Living Successfully with ADHD

“What it does mean, for me, to live successfully with ADHD, is that I’ve found a way to move the focus of my life onto my strengths, my talents, and my abilities and to increase my choices and options.  It means that through medication I am awake, alert, and able to maintain my energy and attention throughout most of the day.  It means I can sort out my neurology from my psychology and figure out what things in my life I can change and what I just need to control or live with.  It means that I’ve learned to separate out my strengths from my weaknesses and to embrace both of those as part of myself, even though it’s a long stretch.  I’ve come to accept the fact that I do have deficits out of proportion with the rest of my abilities and that these do severely impact my life.  I’ve learned to separate out the shame, embarrassment, and guilt surrounding these difficulties from my core sense of self.  Now when my ADHD symptoms do appear, I don’t add to them a negative self-barrage that creates a downhill cycle.

I have learned that to be successful with ADHD you must eventually restructure your life.  You move through Shame and Guilt and must ultimately redefine your sense of what it means to be a mature, confident, competent woman, even if after treatment you are still somewhat messy, disorganized, or forgetful.  For me, it means I have learned to value myself as a creative woman who will never match some culturally sanctioned image I may have internalized a long time ago about what a woman should be or be able to do.”
