Just got my ADHD Snapshot and one line stopped me cold: I've spent my whole life "putting on a front" and calling it tiredness. Turns out the exhaustion was never from doing too little - it was from holding two people together at once, the one everyone sees and the one keeping it all running underneath. The other realisation? The kindness I'd give my 13-year-old self is exactly the kindness I keep refusing to give me now.

📅 Daily Check-in - June 30, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Right now I feel... I don't know. Not feeling much of anything. I can feel a little bit of anxiety in my chest. It's wanting to come forward, but doing my best to suppress it. What's really bothering me is... I can't move forward. I need to get rid of my rock. In the meantime, I found a rock that is in front of the original rock. Neither is easy, they wouldn't be if they were called rocks. One is basically telling my dad that I'd prefer he move his camper to a campground and live there rather than in it and using my electric, my wifi, my streaming (were part of the lease agreement). He's now doing laundry here. I've had to deal with his negativity, and we have nothing to talk about. It's the same old stories, same complaints, the same grudges. He's got to go. How do you tell that to a parent? I will be going to bed by my original planned bedtime. I woke up late and feel like I've lost part of the day, even though I'm not doing much because of the hand still wrapped from surgery last week." 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 7/10 ⚡ Energy: 6/10 🎯 Focus: 6/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 8/10 🔥 Motivation: 7/10 ⭐ Average: 6.8/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 🛏️ Good Sleep 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🌬️ Breathwork ☕ No Late Caffeine ⏰ Intermittent Fasting 💊 Took Supplements 🙏 Prayer 📵 No Social Media ⏱️ Time Blocking 📚 Reading 🧠 Learning 🤝 Helped Someone

I didn't understand how to use the template within the Ai for one. I did what I thought was meant.... DEFINETLY do NOT appreciate it saying I "earned my rest". Earning rest is the same as earning food or even water & air.... Not to be a negative Nelly in anyway, but sht like this is triggering af for me. Like I've had enough smack being thrown at me and I never appreciated it, definitely even less today and especially NOT from Ai.....Really fighting tooth n nail every hr of every day with the situation I am in I don't need fake "encouragment" (I'm too tired n wired to find the correct word I am looking for in any language sadly). Basically we have saying this is "Sch.... in Geschenkpapier, bleibt Sch....". But not even that is what I am looking for to describe what I am feeling.

....if I am.not suppose to be posting this. I tried posting twice and both times it didn't work. So third times the charm. If something doesn't work after trying twice & trice I'll usually give up. Basically I was saying I was missing a piece that helps me pull through with the new challenge. I am pretty positive I found it with a certain book. One of the tasks is meditation with breathwork, so this aligns with the tasks in both Level 2&1. I'm really glad I came across this while reading an article about self love. It's THE one thing I've always tried to do/accomplish and never succeeded sadly. Everyone tells you to just love yourself, do things for you, practices self care and mental diet. Well that's easy to say if you don't have trauma and ADHD or neither.... Having to always work 18x harder than anyone else is literally physically depleting. And often times we already run on fumes just showering, eating and doing other stuff that's just normal for everyone else. Anyway I'm glad I stumbled across this and I am reading it, even though I simultaneously am watching yt. Yeah not great, but better than not reading/doing something for myself at all.
