Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture... Do not build up obstacles in your imagination”.- Norman Vincent Peale
ADHD magnifies everything.
Eg. senses such as hearing, touch, taste are heightened.
Good things are super good, and the bad things super bad. An emotional seesaw.
ADHD comes from being born different, but not in a bad way; unique, sensitive and aware.
However, the results of some of the effects make for fear and loneliness:
Being aware and sensitive means that it’s difficult to concentrate on just one thing because there are so many things going on.
This makes it difficult to learn and understand when you’re not focused.
When attention is scattered it looks like a lack of trying, but really, it’s focusing on SO MUCH.
Because there’s so much to focus on, it’s easy to forget things other people are easily irritated by this.
Sometimes the overloaded brain shuts down and zones out.
Because most people don’t have such acute sensitivity and awareness, it’s difficult for them to understand. What’s more, they pick on problems and dysfunction, missing the incredible brilliance, gifts, and talents.
It’s scary to be different (until you embrace it!), because everyone wants to belong.
When you become your true self, you become effortlessly popular.
It can feel scary, hopeless, as if there’s no way out. Which is why we’re here, to help make sense of this situation.
It feels scary to feel out of control and overwhelmed.
It’s scary because you know you have wonderful potential. Therefore, you just want to get out and live. Sitting in, working on homework, etc. is hard as hell.
And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.” - Haruki Murakami
