AuDHDers deserve to enjoy life.
Not when we have the perfect system. Not when we stop experiencing demand avoidance and master self-discipline. NOW.
​
We deserve to enjoy life now.
​
p.s. I'm writing this on a day when I stayed in bed until 11 am and am only doing two tasks for the day. ;) There was a time that wouldn't have felt like enough, because I judged myself by neurotypical standards...
Because...
Most of us didn't learn what works for us (i.e. what feels good for our brain and body). Which means we often alternate between pushing too hard and feeling held back (like it's impossible to get ahead).
Even if you've made progress toward the life you want, you may have experienced exhaustion/burnout... or aren't sure how much longer you can go on without hitting that wall.
​
Neurotypical approaches → cycles of burnout, frustration, boredom.
And here's what that can feel like (some classic AuDHD experiences):
-
Life feels like a game of Tetris on the edge of losing.
-
You quickly mastered a skill, but now you're bored and struggling to keep up. Emails pile up, deadlines are missed, and quitting seems easier.​
​
-
You start courses but get lost in tabs, feeling guilty about unused resources.
​​
-
You dream of escaping to the woods for six months to figure things out.
​​
-
You've tried and abandoned multiple careers, unsure which path to take.
​
-
You oscillate between thinking I've got this and self-doubt, wondering why life is so challenging. Why is life so hard?
Yes, it's possible to feel better. A lot better. I help people feel better first, then build the life they want.
