How to keep my focus
Hey everyone, I have a question and was hoping for some advice. Recently i changed my profession and started working in administration. Now that I'm working with billings etc is it important that I keep my focus for a while. But it seems that is a point where I struggle with. Looking at the screen for a long time and maintain my focus on what I am doing is very hard. And it makes it even harder when there is a lot of chatter of people around me. Then my head really feels like it can explode and I want to scream.I get distracted easely. I already talked about it at work and they know that when it gets to much I'm alowed to distance myself in an other room. But it is something i'd rather not do. It also gives me a feeling like i've failed if i do that. And when people have questions i'd like to be around so I can answer right away. So I was wondering if some of you have advice for me. I prefer natural based products above the chemicals. I was also if it is a good idea to buy me some special noise cancelling earplugs. But I dont just want to spend to much money if it doesnt work or help me. I've heard much about the loops earplugs but I dont know if they are worth the money. What are your opinions and experiences? Thanks already 😊!

Why do I feel so ashamed
I am so disappointed in myself today.. 😓 Again I got overwhelmed. Why? I felt the signs that it all started to get to much and I used some music to try and calm myself down. But still I wanted to hear what happend around me so the music was only half as effective. I really dont want to leave the room to go and work at an other desk. But I think I dont have a choise in the matter anymore and need to follow-up my heads needs 😞 The thought of failure and shame are killing me right now..

@Tracy Weiss @Tuuli Gress 🥰 deep inside I do know that it are the scarsfrom the past talking. But once I get overwhelmed the brain goes in survival mode and starts creating all those illussions. I love that I found this community. That I can wright my struggles down without being criticised. Together we stand strong !

RSD and (perceived) verbal punches
Another really really big rock that I need in my life is to not let my rsd sensitivities take over my conversations, emotions, reactions and therefore accidentally sometimes my life. 💪🏽 Ok. We might have a harder time with this but if people can still be athletes with one foot and one arm where is my excuse to not take responsibility for my own reactions just because my chemical wiring is a different kind of reliable? Any advice around this? Should I just practice taking punches/advice more often? Every time someone corrects me I hear a character flaw. But I need to reframe this because I get things wrong all the time. I hate explaining/defending myself. Because I am not good at it (yet). What would it be to hear well intentioned or even not well intentioned advice/corrections and choose to respond (or not rather than shut down) clearly and calmly?

@Cathy A Castagna i can rely on this. @Maggie Fukuda I feel exactly the same. When people give me feedback I never remember the good stuff. And always keep hanging on the bad ones. Even if they are not meant to be bad at all. They make me feel like a failure. And I hate that feeling. When someone strikes back at me. I completely freeze. And dont know what to say. Just so you know you are not alone. It is a hard path but the first step has been made towards healing 😘

@Judy Hamilton yes I do. Although I find it very hard to connect. Especially with my sister. My sister was born with a fysical disability so life has been though for her. And I understand that. But she is always the centre of it all. When she needs something my parents and family practicly jump for her. Don't get me wrong. She will always be one of my weaknesses and I have immense respect for people with a disability. But most of the time I felt like I needed to be strong and take care of myself. She really enjoys being the centre of it all. And my family wouldnt argue with her because then she would freak out and go all defensive and hyperventilate. In my childhood I was bullied very often and I felt alone most of the time. Thats one of the reasons that I moved away from my hometown. To just have a New start. Thnx for listening. It actually helps to write it all down a bit. I hope my english is okay 😅

@Linda Trup thnx for your story. It sounds very hard what youve been through. But I can see it made your family stronger. The bond with your daughters and your husband. My son turns 10 this year and our bond is also good and I hope it will stay this way. We talk about our feelings to each other. That is an important thing. If you let your child notice that they are not alone with their feelings. It grows respect. I do have the feeling that once my grandparents are gone the connection to my side of the family will slip away. But maybe it will be for the best. Time will tell. You dont choose your family. But you can choose your friends, and good friends will eventually become your True family.

Microbiome and neurotransmitters
- Gut-brain axis disruption: Emerging research shows different gut microbiome profiles in ADHD. The gut produces about 50% of your dopamine and 95% of your serotonin. An unhealthy gut microbiome may worsen ADHD symptoms, and ADHD-related eating patterns may worsen the gut. Another loop.
