Week 6 - Final Reflection & Letter to Future Self
Ok, others have been brave enough to share their final reflection so here's mine... Completed on 2/26/2026 Your Responses Six weeks ago, what was your biggest struggle? Be specific - not 'everything' but the one thing that hurt most. six weeks ago the thing that hurt most was that it seemed like no matter what i did what i learned how hard i tried what i tried i just kept repeating the same pattern, the same cycle, I was stuck in a loop. i would get optimistic because i was seeing something new, i was learning something, i thought i was doing better but it never lasted long and i couldn't stick with it, i couldn't keep going, it would all fall apart somehow, some way and i would go back to where i started, it was frustrating and disheartening. the procrastination, lack of motivation, lack of energy just seemed to keep knocking me back down and i just couldn't figure out how to get over that hump and make a change that would stick What story were you telling yourself about why you couldn't change? The story I was telling myself about why I couldn't change is that I'm just not good enough. I just don't have enough energy. I just don't have the right kind of focus or I'm just not committed enough. I'm just not capable. I would look for excuses, explanations, reasons in the outside world. I'm not sleeping enough. I'm sick. I'm not fit enough. I'm not strong enough. I'm not doing this right. I'm not doing that right. If I could just get myself to do this and that, then I'd be okay. Then I'd have the energy. Then I could do this. And it would be ok, round and round in circles, I was just stuck in that loop of, I needed to fix A so that I could do B. I needed to fix B so I could do C. I needed to fix C so I could do A. And I just couldn't get out of that fucking loop. And i repeated this over and over and over again so obviously it must just be me that is defective, incapable, weak. Other people can do it but I just can't no matter what I do What's the single biggest insight you gained? The one thing that changed how you see yourself or your ADHD.
