Perseverance
In life, it can be so easy to focus on our mistakes, on the things we do wrong, things we struggle with, and such. When you have ADHD, these are pretty darn obvious. It’s hard to miss and so easy to focus on. Especially when these things are pointed out so much of the time. However, this post isn’t going to focus on any weaknesses and struggles of having an ADHD brain. People talk about it enough. Today’s topic is one of our strengths. A strength that many ADHDers have. It is something that I’ve noticed in myself and a strength that I am proud of. The strength? Perseverance. Yes,…

It’s not all bad
Sometimes, it can be so easy to focus on the bad and the negative. No matter it might be in life, it can be so easy to just think about and focus on the bad things that may happen in our lives. When it comes to ADHD/ADD and you have it, it is no different. I have been guilty of focusing on the negatives of ADHD/ADD. However, it’s not all bad.

Success as an ADHDer
We all have struggles. We all go through difficult times. Some more than others, but it’s something that we all face at one point or another. It is a part of life and a part of being human. As ADHDers/ADDers, things are a little different. Not only do we struggle and go through difficult times like every neurotypical person does. But we also struggle with the little daily things. Because of how our brains work, ADHDers/ADDers tend to have a harder time with things that neurotypical people don’t and would most likely not have a problem. With all the struggles, it can be easy to feel defeated, overwhelmed, ashamed, worried,…

ADHD does have some positive aspects
Lately, I have been looking more at the challenges that individuals with ADHD/ADD must face. However, there are some positive aspects to having ADHD/ADD. Yes, there are some positive things about it. The challenge with this is that the positives aren’t always easy to see or to find. However, hidden they may be, they are still there. I’ll admit that I do sometimes having a difficult time seeing the positive. Until about a year ago, I mainly saw and thought of the negative aspects of ADHD/ADD. Now, I do try to remember the positive aspects. It isn’t always easy for me, but I do try. So, here are some positive…
