Hey! Stop eavesdropping on my brain! 🤣

I often remark about irony of the hoops us ADHDers have jump through to get a diagnosis and our medication. I am the WORST at remembering anything.

Please tell me you'll be addressing all of this on TMYK tonight...😉

I started keeping mine right next to my alarm clock to I take it first thing. Otherwise, I have to count what's left in the bottle to figure it out. 🤪

It was helpful for me was when a coach said to think of it as a workout for your brain. Every time an intrusive thought comes in and I recognize it, I have a chance to practice refocusing. And that helps strengthen that muscle for when I need to refocus after distracting thoughts in the real world.

I couldn't wait for my kids to get older so we could vacay instead of presents for Christmas. 🤣
