My Struggle with Executive Function and Anger

You reframe your thoughts. Question the inherent assumptions you have made here.

Is that a bad thing? One of the things we Adhd folks are great at is beating up on ourselves. We are the very best at it. Redirecting that energy into the things that bring us joy, quieting the voices that say we’re are not good enough, etc., those are the things that will help us “progress in life” (but I would question that phrase as well).
