i’m a father that got diagnosed with add in my mid 30s once i got medicated  i’ve done more in a years time that   i could’ve done in a decade i get happiness from learning new things i don’t really care what others think but the most important thing as a person with adhdadd is to understand yourself and how this diagnose affects you and your emotions and be aware of them also how they affect your surroundings and how the surroundings respond to you   accepting the cards you’ve been dealt  is a good starting point go and do what you like and follow your passions and try to work with the structure in your day to day life to achieve them write things down on a whiteboard no not on a piece of paper you’ll probably forget the papers among all the other paper haha go minimalistic and get rid of stuff you don’t need  clutter in your home is a distraction and works against your well-being exercise moderately moderation is key with everything teach yourself to “grind” on a day to day basis instead i know it’s not easy but it can be done   these are the rules i try to follow   and wear sunscreen
