ADHD Assessment 1 of 5

Just started the ADHD Awakening Assessment and realized something wild: I didn't know I had brain fog until I got out of it. I'd been blaming myself for typos, lost notes, and four hours of sleep, when really I was running a different operating system this whole time. Every planner I tried didn't fail because of me.

Question: How do you know that you're running a different operation system if the one that you've had all this time was the only one that you knew? From a Tech Geek, one cannot change operating systems without detaching the current system first and then upload the new one. One can upgrade the operating system on the same hardware if the hardware was upgraded also to work with the new operating system. We've all be there : MicroSoft. Ugh. I do know that you can operate OpenSource Linux thru Windows until one is comfortable to do a complete transfer. This is no way to disparage anyone or Harmony. In our current tech age, Android vs Apple, Windows vs Apple(I never worked on an Apple really) vs Linux, Desktop vs Laptop vs Tablet vs Hybrids, we all like working with what we know and were trained to use. I like my laptops (MS Windows) and 2 monitors (3 screens woohoo!) and my Android phone. I was all trained on these before I bought my own. Dating myself, Apple phones were not around when I got my first cell phone.

I must be too new to figure this one out on my own.

No, It's not brain fog. I no longer have the brain fog as I believe it was part of the stress I was having then and prior. And I got my first planner prior to working on a laptop and I still have my first planner and did the unthinkable and bought a 2nd one from the same company: Franklin. I couldn't process the cost of buying a third from them and made my third from copying a format that some other company that Franklin was selling. It made me feel less guilty as my "homemade" one was done on a notebook from Dollar Tree.

Do I believe stress caused my ADHD to become more prominent? Yes. And I've dealt with Stress that needed time and some hospitalization 3 times along with different medications each time. Yet no one ever noticed my ADHD at the time. Sigh. Sorry for the rant. Thank you.
