I have ADHD (late diagnosis) and am both medicated and have had years of counselling.
The problem with ADHD is that a simple dopamine system deficiency expresses in ways as complex as humans themselves.
I found something that works for me but I imagine it wouldn't work for anyone else.
Even with thousands spent per year on the best help, I'm still my own worst enemy due to the constant brain discomfort.
As an example, my work focus is fine but I struggle with compulsion , impulsively, chronic boredom and addiction.
While I applaud any effort to raise awareness and develop solutions, the solutions I feel are as complex as the problems and they're not something you can encapsulate and charge $99/mo for.
Sorry.
Thank you for sharing your experience. And kudos to all the work you've done.
I definitely agree that our bite-sized coaching is not meant for everyone, nor is it meant for every situation. I am always happy to jump on the phone with any potential Shimmer member to discuss their unique situation and am always honest about if we think we can help or not.
Oftentimes the outcome of this call is simply support from another peer with ADHD (me) and perhaps a soft referral to a service or medical professional we know.
