"I never knew when things were going to ‘kick off’ and I felt unsafe and misunderstood."My CAMHS team made a referral for me to go to Adult Services whilst trying to prevent my deterioration in the meantime. However, they had no power to make big decisions over me as I was now over 18, which meant I continued to go to University and live away from home. In this time, my Eating Disorder got progressively worse which meant I had to drop out of University.I got to a crisis point where my CAMHS consultant had to call an adult psychiatric ward and get me admitted that day.

person that you are right now.It’s sometimes hard to put yourself first when it seems like everyone else needs something from you.

“Am I just like Brian?”I stored the thought in the back of my mind and pondered it every now and again. Then, during an evaluation, my supervisor mentioned a few issues with my work habits, and a bell sounded in my head.“Ding! Dong! This sounds like ADHD!”“I think I have ADHD,” I told my supervisor.“I think so, too,” she said. She had a grandson with ADHD and was familiar with the symptoms.I told the pediatrician during my son’s check-in appointment, “I think I have ADHD.”He replied, “You do!”It was disconcerting that the doctor had only observed me at short routine appointments, yet had made this conclusion.

I am my greatest critic. While everyone else in the room is simply enjoying my quip, I’m preemptively seeking critical affirmation. While I’m not a judgmental person, I feel certain I’m being judged — or should be.I love the individuals who can seemingly push aside their insecurities and boldly wave their flag despite any discomfort.

According to Narcissist Abuse Report, parents often use this tactic with their children when they are trying to gain control of a situation and cannot handle it.Why do people stoop to such juvenile strategies to get their way?

What was memorable about it? Was it the topic, the words, or just a feeling it left you with?Maya Angelou said,“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”Gallo, 2014This quote describes the essence of positive communication. Besides leaving an impression on the listener, positive communication provides health and wellness benefits for the speaker (Pitts & Socha, 2013).Positive communication also “yields the potential to inspire people to achieve higher moments, greater good, and to act selflessly” (Pitts & Socha, 2013, p. 3).Let’s take a closer look at positive communication.Before you continue, we thought you might like to download our three Positive Communication Exercises (PDF) for free.

May 18, 2022ADHD medication use may decrease the risk for long-term unemployment among adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, according to a recent study published in JAMA Open Network.1 The study found the association between pharmacological treatment and decreased risk of unemployment to be significantly stronger among women.Previous research has shown that adults with ADHD face an increased risk for unemployment.2, 3, 4 Pharmacological treatments have proven effective in reducing core ADHD symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, poor planning, lack of organization, self-regulation deficits, forgetfulness, and impulsivity.5, 6“However, less is known about the extent to which pharmacological treatment for ADHD is associated with reductions in unemployment rates,” the researchers wrote. “This is a critical limitation, because long-term unemployment is associated with economic difficulties, worse mental and physical health, and higher mortality rates.”Researchers sought to determine whether taking medication for ADHD was associated with a lower unemployment rate among working-age adults.

Long before I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety, I was a typical student — I’d have a drink between classes, or drink with friends on a Friday night. For the most part, this was OK. Alcohol helped release my inhibitions, and I had a good time. But if I was already feeling depressed, I’d usually end the night in tears. If I was already feeling anxious, I’d retreat into a socially detached shell, watching from a distance while everybody else had fun. Then there’s the morning after, and the crushing anxiety that I’d said or done something “weird” — thanks, bullying trauma — and “made a fool of myself.”

Most of us are well aware of the ways in which chronic illness or disability has impeded our lives. The list of things we’ve lost is so very long. That is the reality of this journey. But in the midst of the pain and loss, I have noticed that some things are better because of this. I am a different person as a result of my experience with illness, and so is my family. And in many ways, we are stronger for it. Here are five ways my marriage has improved because of chronic illness:

You may lose motivation because you’re not eating healthy. If you consume carbs, fast food, and junk, then you’re not going to run on all cylinders. See, your body needs the vitamins and minerals found in fruits and vegetables.Without these foundations for a healthy life, you’re like an engine that’s misfiring.

Mondays—dare I say—enjoyable. In fact, when you spend your Sundays fully recharging, getting ahead, and preparing accordingly, you might even feel excited and motivated to crush that Monday meeting or book a tough workout.

self-esteem. And, as we know, our kids need all the school encouragement and motivation they can get.Some parents try to stave off the summer slide with worksheets and brain-building books. But imitating school invites ugly battles.

When you get that first taste of 70-degree days at the end of spring, the excitement of summer begins to build. But it’s also the time of year when I start to become more aware of my body. Through fall and winter, I live blissfully free of the anxious feelings surrounding what my body looks like.

Studies have found that perfectionism is linked to indecisiveness. This is because:Fear is a powerful motivator. Being afraid can make someone act out of character, show their true colors after years of hiding, or trap someone in a stagnant, frozen state – that’s how powerful it can be.

Keto diet is all the rage these days.This eating plan’s premise is that by giving up carbohydrates and eating more fat, you will lose massive amounts of weight. The theory is excellent, but many people fail because they overeat and don’t have a caloric deficit.

Childhood Trauma Recovery. Verbal abuse is sometimes more challenging to overcome than physical abuse, as wounds heal, but words cut deep.Whether an adult or a child, handling such negativity can be a challenge, you want people to like you, think you’re doing great in life, and be in the cheerleading section. When they say things that are criticized, it hurts badly.When someone you love says something that hurts you, you don’t have to take it sitting down.

Whether it’s barbecuing on a patio while drinking rosé or lying on a beach with a good read, summer was made for indulging in the greater joys of life. It’s easy to ditch the gym when the weather is nice or forget to drink enough water when you’re busy hanging with friends (we’ve all been there), but a summer of wellness doesn’t mean you have to stick to your same healthy routines; it just means adjusting based on what your body needs for the season.The good news is that having your healthiest summer ever also means having your best summer ever.

Being hard on yourself to the point where mistakes are all you can see is counterproductive.

Characterized as the biggest state and local building code change in 20 years, October 8, 1997 is a date few know to commemorate. This is when the ICC/ANSI A117.1 Committee on Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities broke the six-inch reach barrier. Lowering the standard from 54 to 48 inches in new or altered buildings and facilities made ATMs, gas pumps, elevators — everything activated with a push, pull or turn — accessible to people with dwarfism and half a million others whose disability involves a reach limitation.

ADHD is a trip. That trip often takes me to some of the best places imaginable, but can also lead me down a path so convoluted I swear Dante wrote a book about it. I’ve tried them all: Post its advancing like an army across desks, pinboards, endless planners, or turnkey “systems” — you name it. But my ADHD never felt “at home” with those. My business partner tried getting me into the software route: Airtable, Monday, Asana — you get the picture. But none of them got to the root of the issue: consistency isn’t about the system, it’s ultimately about the user.
