Just did my Ikigai worksheet and something clicked. I've been tinkering with old computers, saving them from becoming e-waste, and I realized that's not just a hobby. It's who I am. I bring forgotten things back to life through patient, hands-on work - and when I do that, I come back to life too. Still exploring where this leads, but for the first time it doesn't feel random. It feels like me.

Hi I am Martje, and I live in the Netherlands. I am 61. All my life I felt different and not up to the expectations around me. My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD ADD, when she was nineteen. I never recognized it because her behavior wasn’t strange for me. When she began to explain and told me how things worked for her, I knew this was also me. After this our connection grew. We could understand each other so much better! I didn’t let myself be diagnosed. I ‘ve tried. But then I had to follow a specific program with medication and therapy and it didn’t feel right for me. And I could do a test only but it was just too much money for me. So I let that go. I am curious what this challenge will bring me and thankful for the opportunity

Just finished the first section of my ADHD Snapshot and realized something I'd never seen before: I've been intuitively solving ADHD problems my whole life without knowing ADHD was the problem. Waking at 5am to study, buying flowers before cleaning - those weren't random quirks. They were my brain quietly engineering its own workarounds all along. I felt really emotional reading the snap shot . Thank you so much!

Why do i always feel like the child in the room and not the 73 year old adult that i am?

📅 Daily Check-in - April 11, 2026 💭 Reflection: "I feel like I tend to isolate myself from others, especially when I feel like I need to be around them. But I am so used to neglecting myself. I did some things last week to show myself some more love but I slip out of it over the weekend and feel like I'm starting over every week. It's easier to have a set plan like a work schedule because when I'm unregulated I tend to slip back into my old patterns.
