@jeneticallymodified…
I recently came into awareness that this add thing is what causes me to “be generally useless.” I feel you. I myself am surrounded by unfinished crafts and remnants of notes from my latest “big idea.” So, the question is, what are your strengths, and what ARE you doing? I recently began making a very short list of things to do for the day.
1. Buy toilet paper
2. Call Grandma
That’s it. if i get those two things done, I have conquered my maladaptive tendencies for the day. If I get more done, Hey! look at me! I have also just begun to search out the right medication. My memory for future plans/events has improved greatly, and I m proud to say it has been 6 weeks since I last lost a Planner!
Also m list can now be 3 things long a couple days a week. It’s a work in progress but I am amazed and proud. If you have not gotten on meds, perhaps you should consider it.
The biggest thing for me is accepting myself. For us, perhaps we should consider changing our environments to suit us. I decided to ditch the traditional way of doing things to suit my weird habits. I keep my deodorant by my keys so I remember to put it on. I keep my wallet attached to my keys so they can’t be separated. I bought the most environmentally friendly disposable plates and cups I could find because let’s face it… I do the dishes twice a week at best. If I take off my socks, I throw them as close to the hamper as I can so at least when I finally decide to clean, things are pretty close to where they should be.
You may be past all this… I dunno. But I hope you look for help if you have not already. If you have, look for different help! You are obviously creative and inspired. Sit back and accept the awesomeness of you, then move from there. I wish you luck and give you my support! <3… big hug!
