I’m wondering… just like in your graphic, isn’t it that at the root of it all there’s mostly an emotion (fear, boredom, overwhelm)? All the techniques you talk about are super helpful and great for distracting us from it. But what if we actually tried facing it? Does that even make sense with our kind of brains, since so many things can paralyze us? What are the ways to deal with that?
Just wanted to say how helpful I find your articles. I don't believe that I have ADHD, but my current lifestyle (stay at home caregiver) seems to allow me the opportunity to live a steam of consciousness not unlike someone who may have ADHD.
I am pretty sure that I live with 2, possibly 3 people that do have ADHD. I see them struggle frequently, create the chaos in our home (that sucks up most of my days, while caregiving, to bring it back to functional) and are frequently stressed and/or anxious.
You're helping me to have a different view, and a different approach that I hope will be more effective for all of us.
Somehow I wish more non ADHD would take an intrest and read some of these articles, that would help to get more understanding and comprehension, so please restack and share if you like them.
