Hi, I’m 46 years old and have had a diagnosis since childhood ( was call add then). And without getting to much into it have had many challenges throughout my life. I’m in a good place now where my own Strahles coupled with therapy and medication help me manage things. Up until very recently i felt like this was something to overcome with willpower but now I’m more like this is a storm I just need to ride along with an do my best. I work in software development and in my current job I’m ramping up to take on a lot more responsibilities and leadership. I’ll be dealing with people alot more as a result and I basically am looking for advice on what to do in those moments when I recognize I’m being too “much” without just having to explain that I’m neurodivergent or that I have ADHD. i know I can meet the expectations set in front of me i’m just looking to see how to smooth over the rough patches.
Yea I do tend to struggle with meta analysis in the moment.
Oh for sure. It can be tough to zoom out and see what is going on and what you are doing while in the midst of things. I struggle with this all the time. The advice I gave is what I do when I do it right. Doesn’t mean I get it right all that often. But I’m getting better and I keep practicing.
