Get on medicine. It’s the thing that actually changed my life.
That, and learn what adhd actually does, stuff like issues prioritizing tasks, sudden impulsive thoughts, “the adhd wall”, RSD, weak inner voice, etc. It’s much easier to handle if you understand it and can differentiate between something like an impulse and regular thoughts.
I recommend watching videos from Dr Berkeley on YouTube on how to manage adhd. There are lots of tricks like making things physical (time, tasks), or using with external consequences to combat weak inner voice
not Berkeley, its Russell Barkley. He's done a few hundred videos after he retired from the day job, but now he's 72 and really retired, so it's back to Google scholar we go... :-)
