Trying to process my despair

I discovered the 5 Day Challenge that began in early 2026 at the very last minute and jumped in...I have been facing incredible challenges related to significant escalation in my ADD due to nearly 15 years of unrelenting traumas...the loss of my Dad and 2 brothers within 7 months...the death of my older brother was due to suicide...more trauma followed...not one but two hones that had to be totally rebuilt due to environmental damage....a black water flood in the first and serious undisclosed damage in the second that was all missed by the inspection. I am single....I had to navigate through these challenges alone without any support

The above circumstances were so all encompassing that I was unable to work for 15 years....I recognized my desperate need for this program...The 5 day Challenge was great but the "sophistication" required to rely on AI Harmony did me in ....I have never had to rely on a computer for either my education...my Masters degree was completed in 1984...or in the 40 years that I have held two professional licenses and operated a very successful private practice....The challenges presented by needing to figure out the necessary computer skills to participate in the 6 week program and my total inexperience with AI have resulted in me being unable to make the incredible progress that so many of you are experiencing ...

As the 6 weeks are drawing to a close, I am experiencing yet another grieving process...Not because I am ADD, but because I have been unable to benefit from the ADHD Harmony program to any significant extent...I simply lack the skills necessary to operate the AI program effectively...Several have offered help, but lacking basic computer skills was the real problem.

This disadvantage did not become apparent during the 5 day Challenge.

Posting in the community was easy for me...Encouraging and supporting others is who I am. Answering the initial questions was not too hard to master ... Using the AI program overwhelmed and intimidated me. This exacerbated my ADD causing even more struggles.

The years of trauma, rebuilding a home out of my own pocket and then being swindoled by a builder out of 175k last year have created serious financial hardship ...But so has my ADD. I felt I needed to enroll in the program...I did not fitesee the challenges that would follow. I did not anticipate further harm to my self esteem because I do not have the competencies required to catch on quickly enough to what was required.

I decided to express my feelings and experience here just to let others know that not everyone has the computer skills that are assumed to participate in this program....I am immensely sad that this has turned into another significant loss....Missing this opportunity and paying for a program that I was not equipped to pursue....I do not have anyone in my life that could have tutored me to understand how to use the computer effectively or demonstrate the use of AI technology. I learned how to use zoom, but that did not extend to this program. I will be 69 years old this year

I am thrilled to witness and observe the incredible progress so many of you have made and continue to make. I have no idea what to do at this point. I just felt that telling my truth about this missed opportunity would be important to be to work through these feelings. I guess it is what it is. 🫶
