As if the ADHD wasn't enough!
Seeing it in myself and in a lot of people here, I recognize that many of us are incredibly hard on ourselves and don't show much compassion to ourselves. I posted a few things tonight that show, for many of us, it's not just the ADHD we deal with. There's addiction, excoriation, attracting narcissists... I have a feeling there is much more, but that's enough for this post which is meant to ask you to please, please, PLEASE give yourself a break. When you set a goal and you fail to meet it? Consider what else you may be dealing with. Did it help when family members and other people were hard on you? Nope. And now you're just building on that poor treatment of yourself. There's a whole hell of a lot in addition to ADHD that you may be dealing with. Show yourself some grace, some compassion. Slather on the self-care and self-love. You deal with a lot. You deserve to catch a break from criticism, especially if it's coming from YOU. Just my opinion.
