I was at an appointment with my son for his medication management, and I asked the doctor if he thought I may be ADHD as well, "Who do you think he got it from," was his reply. In high school and college, I can remember feeling dumb. Why did it take me so long to learn the information, if I managed to learn it at all? Why did I always wait until the last minute to write my papers? Why did I do so

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. Hurricane Ida sidetracked me. I’ll be posting again soon.

Some people with ADHD have a fear of failure. Remember fear is just a feeling, it can’t hurt you. If you can step aside and analyze the fear you may find that it is just a reaction to negative thoughts. You can also break down the activity you fear into small steps over days or even weeks. You can also surround yourself with positive people who may inspire you to move forward.

I'M BACK!
I don't know if it was having the Covid virus or menopause or both, but my brain fog has been horrible! My ADHD meds help a bit, but they don't seem to last nearly as long as they used to before Covid. I'll be checking with my doctor about that at my next visit.
I'm hoping to post a couple of times a week. Please let me know if there are any topics you are interested in learning about. I'm also thinking of starting a private ADHD Support Group page so let me know if that appeals to you. In the meantime, let me know if you need help in any areas. You can schedule a consultation below.
