Trying to process my despair
I discovered the 5 Day Challenge that began in early 2026 at the very last minute and jumped in...I have been facing incredible challenges related to significant escalation in my ADD due to nearly 15 years of unrelenting traumas...the loss of my Dad and 2 brothers within 7 months...the death of my older brother was due to suicide...more trauma followed...not one but two hones that had to be totally rebuilt due to environmental damage....a black water flood in the first and serious undisclosed damage in the second that was all missed by the inspection. I am single....I had to navigate through these challenges alone without any support The above circumstances were so all encompassing that I was unable to work for 15 years....I recognized my desperate need for this program...The 5 day Challenge was great but the "sophistication" required to rely on AI Harmony did me in ....I have never had to rely on a computer for either my education...my Masters degree was completed in 1984...or in the 40 years that I have held two professional licenses and operated a very successful private practice....The challenges presented by needing to figure out the necessary computer skills to participate in the 6 week program and my total inexperience with AI have resulted in me being unable to make the incredible progress that so many of you are experiencing ... As the 6 weeks are drawing to a close, I am experiencing yet another grieving process...Not because I am ADD, but because I have been unable to benefit from the ADHD Harmony program to any significant extent...I simply lack the skills necessary to operate the AI program effectively...Several have offered help, but lacking basic computer skills was the real problem. This disadvantage did not become apparent during the 5 day Challenge. Posting in the community was easy for me...Encouraging and supporting others is who I am. Answering the initial questions was not too hard to master ... Using the AI program overwhelmed and intimidated me. This exacerbated my ADD causing even more struggles.

@Mamta Buch What a kind offer! I'm not sure how that could be set up but I would gladly accept! A few kind souls have offered help...The time zone thing complicates a bit...I am in the MTN time zone in the US.πŸ€—πŸ«Ά

@Dave Hunter This is so sad to hear...The struggle for help is expected from those who are in the greatest need for help and thus, the most challenged to make it into the system...My heart goes out to youβ™₯οΈπŸ•ŠοΈπŸ˜₯
BIG Win Today!
πŸ“… Daily Check-in - April 19, 2026 I am SO freakin proud of myself for finally getting the studio (my BIG rock) organized enough that I am actually sitting at one of my tables filling out this query! Go me! I am a bit concerned though that I got so focused on my big rock today that I didn’t do much else other than clean up the studio space, although my morning routine was in tact. Feels so good to put a paint brush in my hand again! Beautiful warm, sunny day. πŸ“Š Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 10/10 ⚑ Energy: 8/10 🎯 Focus: 10/10 😌 Calmness: 9/10 πŸŒ™ Sleep Quality: 8/10 πŸ”₯ Motivation: 10/10 ⭐ Average: 9.2/10 βœ… Activities from yesterday: β˜€οΈ Morning Sunlight πŸ’§ Stayed Hydrated 🀸 Stretching πŸ₯— Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol 🍬 No Added Sugar β˜• No Late Caffeine πŸ’Š Took Supplements πŸ₯© Hit Protein Goal πŸ₯¦ Ate Vegetables 🍳 Home Cooked Meal πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ Meditation πŸ“ Journaling πŸ’š Gratitude Practice πŸ’­ Affirmations 🎯 Deep Work πŸŒ… Focused Morning 1️⃣ Single Tasking πŸ“… No Meetings 🧠 Learning 🎨 Creative Work πŸ‘₯ Quality Time πŸ“ž Called Friend/Family ❀️ Date Night 🍽️ No Phone at Dinner πŸ‘‚ Active Listening

Sounds lovely! Your progress has been amazing!🫢
Grounding
Has anyone had any experience with all the new grounding devices? Grounding sheets, grounding mattress pads, grounding shoes, grounding pads for the floor under a desk??? I think walking barefoot on the grass or sand is a thing but all this other stuff?

@Sisse Plesner I've just discovered that taking a creatine supplement at bedtime really helps with more restful sleep ...It's also important for brain health!
