days are tougher than others. Today for example is really hard. I have to do what I can do and fight to keep the overwhelming amount of things I have left from shutting me down completely.
@skeletonsong14 What I forget is that even though I can function more it is still within the scope of having ADD. I’ve found checklists to help a little and need to remember to give myself grace and space to do things one at a time. I’m not going to suddenly become a type A super organized guy.
@skeletonsong14 At least now a lot of things make sense as to why I can’t just do things I want and need to do. I always felt guilty and faulty for not being able to just do normal tasks like normal people.
@skeletonsong14 I figured out my ADD at age 48 after Amanda’s diagnosis. Meds have definitely helped but I’m still trying to figure out how to function sometimes. I find myself wishing I had known 40 years ago but back then there weren’t good meds or awareness. Still a daily struggle.
