'Sometimes I draw pictures of all my choices. I draw a person in the middle of a poster board (me!) and big talk-balloons above my head, filled with the things I need to do. I number them to remind me which ones to do first.'
I am writing myself, and all of you, a little reminder: ADHD does not make our choices for us and is not the sole voice in the choir of our waking thoughts. Every day you and I have choices. Here’s a bit more about how I take control of ADHD:treatment is learning which choices are available to me, and making the most effective ones.is part of my treatment, my first choice most mornings is to take it before I get out of bed. This clears the fog of confusion that plagues me when I wake up.
It’s not easy, but do we have another choice? We do, but I would argue — I just did — that it’s probably not the better one.
