Diagnosed ADHD at 54 I’m very frustrated
Hi, my name is jenny. I’m not sure what happened with my life but it changed. I could no longer cope, getting frustrated, irritated and sure menopause had hit. Now I noticed I’ve always struggled, i work hard and feel like I never get anywhere. Now I can’t even keep my house clean or the grass cut. I have never been as frustrated and felt so incompetent. I’m here for support and guidance.

@April Terreau thank you for that. I literally thought I was going crazy. Mads have helped some and talk therapy was a no go. I really was not getting anything from that. I appreciate you sharing and I look forward to getting somewhere in this group.
The real reason you struggle to finish what you start
"Jim doesn't apply himself." That's a real sentence from my elementary school reports. I found them a few years ago, while I was rebuilding my life after my burnout. Black on white: "Jim doesn't apply himself." "Jim is easily distracted." "Jim has potential, but." Here's the part that got me. I had no memory of any of it. But some part of me clearly did. Because I spent the next twenty years proving those sentences right. Starting things and abandoning them. Calling myself lazy. Collecting 30K worth of unfinished courses as evidence. And that's the realization I promised you on Friday: Every app, planner and course I ever bought was trying to change what I DO. But underneath what you do, something else is running that decides everything: the story of who you believe you are. Sentences installed by teachers, parents, bosses, a system that was never built for your brain. Most of them before you turned ten. You never chose them. You don't remember agreeing to them. And they've been quietly running your life ever since. Those sentences are where the daily stuff actually comes from. The procrastination. The overwhelm at a normal to-do list. The anxiety. The overthinking. The fear of being judged. You think you have a productivity problem. You have old beliefs with productivity symptoms. The difference between "I am lazy" and "I have a belief that says I'm lazy" is huge. One is a life sentence. The other is code you can rewrite. That is what makes this challenge differente. Not just productivity tips. Five days where we go underneath the behavior, find who you were before those sentences, and start closing the gap between who you are right now and who you're actually built to be. This is the work that changed my life. Not the apps. This. Last Friday, many of you shared your intention for this challenge. I read every single one, and most of them are versions of the same wish: to finally finish something, to stop fighting yourself.
