“Set alarms on your phone for reminders”. My phone is ALWAYS on silent.
Lmao even if not on silent, I turn the alarm off and if I don’t do the thing right away I will forget my alarm went off for it 😓
"You just need the discipline to focus..."
Wow, thanks for that amazing insight! I never thought about it that way. (heavy sarcasm)

Ooooh this one burns me up the most. People don’t realize the discipline it takes to just do the most ordinary of tasks for us. We have to use the most amount of energy trying to do all the things we can’t get ourselves to start. The burnout from it is real!
"Just don't be distracted." From my therapist.
🚩 As I have gotten older, my health has forced me to get understand that ADHD is a type of dysautonomia - I have other types of dysautonomia - and as I have gotten treatment for those, its helped my body process dopamine better, (not well, just better)
making me fully aware that this is a real physical impairment with how my body processes dopamine and serotonin.
Cognitive therapy, and behavioral modification therapies will help
but a medical protocol, whether that is a prescription, dietary changes, metabolic supports, supplements and/or exercise - the things that support the brain are what really help here.
I once had a therapist tell me to do less, 🙄I can't feed my children less, I can't pay my bills less, no matter how much I try - it made me feel like this was some thing I needed to surmount through my will.
I did not understand the reason medication helped, was because I had a medical condition; AND it blinded me to other very serious health problems that have had catastrophic impact.
I would like to save anyone else from those mental gymnastics because it literally cost me 20 years
My personal favorite of all time is (not): “You’re just lazy, you need to try harder. ADHD is just an excuse.” 😳😡 I wouldn’t wish the ADHD brain on my worst enemy, but I would wish it for just one day on the jerk (family member) who said that to my face.

Yes, my husband has had this his whole life too. He has adhd and his clutter is confused with laziness.
or "dopamine fasts"
You need to just set your mind to it. Lol! Hated that one the worst!
"Just put on noise-cancelling headphones." I'm here to tell you that there are variants of us where the noise is not the problem.....
“You just need to be better at time management”
"If you dont know how to spell a world look it up in a dictionary. "
Why yes! Let me show you my stack of planners that are empty or have the first 2 weeks filled out before I abandoned them!
