“My friends and family get annoyed with me because I’m always running late or forgetting things.”
People describe you as smart but also “quirky” or “unique” or “going through a phase.” You’re always forgetting things. You may annoy friends and family by being late all the time. You have trouble focusing even when you are doing things you like to do. It’s really hard to get started with many daily tasks even when you know it’s the right thing to do and the pressure is on. You had a feeling there was more to it than just a lack of effort or an attitude.
“My mind keeps jumping from topic to topic. It distracts me, so I just tune out.”
You could also be described as someone who is straightforward, with good intentions and a big heart with big feelings! There are many reasons why you can feel uncomfortable in social situations, be forgetful, have trouble controlling your impulses, or struggle to get started on tasks. Life changes, stress, and poor organization, planning or coping skills can all add to these challenges. It’s important to figure out if a person has Autism, ADHD, or something else that’s getting in the way of feeling successful and reaching their goals.
An ADHD Intensive is a testing and therapy bundle for adults (18+) that can take you from questions to solutions in a few steps. The intensive format can give you personalized and significant relief. It’s a more immersive, deeper experience with a narrower treatment focus. Intensives are cutting-edge therapy programs. Thrive Collective is proud to offer this advanced level of care.
