I've been diagnosed for 6 years now - generally doing okay but having a particularly 'active ADHD' time at the moment.
It's really hormone related - my focus is poorer after my period in the follicular phase. It can feel uncontrollable.
I am quite good at self regulating and accept that my brain needs to work differently during this time e.g. a clear to do list and task focused approach.
The problem is my to do list is messy, my brain wants to spider diagram, and my tasks will take 3-4 hours of hyperfocus each to complete.
I don't have endless time and I need to prioritise, but don't know what to prioritise because...to do list.
I know that I had some major stress and that has taken its toll. I know I just have to sit and organise myself, but can't regulate to do it.
I guess just going with one day at a time - what needs doing today (I.e. tomorrow)...
Maybe I need a recurring reminder in my calendar for this time that says ' one day at a time'. I'm going to post this here to remind me to put the reminder in.
How are other late diagnosed people with ADHD getting on?
