I used to be someone who could never focus or finish anything
I would jump from project to project. Always starting. Never finishing. My mind was constantly pulling me somewhere else. I couldn't sit still. Couldn't go deep in a conversation. Couldn't stay focused long enough to get through more than a paragraph of a book. Disorganized. Always late. Always scattered. This was my reality with ADHD for years... And the hardest part was believing this was just who I was. That it was permanent. That I would always be this way. After years and years of struggling. I realized that all of these were symptoms and that something was causing this and it wasn’t a “chemical imbalance” but a more multifactorial problem that had multiple root causes. Everything started to shift. I no longer jump from project to project. I no longer struggle to sit still or stay focused. I follow things through now. ADHD isn't something you have to stay trapped in forever.
