My story of ADHD, struggle, and what came next:Back in 2009, I had no life to be proud of. I had been single after a terrible breakup. High school didn’t prepare me for what came next, and no one wanted to hire me. I always felt different in the way that I think and wanted to do something with it. I then enrolled in college and failed most of my courses. I was crushed.Most people told me “just try harder” and I’ll get what I want. But this wasn’t so easy with a brain like mine. I told myself to keep doing what I knew. Which was to hang out with the same crowd, doing the same stuff, and having the same outcome. It was comfortable and I was good at it. But something had to give because I wasn’t happy anymore, and completely lost.That’s when a close friend of mine asked me to go out with her more often. She did things differently. That put me around a different crowd that gave me confidence to volunteer. This led to a job offer which made me more confident to start up college again. Although my mind felt messy, my emotions were getting better.The problem was that I had no structure, no accountability, zero purpose, barely any support, stuck in my thoughts and felt lost constantly. I had ADHD and didn’t know it. That’s why in 2012 things changed for the better. My plan was to start being honest and take myself more seriously as a human. I knew I wanted to help people but I had to help myself first.The results:➔ happily married➔ became a therapist➔ am a published author ➔ now getting a doctorate ➔ building a business publiclyAnd now I want to share what I’ve learned on this path to those who may have felt like me back in 2009. Just like you, I had to learn what works, what doesn’t, and figure out how to move to the next part while keeping what I’ve built in tact.Once I made these needed adjustments using research, tools, training, and personal experience, I could finally say that I feel a bit more found rather than lost. After 20+ years of struggle and hard work, I’m proud to say that I feel great in my relationships, confident in academics, and productive in my career.If this resonates with you, click below for free items:ADHD library: https://thriveadhd.gumroad.com/Newsletter: https://biturl.top/uayARfTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@therapyjakeYouTube: https://youtube.com/@TherapyJake
