...See more Does anyone feel comfortable sharing their story of getting an ADHD diagnosis? We can learn so much from each other and our experiences. I think it would be helpful for those of us on the fence about getting a diagnosis to hear from someone who has gone through the process. I have read that it can be a costly and lengthy process, what was your experience? How did getting your diagnosis impact your life? What were some of your positive and negative takeaways?

...See more Hi folks, I'm Tony and I'm new to 7 Cups. I recently started therapy again after experiencing an emotionally challenging year (non-ADHD related). I've struggled with ADHD my entire life and as I've grown into more senior professional roles I've noticed it's effects on my performance moreso now than before. I look forward to meeting you all and getting myself back on track.  Have a great week ahead everyone :)

Ideas for the perfect Holiday gift for the ADHD’ers in your life, or yourself ;)

...See more In keeping up with the holidays, I thought to give you guys some ideas on what sort of presents are well suited for us neuro divergent folks. Pomodoro timer cube for productivity (just don’t lose it, ok?). Weighted or soft blankets for cozy comfort (anxiety's greatest foe). Green or matcha tea for energy (contains L-Theanine, keep charged but calm, sounds like an oxymoron but hey its true nonetheless). Psst..I drink a lot of this stuff. Smart water bottle (one that has a timer to remind you to drink or is self cleaning, or both!) Noise cancelling headphones for focus and productivity (say sayonara to unwarranted distractions) Key finder tiles for organization (now where did I put my phone, keys, wallet.) Instant pot or crock pot for easy meal prep (shut the lid and let the magic happen). Fidget toys or rings (because multi tasking is going to happen. It just is). A gift that relates to their most current hyper focus (Oh the possibilities are endless here).

I am the smartest and stupidest person I know

...See more Inside of myself, I am constantly switching between feelings of intelligence and stupidly.  I never can decide on what I am.  As soon as I start to feel smart, something reminds me of why I consider myself stupid.  Then something comes up and due to some circumstance I feel smart again.
Pomodoro for Productivity (say that five times fast)

...See more Yo! I can't believe I haven't done a post on the Pomodoro technique yet. 🍅😜 This is one of the go-to methods for increasing your productivity. Take a look at this infographic below. The basic idea is easy enough to understand. Now, when it comes to practically applying the technique, here is what I will do. I get my dopamine in first by doing something I like for about a half hour, then I start on my workload for the day using the Pomodoro technique. I find this works well for me. Has anyone else tried this? What was your experience? Let me know in the comments.

...See more Hey loves, It’s been quite a while since I last posted here. Life has been hectic and overwhelming, but I’m finally back with an update. For those of you who don’t know me, I’ve been an active listener since 2017, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of connecting with some truly amazing people. I’ve also navigated some tough and challenging conversations, but every single one was worth it. Here’s a bit about me: I have severe ADHD, and for most of my life, I struggled to find my path, accomplish something meaningful, and feel successful. There were moments of weakness when I felt completely defeated. I cried, doubted myself, and even came close to giving up. But one day, I made a choice—a choice to turn my ADHD into a strength rather than a limitation. I decided to embrace it, harness its unique energy, and use it to my advantage. And here I am today, finally breaking the chains that once held me back. I’m moving forward, growing, and building the life I’ve always dreamed of. So, to all of you who might feel like giving up—don’t. There is always a way forward, even if it’s hard to see at times. Use your challenges as fuel, and never underestimate the power of perseverance. You’ve got this.
Struggling with feelings of inadequacy and lack of accomplishment

...See more Are we too hard on ourselves? I have a feeling as ADHD’ers we tend to be our own worst critics a lot of the time. Did you have a period of remorse after being self or professionally diagnosed, where you felt bad about all the time you lost? Where you could have been productive and working towards something in your life, but instead you had years, decades even, of distractions, impulsivity and scattered thinking? These thoughts have crossed my mind more than a few times since I discovered this year that I most likely have inattentive type ADHD. I guess feeling some sadness around what could have been is natural and perhaps even a grieving process needs to take place to come to terms with these realizations. I recently watched a video that said that having undiagnosed ADHD equates to losing thirteen years of your life in which you could have been productive. That statement made me really depressed. Thirteen years? Maybe part of me doesn’t want to believe that is true or maybe its that life is not so cut and dry. Does anyone else feel what I am saying, and have any insights they would like to share?
Exercise tips and hacks

...See more Here are some ideas on how to get an exercise plan working for you, as movement has been shown to have a positive effect on dopamine levels, and improve our executive functioning. Many will admit that regular exercise is an essential tool in their ADHD management. A good approach to maintaining an exercise program and stick with it is to switch your activities up. Having ADHD we tend to get bored easily and our brains are always on the lookout for what’s novel. So in that case, I think it is also important to really enjoy your activity of choice. If you don’t like biking, try swimming. If baseball isn’t really doing it for you, then switch it up for basketball. You get the idea. Keep trying things until you find a handful of activities that you can cycle through. I recently heard in a podcast how effective running is for many of us, we tend to feel the effects of a runner's high even more so than neurotypicals do. You can call a friend, or use a personal trainer which gets you using the buddy system to help keep you motivated and accountable. Alternatively, some people have found a lot of success in joining team sports, so if you are curious, join that soccer or baseball team! Over a period of time, you will have formed a habit and a healthy one which will bring you nothing but benefits for days, weeks, months and years to come. Feel free to share in the comments what has worked for you in maintaining your exercise program.
