My name is Elena Thompson. I’ve been dealing with long-term tinnitus for quite a while, and through that journey I’ve become really interested in how our brains and nervous systems work especially things like focus, stress, and sensory sensitivity. I joined this community because I’m curious to learn more about ADHD experiences and how people manage things like attention, overwhelm, and daily routines. In my free time I enjoy learning about health, nervous system regulation, and simple habits that improve quality of life. I’m also someone who appreciates meaningful conversations and shared experiences. Looking forward to learning from everyone here and connecting along the way. 😊

📅 Daily Check-in - October 6, 2026 💭 Reflection: "haven't checked in for 3 days, weekends I usually don't but yesterday was messy I had meetings but didn't really plan them so 5 meetings on one day, dentist in the morning drove my son to school afterwards , bet had to pick him up again at 3;30 pm, so thats 1 hour gone from productivity but sort of quality time also. The weekend was great! lovely weather , laid back didn't do too much. I read a mindbug on FB what made me wonder about myself in my marriage, I complain I am not happy, because my wife isn't as soft as I like, but on FB there were 20 lines why your wife acts so masculine ... and I realised I don't behave like man: I let things go their way, get to it when I like, so my wife picks it up she does the garden, weeding , mowing cutting branches , she allways does the laundry or better to say the whole housekeeping besides running a lawyers agency, I am working from home spending hours and hours trying to understand myself and why I am dissatisfied, after all those years I realise I never completely stood up from the crash six years ago, not taking controle not being a man; so my wife has to.... so that is a good insight to work on ! My mind was focussing on leaving but now I see an escape to save this family. Also a drawback a candidate I placed 2 years ago was looking for another job, I looked exact to his specifications about a job outside automotive, no cardealers , reached out to new prospects with the right jobs, after two weeks I reached out to the candidate:her replied: I allready had a few jobinterviews at cardealers ( 2 of my clients) so not really interested anymore... so lost 10k of revenue which i quit desperatly need because of hyperfocus and procrastination Right now I feel... motivated One small win today... went to the gym! I'm letting go of... focussing on the bad in my marriage I was hard on myself about... loosing a perfectly good candidate on whom I procrastinated My energy was highest when... sitting in the sun watching my son drive away in his tiny motorboat with his friends
