The moment I find something challenging- I just don't continue with it or just quit. I don't want to be that person!

I'd love to hear from people who've been here. My kids don't really believe ADHD is a real thing. When my brain shuts down, or I can't get something done, the message I get is basically "you're being lazy, just push through." I know I'm not lazy. I know what's actually happening in my brain, but hearing it from your own kids hits in a place that just doesn't feel good at all. I've tried to explain it to them, and I'm starting to think maybe explaining isn't the answer...but I don't really know what is. So I'm asking: how have you handled this with family members who don't get it? Did anyone ever come around? Did you find a way to stop letting their judgment land so hard? Did you give up trying to convince them and just focus on your own work? I'd love to know what worked and what didn't.

Just finished my Biological Wake-Up Call, and the truth landed hard: I know more about health than most people, but I've been trying to run my whole life on 5-6 hours of sleep for two years. My sleep is the first domino - the gym, the cooking, the decluttering all collapse without it. So this week, one commitment: phone off and lights out 30 minutes earlier. No more "one more episode." Energy first. Everything else follows.

Day 1 Done! I realized how hard I was on myself my whole life. Just to know that I am not lazy or broken, just different (what if the neuro typical ones the broken ones)
