Hi, my name is Ganesh. I live on the Unceded Territory of the Sinixt peoples; later named Nelson, British Columbia - Canada. I am a 52-year-old, and I was diagnosed 5 years ago. I am currently studying Peace and Conflict Studies and Indigenous Studies. You can ask me questions about: - Starting and facilitating support groups for men in particular, but not exclusively. - Growing and fostering communities centered around Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion I want to get these things from ADHD Harmony: - Community. - Clearer direction on my Ikigai. - A better understanding of my internal saboteur. For fun, I like to: - Travel around in my van and play competitive Disc Golf. - Play billiards competitively. - Snowboard deep powder. - Use Clowning as therapy. - Make gourmet meals for one.

As a kid I would build jumps for my crappy bmx bike at the end of a steep driveway with a short 3' board. The transition was easy at first and would land it easily. I'd build it up each time, with 2x4's, hockey pucks, or whatever else I could find. Once I was able to land it more than a couple times confidently, I would build it higher. The jump would get really high and the transition was steep. I would crash hard, but I knew that I was getting closer to landing it, so I'd keep trying. All the kids from the block would come and watch and that helped give me courage. Also, being close to home made it safer. If I popped a tire, broke a chain, bent the handlebars - It could all be fixed and I could continue. Even if I hurt myself really badly, my brother or someone could call my parents. There was that safety. So many metaphors for my life in here and insights into something I lost from my childhood. Feeling grateful and grief at the same time.

Anyone know how/where to access this?

Just started the ADHD Awakening Assessment and already realized something wild: the tea-and-snack ritual I do before every hard task isn't procrastination, it's my nervous system trying to make the task feel safe. And that composter I left in a box for 18 months? Turns out my brain just needs to SEE things done, not read instructions.
