To me one of the things you do is you have to take care of yourself. I'm asking those with the diagnosis to resource themselves. Family members have to resource themselves also.

So are they getting away?

Are they taking time to themselves?

Are they not picking things up that they're not responsible for because they're worried they're not going to happen.

All these things are components of it, but if you don't take care of yourself, then suddenly

what starts to happen is the distress of the condition starts to affect you and you're having

these secondary effects from the ADHD diagnosis rolling over. Now the reality is these the vast majority of people okay everyone with

ADHD they have good hearts okay unless there's character issues going on there's

been severe trauma or someone's got other issues happening,

this is not a meanfully willfully I'm just trying to piss you off so I'm going to forget it again.

And that's hard because it doesn't look that way when it's happening.

And so having some compassion and frustration tolerance around those interruptive spaces

can be helpful for family members. It is not take away the responsibility

of the individual to take care of whatever the issue is.
