Therapy for Late Diagnosed Adult ADHD
Online Therapy for Women
in San Francisco, San Jose, San Diego and Surrounding Areas in California
People often think of ADHD as just being easily distracted, but it's so much more than that. It's a constant battle with your own brain. It's feeling like you're constantly chasing your own thoughts, trying to keep up, but never quite succeeding.
You try to keep a routine, to stay organized, but it feels like everything is always slipping through your fingers. You forget appointments, lose track of time making you chronically late, constantly loose phone or keys, and struggle to follow through on even the simplest of tasks. It's not that you don't care or that you are lazy, it's just that your brain works differently.
Still, sometimes you can feel like you are drowning in a sea of your own thoughts, and you can't find your way back to the surface. Other times, it can feels like your brain is moving at a million miles an hour, and can't slow down no matter how hard you try.
And then the shame and guilt that comes with it can cause you to spiral into negative self talk. You think to yourself, “I know I should be able to focus, to stay on top of things, but I just can't. I feel like a failure, like I'm letting everyone down, including myself.”
And many people don't understand. They dismiss your struggles as laziness or lack of discipline or say “everyone has a little ADHD and can overcome it just fine.” They tell you to just "try harder" or "focus more". It can be a very isolating and depressing.
