How do you cope? with jobs, relationships, finances, running a home? How do you relax, spend leisure time?
What things do you do to make life easier and or more enjoyable?
Nobody knows more about adhd than the people who have it.
Ive downsized job and resaponsibilites, life bit boring now but less chaotic than was.
How people life their lifes fasinates me. Plus im very very nosey Thanx

Hey, I'm nosy as well. I think it's a dopamine thing.......
I don't cope, no job, no relationship, money -none, running a home? I can't run a hot water tap..., Relax? I don't know if I can do that until I feel a difference one day that hopefully suggests I have somehow gained the ability to relax.
To make life easier, I don't do anything........ more enjoyable, I don't want that because it makes life harder overall.....as enjoyment has to be derived from actions. Actions require planning, planning requires thought, thought requires analysis without paralysis,
Phew..well, looking forward to others'

Am no expert I am actually very angry about how long the learning curve is taking me as in the mean time my life is falling appart. If I was a child or had a child with ADHD I would have got round this curve alot quicker and maybe not lost everythink in my life and ended up in a smelly creak! In some situations every second counts and the current situation is discracefull and makes me wonder why I pay tax again? To think that my dx was quick just makes it worse as others must be in same or worse boat than me watching their life falling apart in front of them only to be told by some GP that the computer says no must be unbarable No wonder people with ADHD turn to crime who wouldnt under the same situation

I'm an expert....in cocking up.
I have amazing 20/20 hindsight and coping is more a matter of accepting that am I who I am and to keep slogging away at being me.
I take my meds and try to be good.
And I like me - I'm a really nice person struggling with a wayward brain. It's not easy but it could be worse.

I dont know that I do cope with it, since I've only just been diagnosed I didn't know how to cope with whatever it was that was wrong with me before I knew. Now I know, I'm still in the same situation really, nowt has changed about any of it and I just bumble on through life as I always have tried to. If thats called 'coping' then so be it, but if there are other ways, then please let me know too, coz I have no job, no money and well, no education really. BUt wait I do have one thing......about 30 grands worth of debt and uncontrollable anger outbursts!
