Kbtordai1170- Exactly! Exactly!
Emt – I KNOW exactly how you feel too! Some of my family brushed it off too and it really hurt. But as I learned here, do it for myself. When I start changing… Maybe they will notice and then believe me. If not… At least you are becoming who you want to be and have the potential to be! I was a stay at home mom, but my house was upside down! Really bad! I felt like a horrible wife. I wished I was like my grandma who always had all the laundry done, house perfect, and always had a hot meal ready to eat! Plus take pride in her looks. Shes 65 and looks 45! Small steps! I was referred to http://www.flylady.org/pages/begin_babysteps.asp this website! It helped A LOT! Once you have meds too, you can keep your focus on it and get the motivation. I found before meds it felt next to impossible to get myself to do ANYTHING. I felt like I had to drag a 1000kg weight. Thats how bad my lack of motivation was. Once I had meds, I could force myself and I like to play games with myself. For example.. “Ok husbands gone to the store… I bet I can get the dishwasher unloaded by then! GO!” and I would race! I love to play fun little games like that with myself. To get my kids into the fun we would race each other. “I bet I can get the dishes done before your room is clean!” Mind you.. they are still young (4 & 5) so that works! haha You need a set routine which with ADD is hard to do on your own without meds and a coach, or tactics (I search online). With them you will be able to!
