A story from the ebook
When knowing and doing don’t meet
“I know I need to open the mail. I know I need to make the phone call. I know I should answer the text. ... Sometimes I know so thoroughly that I spend an enormous amount of time thinking about the fact that I am not doing it.”
Melissa writes about the hidden effort, frustration, and shame that can sit beneath everyday ADHD struggles, and what it can mean to meet those moments with understanding instead of judgment.
