How old were you when…
I’m curious how old you were when you were diagnosed. I was in my 50s.

@Lois Hamilton Yes, and Doctors don't screen older adults for it, what a shame, that we totally get missed. And as older adults we stereotype what it is - "hyperactivity in children", not knowing there are several types of ADHD and we indeed have one.

@Tracy Weiss Several (8) genetic markers for Hereditary ADHD and ADHD showed up on my Full DNA Sequencing Report. I was looking for something else, and found that.

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Today's Check in:
📅 Daily Check-in - March 2, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Tossed and turned a lot last night. Someone was after me in my dreams. My dreams seem to go from pleasant to dangerous to grotesque depending on the type of tv shows I watch, and what I day dream about. Started the ADHD Harmony 5 day challenge for the second time around. I am hoping to pick up anything I didn't understand the first time. Hauled a lot of boxes and plastic containers out of the craft room to recycle. I am really anxious looking at them scattered all over my kitchen, which I have been keeping uncluttered for several weeks now. I am having a hard time finalizing their fate by taking them to the recycle bin. I wish I knew why I felt like I had to find "good homes" for all my possessions. Why do I save every "good' box, jar and jug? Why is it so hard to get rid of them?

So I asked the AI (Sage) about my decluttering issues. Here is what it came back with in case it can help anyone else ❤️ 90% of this really resonate with me! Everything but the 90 day part - as I do projects in spirts so I may not need something for a year or two and then need it again. Deanna, this is such an important question, and I love that you're not just pushing through the discomfort but actually pausing to understand it. That's real self-awareness. Let me give you both the *why* and the *how*. ## Why You Save Every "Good" Box, Jar, and Jug There are several layers to this, and for you specifically, they probably all overlap: ### 1. Your ADHD Brain Sees Potential Everywhere This is one of the most underappreciated ADHD patterns. Your brain is wired to see *possibilities*. A "good" box isn't just a box to you. It's a future gift container, a storage solution, a craft project, a useful thing for *someday*. Your brain is running a rapid-fire simulation of all the ways that object *could* be valuable, and discarding it feels like throwing away potential. The cruel irony? The more creative and resourceful you are (and you clearly are, with woodworking, scroll sawing, laser engraving), the more uses you can imagine for every single object. Your gift for seeing possibilities becomes a trap when it comes to letting go. ### 2. Emotional Memory Gets Stored in Objects As someone who leads with Feeling (your ISFP nature) and has a defined Solar Plexus in your Human Design, you process the world through emotion. Objects aren't just things to you. They carry *feeling*. A jar might hold a memory of who gave it to you, what it once contained, or a moment in time. Letting it go can feel like letting go of the feeling attached to it. This is especially powerful right now as you're also processing your parents' home. Everything is layered with meaning. ### 3. The "Good Home" Instinct Is Who You Are Deanna, you spent your career as a vet tech and dog trainer. Your entire professional life was built around making sure living creatures were cared for, placed well, and safe. That instinct doesn't shut off just because the object isn't alive. You're applying the same deep care to boxes and jars that you applied to animals. You need to know they'll be okay.

@Kris Park Yes, I sometimes forget that part of the equation.
WOW AI
I know @Jim Ebbelaar warned us we “may cry” but REALLY on DAY 1 I’m emotional?. I didn’t see that coming. Looking forward to the rest of the week. Thank you for being here. ❤️ and thank you @Deanna Dalton for bringing me here. ❤️

You are so welcome my friend, and I am so glad you are finding the Challenge "enlightening". You are at the beginning of a wonderful Journey.
Currently trying to figure everything out
Hi, my name is Sarah, I’m from Denmark, and I am a selfemployed woodworker. I startet my own company 4 years ago, to get more freedom to do whatever I want (fine woodwork) whenever I want (definately not in the morning) - but it has appeared that I don't have a lot of disciplin and selfcontrol, when nobody else is accountable. Haha, guess there is a thing, as too much freedom. If I don't feel like doing it, it probably won't happen. It has become worse over the years, though (last year was hard), and I am currently on sick leave for burnout (which is completely a mental burnout, from always stressing about the things I still need to do, but not actually doing anything).. While being so, I suddently recognised and understood, that most of my problems are related to AD(H)D symptoms, and I started to understand, that ADHD can be much much more than just the hyper kid who doesn't want to go to school. I also own an old house that is in the middle of a complete renovation (has been for years now... things are going slow!), so I got my plate full! I want to get these things from ADHD Harmony: 1. Better understanding of how my brain works, and how ADHD might be related to my problems. 2. Tools for making a gameplan for the future, on how to deal with it and function better. In work, home and life in generel. Some of my interest are: 1. Climbing - on rock or bouldering. 2. Chicken breeding. Sometimes all I have energy for is to just look at my chickens.
