It's really great to see a service like this.
I was diagnosed with ADHD at 30. It's shocking how much damage it can do in your life. On the outside you might see the lost jobs, career trouble and difficulty in relationships but the inner world of ADHD can be even worse. Frustration from unmet goals and shame from letting down those closest to you.
Unfortunately, where I'm from insurance doesn't cover any kind of talk therapy. Online services like this can be an affordable way to access help.
Thank you for your kind words, it goes a long way.
I was also diagnosed as an adult and unraveling the inner world is the hardest part! Then for me, is communication and understanding with people around me that I care most about.
Where are you from? I'd love to see if we can help support you (if you want)! hi@shimmer.care
I'm based on Japan, which can have a lot of hurdles on getting medication (stimulant medication requires a special registration card) and having an ADHD diagnosis can affect getting insurance, getting a mortgage and etc.
Ah! I wasn't aware of that in Japan. I'm sorry to hear it's hard for you to get what you need, or at least to try it... We're here to help brainstorm alternatives for you. Hang in there!
