Difficulties are things which show a person what they are”. - Epictetus
Get to know yourself.
Don’t look at yourself as a ball of dysfunction. Your gifts and talents, beautiful sensitivity, goodness, drive and survival instincts come FIRST! We can sort the struggle out; it’s NOT the sum of who you are.
Divide your problems up.
Recognize which are ‘normal’ problems which happen to everyone, (we’ll find the ways of dealing with these too).
Identify which struggles down to your ADHD (and your extra sensitive brain shutting down at times).
Having clarity between the two makes them much easier to handle.
Then we can solve both.
Have a vision.
People with ADHD are often so busy surviving that they don’t make a vision for their lives.
Without a vision it’s hard to make your dreams come true.
Attract what you want.
To attract what you want, you must do/ be it yourself.
Example: if you want to be valued, you must value yourself first, otherwise, you’ll find you search for OTHER people to value you, and by doing this, you give away your power.
Often, we give our power to people who aren’t capable/ worth giving our power to. They are incapable of loving us as we need. (Actually, no one can meet all your needs, and no one CAN save you, but you).
You might say, ‘REALLY?... You’re talking to a depressed person here, and you’re asking me to value me?’
I know, I hear you, I’ve been there…
You DO have to do this (and it’s not that terrible), but here’s another way for now:
See yourself as unique (you are!)
Know you’re OK, great even!
Sure, you may be depressed, but the sensitivity that makes for the struggles, is also the foundation of your brilliance, uniqueness, creativity. I’ve never seen it any other way.
Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning”. - Gloria Steinem
