I discovered the 5 Day Challenge that began in early 2026 at the very last minute and jumped in...I have been facing incredible challenges related to significant escalation in my ADD due to nearly 15 years of unrelenting traumas...the loss of my Dad and 2 brothers within 7 months...the death of my older brother was due to suicide...more trauma followed...not one but two hones that had to be totally rebuilt due to environmental damage....a black water flood in the first and serious undisclosed damage in the second that was all missed by the inspection. I am single....I had to navigate through these challenges alone without any support The above circumstances were so all encompassing that I was unable to work for 15 years....I recognized my desperate need for this program...The 5 day Challenge was great but the "sophistication" required to rely on AI Harmony did me in ....I have never had to rely on a computer for either my education...my Masters degree was completed in 1984...or in the 40 years that I have held two professional licenses and operated a very successful private practice....The challenges presented by needing to figure out the necessary computer skills to participate in the 6 week program and my total inexperience with AI have resulted in me being unable to make the incredible progress that so many of you are experiencing ... As the 6 weeks are drawing to a close, I am experiencing yet another grieving process...Not because I am ADD, but because I have been unable to benefit from the ADHD Harmony program to any significant extent...I simply lack the skills necessary to operate the AI program effectively...Several have offered help, but lacking basic computer skills was the real problem. This disadvantage did not become apparent during the 5 day Challenge. Posting in the community was easy for me...Encouraging and supporting others is who I am. Answering the initial questions was not too hard to master ... Using the AI program overwhelmed and intimidated me. This exacerbated my ADD causing even more struggles.

I did my quick adhd snapshot yesterday, feeling rather sceptical about it, but it was remarkably kind and empathetic. One thing that was a bit of a revelation. I have this strange dysfunctional empathy. I feel sorry for struggling animals and stop to talk to random dogs and cats that I meet. There was a magnificent husky with an elderly and lame black Labrador that I met one day, and I said “what a beautiful dog!” and stroked the lab, because I thought he probably heard people praising the husky all the time and could do with some validation. I feed the birds, the squirrels and the visiting fox in our garden and adopted a scruffy, smelly old dog, who was about to be put down by his owner, because she couldn’t care for him any more. I love him. I even feel sorry for tree saplings who are in danger of being weeded out of the flower borders, so I dig them up and put them somewhere safe, where they can hopefully live their best life. It probably doesn’t take a genius to suppose that I’m pouring the empathy into stray animals that I can’t give myself, but that’s what the AI suggested and it felt very insightful. Whether it indicates ADHD is another question that I haven’t resolved yet.
