Just finished the first section of my ADHD Snapshot and realized something wild: I was diagnosed at 58, and I've spent my whole life believing I was "just average, not that intelligent" - when really I was a differently-wired brain crossing finish lines nobody knew I was running toward. Turns out the rejection pain I could never explain to anyone actually has a name.

Hi, my name is Francine, but you already know that , I’m from Edmonton Alberta Canada, and I am retired. I have experience with ADHD 🤣 You can ask me questions about anything, however you may not get the answer you're expecting. Us ADHDers know that right?! In the community of ADHD Harmony I hope to meet people and maybe eventually share our story! We all have one... maybe a few actually. Since I'm from Canada, we love our Hockey! So I'm a big fan of Hockey and it is actually something that helps me with "regulating" my ADHD of course when my team is winning. The other thing that helps me with ADHD is humor. I love to laugh and often times at myself. My wish is that everybody who is part of this community and ADHD Harmony is to be able to find something they want or need whether it being small or big. 😉

Section 2 of my Snapshot just hit different. I always thought my money spirals and the way one piece of feedback can unmake my whole day were separate problems. Turns out they're the same pattern running underneath everything, and it's not a discipline issue. It's a nervous system that learned to protect me from being seen. Onto Section 3.

Just finished all 3 sections of my ADHD Snapshot and realized something I didn't want to see: what I've been calling "laziness" isn't laziness at all. It traces back to RSD, to rejection, to the fear of not being loved. The strategies weren't failing me. I was aiming them at the wrong layer.

Your engagement literally helps people find us. Our activity in this community directly impacts how ADHD Harmony shows up in Skool's Discovery. That's the search engine people use to find communities like ours. The way it works is simple, the more we engage (likes, comments, posts), the higher we rank. The higher we rank, the more people searching for ADHD support actually find us. So when you drop a like on someone's post or leave a comment, you're not just supporting that person. You're helping someone out there who's still looking for their people actually find this place. Now, many of you already know I'm doing giveaways during the challenge. But I decided to add a little something before we kick off: the 10 people with the highest 7-day activity and the top 10 on the 7-day leaderboard before the challenge starts on April 27 will win community credits to use as discounts on our offerings: 🥇 Place 1-3: $150 community credit 🥈 Place 4-6: $100 community credit 🥉 Place 7-10: $50 community credit One important thing: I've seen other communities try to game this by spamming random posts and comments just to farm points. That's not what we're about. The goal is always value and connection. Share something real, ask a genuine question, support someone's post because it resonated with you. Spam will be removed. View leaderboards: https://www.skool.com/adhd/-/leaderboards Here's how the leaderboard works: https://help.skool.com/article/31-how-do-points-and-levels-work Besides your leaderboard score, I'll also be looking at whether you're actively supporting others. So liking and commenting on other people's posts matters just as much. So go like stuff, comment on things, share your wins, and ask questions. It all counts, and it all helps. Let's make some noise before we even get started 🔥
