ADHD Education
Events don't always create the circumstances in your life. It's how you respond to the events which can make or break your ability to grow into a stronger human being. Whenever I feel some gut-wrenching feeling in my stomach, I've learned to pause and distance myself from whatever is happening in the moment.
