“Self-compassion allows you to be good enough as you are, with your warts, with your foibles, sometimes off-balanced, sometimes disorganized, but fundamentally perfectly imperfect as a human being, just like everyone else.”
As you move through life with ADHD, criticism — from others and yourself — accumulates and is internalized into beliefs about your self-worth. Many adolescents and adults end up feeling less-than or unworthy compared to neurotypical peers who look like they don’t struggle or make as many mistakes. It can be the recipe for a real mental-health crisis.
Remember that people are supposed to get things wrong, to learn, to pivot, and keep growing. This is what a growth mindset is all about: you focus on the lessons not just the outcome.Ask yourself what has happened in your life that’s led you to this place of negative thinking or low self-worth. What are your strong feelings communicating to you? When you react to a situation withor anger, consider the insecurities and fears that might actually be the source of those emotions.
When you’re mean to yourself, you’re actually punishing that 10-year-old with a skinned knee. You’re not offering a Band-Aid, not offering a hug, nor some soap and water to clean it up. You’re pouring vinegar on that wound. Is that what you want to do for yourself? . It will, however, take you nowhere worthwhile. Focus instead on where you’ve come from, what you do that works and where you want to go.“Stinking thinking” and “compare and despair” often lead to excessiveand unrealistic expectations. When you make a mistake or disappointment, you may find yourself sliding down a shame spiral to a waste dump of self-loathing.
