I hate to say it, but a lot of adults with AD/HD have an attitude problem. Many of us are negative thinkers with low self-esteem.
It’s understandable; life with AD/HD can have us feeling bad for being so “different” from everyone else. And we feel worse when we try to improve our lives using the wrong systems.
Mainstream advice doesn’t account for the unique wiring of AD/HD brains, and when this advice fails, we feel like we’ve failed. It chips away at our self-esteem.
Lessons Your Pain Can Teach
There are natural remedies for pain. Here is one of them.
I have a pain in my brain, it seems, near my left temple. The pain surfaced last night as my Labor and Delivery unit got busier and busier. I started out the night with a headache which my nursing colleague soothed away with the Mechano treatment I teach.
She does a superb job.
The pain in my brain keeps surfacing and I think about everything it could be.
An atypical migraine, perhaps?
A lingering pain from the earlier headache?
A brain aneurysm? A brain tumor?
