“Being overwhelmed can lead to procrastination, which often leads to being chronically late for deadlines and appointments. Being chronically late can take a toll on your self-esteem and damage your relationships. You’ve probably heard your whole life that you are uncaring, selfish, immature, or worse. Executive function impairment is tied directly to a distorted sense of time and a struggle to manage it.”

“You’ve probably heard comments such as these your entire life: “Why can’t she put her stuff away?” “Doesn’t she care how it affects the rest of us?” “Why is she so lazy?” “What a pig!” And you have most likely internalized these painful, derogatory, negative remarks over the years until they have slaughtered your self-esteem, making you wonder What is wrong with me?”

“Clutter and chronic disorganization combine to create a virtual hellhole for women with ADHD, a seemingly endless abyss that threatens to suck them down on a daily basis. The compromised executive functioning of the ADHD brain makes all things weigh in as equally important, thereby making sorting, selecting, and tossing a real challenge.”

“I said: what about my eyes?
He said: Keep them on the road.
I said: What about my passion?
He said: Keep it burning.
I said: What about my heart?
He said: Tell me what you hold inside it?
I said: Pain and sorrow.
He said: Stay with it. The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
