Thread with threads. Sometimes I share personal stories here and how I got out of them. I apologize for the oversharing. I hope this helps someone.
Self-sabotage with ADHD isn’t a character flaw—it’s a tug-of-war between dopamine, norepinephrine, and executive function. Here’s how the chemistry trips you up—and how to hack it back. adhdhelp.app/en/blog/the-sc… — @Gray_Ru3

Some people say ADHD itself is a superpower. Actually, it’s hyperfocus that’s the real superpower. But remember—with great hyperpower comes great hyper-responsibility (and exhaustion, if we’re being real).

One of the hardest ADHD struggles: not giving up halfway through a task. Learning how to stick with things when your brain begs you to quit is a skill. I'm still learning it - right now, every day.

Quotes from Great ADHDers: “You’re allowed quiet moments, even if your mind never fully quiets down.”
