That’s amazing, good for you! Having one clean room can be magical and so motivational to clean more. I love how you got creative about not being able to move and got a new piece of furniture instead. I’m admiring your mindset and positivity!

😅 that’s very flattering but it’s just a lifetime of knowing myself..

I was dx adhd at 5, medicated much too heavily until 13 (my current dose is half of my dose when I was half my present weight), when I removed myself to try working my own way through stuff.. served military and got a college degree. Now in my mid 30s I’m a disaster! I got rediagnosed and remedicated. I have a 9 month supply because I don’t actually take it except when I need to do -one thing- and then it’s magic. For a day.. It’s way too intense for daily use for me though.

I’ve always known I had different needs and maybe that makes it easier for me to work with them? I have so many things I want to do so if I come even close that’s a win.
