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.
See which ones happen to everyone, ‘normal’ problems (we’ll find the ways of dealing with these too).
See which are down to your ADHD (your extra sensitive brain shuts down at times).
Having clarity between the two makes them much easier to handle.
Then we can solve both.
Decide what you want.
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 (because 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.
LIST 3 COOL THINGS ABOUT YOU:
If you can’t think of anything, ask others to tell you 3 brilliant things about you (tell them it’s your homework!)
Instead of seeing yourself with a disorder, or a screw-up, see yourself as amazing (with struggles like anyone). This different way of seeing has the power to change everything.
When you’re able to be you, acting chill
and confident, it’s all ok.
Look around at the other resources.
They’ll help you too.
