New me? · ADHD Harmony™

New me?

Hi. Im Dana I'm an Artist. I am 64, married with 2 adult children and 1 grandson.

Our daughter, 34, who holds 1 bachelor, 2 masters and a Doctorate was just diagnosed wirh ADHD!!!! Being an educator, she has researched various aspects of ADHD. She sends what she finds to me. All I can say is WOW! So many things I do and dont do seem to be ADHD related. Yes, I am making an appointment to be evaluated. My grandson also has ADHD. I believe my son may also be a ADHD personality.

Oddly, my daughter has thanked me for giving her tools to succeed. I truly have no clue what she is referring to. Im not succeeding.

My biggest struggle besides dealing with other health issues, is that I procrastinate on far too many things. Ill put stuff off until it becomes "a thing" . Until there are unwanted consequences. Until I can literally feel the stress and disorganization settle on me like a cold black cloak. Still, I will procrastinate even more. I KNOW I'm doing it.....but still. I start project after project, most never completed.

I want, need, to get out of this self destructive rut I continuously place myself in.

I want to enjoy life. I want to shed the feeling of inadequacy. I want to be more productive for myself and my family.

I want to feel whole again.

Thanks for the add. It's appreciated.
