Anyone who’s dealt with ADHD long enough: has it ever gotten easier? I feel like since becoming aware of the symptoms the struggle has only worsened, despite always considering myself decently self-aware. I don’t know if it’s just the compounding responsibilities of work, marriage, parenthood, and adulthood. Or if it’s some weird permanent brain fog from covid. Or a tangible side effect of being plugged into crypto almost 24/7 for three years. Or just a dwindling sense of agency and direction and control of emotions. But it’s been six years now that I’ve seen three therapists, one psychiatrist with a brief round of antidepressants, and tried numerous tools and tricks yet it all feels like it’s falling apart. Where did I go wrong?

if it helps i feel as if my brain was going to explode, and a big part of me worries that it is something that is going wrong inside. but when i sit in meditation and am able to quiet the mind a bit, those sensations transform into bliss. have you tried practicing meditation with a timer and being disciplined about it? and with disciplined i mean completely equanimious and detached from labeling you as a “good” or “bad” meditator a session is one that happens, even if you spend the whole 10 minutes thinking about something instead of focusing on your breath

I’ve tried meditation numerous times, between 5- 5 minute sessions! Being disciplined about it is a totally different story. It’s arguably the second most documented helpful activity I’ve told myself I should do, right behind regular exercise. Every little nudge towards meditating helps and I appreciate yours.
