Adults with ADHD are often confused as to why they constantly struggle at work and at home. Unremitting forgetfulness gnaws at them like a dripping faucet and brings with it an exponentially expanding sense of frustration that eventually leaves them feeling as though they were somehow broken. What may seem like mere “scatter-brained” tendencies begins to take a heavy toll in their life. Bills are accidentally left unpaid, labyrinthine mood swings threaten their effectiveness at work and their job security, and any promise to just “do better next time” is continually left unfulfilled despite their best laid plans.
Anyone who has ever experienced death, especially an unexpected death, knows how heavy loss can feel. More than just grieving, manifesting within someone can be an intense fear of death. Fear of death is a complex and extensive concern to carry, often taking years of work to progress. However, this doesn’t mean that you are powerless to help.
First, recognize that fear of death is significantly more likely to manifest in someone who has lost someone. This is something that they will not likely come forward about as it is an uncomfortable topic and no one likes reminding others of their own mortality. You will have to confront this within yourself somewhat before you take the initiative to bring up this topic to them.
Being engaged is an exciting time in life! The engaged couple eagerly awaits learning more about each other and anticipates spending the rest of their lives together. Any healthy relationship requires time and preparation in order for it to thrive and grow, and marriage is no exception. Every couple goes into their marriage expecting it to be great; however, a marriage that does not have a firm and steady foundation will lead to both people being bitter and resentful. Creating a healthy marriage that will continue to be strong in every situation is the goal for every new couple.
We live in a world full of words. Well at least I live in a world full of words. Those words are typically summarized as Accomplish. Do. Fulfill. Always. Move. Succeed. Improve. Work. These words fill our heads, my own head, everyday. I’m certain that this emphasis on our worth in life being a result of accomplishment is so socially engrained that it feels near impossible to escape. I’ve told myself these words for years and have self-inflicted shame every time I couldn’t live up to the unrealistic, short-sighted standard.
