Hi everyone, hope you are all having somehow productive day with as less as possible "bumps" along the way. I am recently diagnosed by ADHD and, of course, everything made sense... I'm 41 mum, 2 beautiful children, and all my life I didn't even suspected I have something like that. I only found out after I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis two and a half years ago and later on with PTSD and OCD... I know, right? Is there anything else they could add to the list? Probably shouldn't ask the question as I might not like the answer...
So after the RA diagnosis, which was hell by the way, but here I am - still here - I can no longer exercise the way I used to exercise before. My body is simply saying "nope, I'm staying in bed - you - you can do whatever you want to do...". But I can't, can't I? I am an ex gymnast and ex runner and now I know why I was able to manage my ADHD symptoms without even knowing it. I was running 5 days a week a minimum of 5 miles up to 8 or 10 (depending how much energy I had to squeeze out of me), follow by weight lifting and varies of other exercises, sports, you name it...
I tried to get back to running again, but I can't run like before, I tried yoga - it truly pissed me off, I tried ty-chi - impossible!! Who is even able to move that slowly? Anyway, I will definitely try to get back to some form of running - thank God my legs are working as my hands are out of the picture sort to speak... but the bloody RA is draining, sucking out all of my energy. I also go to a therapist for my PTSD, which I think it's a total waste of time - I had a pretty rough lets say 5-6 years with quite a few miscarriages and ta-daaaa - PTSD.
I don't even know what to ask... How the hell to continue my life as as normal as possible person, managing ADHD, RA, PTDS and OCD? How to tell to my brain to simply shut the **** up? I know there are millions things I MUST do, but I can't so f*** off!!! Only my brain doesn't listen to me:)
So any insights, ideas, suggestions, whatever you've got - please say something cos I'm kind off running out of phones or other things to smash to pieces...
