Do you: feel like your brain has 381 tabs open at any one time? want to do everything but can't seem to do anything, leaving a trail of unfinished projects in your wake? lose your keys/wallet/phone/glasses? Several times a day? Every. Single. Day? have no 'brakes' on your super-duper-fast brain, finding out your thoughts at the same time as other people? forget people's names as soon as they say them? Appointments? Birthdays? What you walked into the kitchen for? How you arrived on this page? live in extremes: either you're all in, or you're all out? In love with your hobby of the month, or never do it again? Experience time as 'now' or 'not now'? Sleep non-stop or not at all? have approximately 371894619870 thoughts at any time? feel like you're desperately trying to stay afloat in an ocean where everyone else is swimming the other way to you? If any of that resonates, then this book might be for you.* The waiting lists for ADHD diagnosis in the UK can be up to 7 years , which is a long time to have 2 or more 'important areas' of your life 'significantly impacted' by the symptoms (as required for diagnosis). This book shows you how to stop blaming yourself for your brain, and how to become friends with it instead. The chapters show how to manage ADHD from A to Z in your daily life with practical exercises covering relationships, work, self-esteem, finances, organisation - and so much more. It gives you the power to choose which way you want to swim in that ocean, something that most people cannot do. Your differences are what make you strong, powerful and free from the constraints of 'normality'. Embrace them. *These symptoms are not 'officially' recognised ADHD symptoms, and this book is not written by a qualified medical expert, who you should speak to about any potential diagnosis. However, it is written by a person with ADHD, and so provides an imperfectly perfect insight into living with it - and at above all, hopefully makes you feel a little bit less alone in this world.
