An Awakening⚠️a bit long, it has taken a week to find ME and my words.
I've been in a depression and grieving for 15 years. It's been one death after another... grief accumulating... starting with my husband of 32 years, followed by best friend, brother 1, and brother 2. I had been caretaker for 3 of them. Then my son, who was a great support, relocated away. I have never felt so alone and lost. I don't think I have ever dealt with all the grief.. just fell into a depression hole and zero'd out. This was a lead-in to developing anxiety attacks. I never thought I had ADHD until my sister mentioned it. While researching this idea, I found this: "The fatigue and lack of motivation that can come with depression are made that much worse by ADHD. All of the energy that I need to focus is drained from me when I’m experiencing depression. My ability to manage my life spirals completely out of control and the only thing I can think about is how terrible I feel. Things that are simple when I am not depressed become nearly impossible when I am. Feelings of inadequacy are overwhelming and make me feel like I’ll never get a handle on managing the disorder, which can be very discouraging. Some part of me deep down is screaming, “Pull it together!” But it feels impossible to do." I think finding the post about ADHD Harmony was divine intervention! I was at the end of my rope. With this program, there have been so many Aha moments that I never connected together. These past 5 days have been emotionally draining ... in a good way. The final report has shown me how I got to who/where I am and that there is a light at the end of this tunnel. I have hope again, and a path back to myself. Thank you to Jim for making this possible, and to all who are on this trip also, thanks for your input in the community. Just reading your posts has helped so much. My wish for all is to find our Ikigai, and enjoy the journey! God Bless.
