rediscovering shame and giving yourself compassion (how to deal with shame as someone with ADHD)

this is directed towards my fellow ADHDers who have trouble with reoccuring shame while leads to hindered productivity.

signs that your productivity is hindered by shame (compiled by my own experiences):

you feel negative physical symptoms when you think about your responsibilities

you find ways to avoid the responsibilities

every time you make progress, you feel like you don't ever wanna touch it again

when you present your progress, you feel ashamed of yourself because it's not finished (on time & according to ur standards).

you feel like you are a constant failure. you never win, despite achieving good things here and there.

you are a walking ball of anxiety

you have a fear of being perceived

there's probably more, but eh those are just from my own experiences

below i will write down what y'all should remember, what you can do to help yourself, etc. this is compiled from dr k, my own journaling time, and my firsthand experience from having shame 24/7

some things u gotta remember

shame is what exists in the gap between your ideal self and where you are currently.

your ideal self doesn't have to be unrealistic, it can be yourself when you were at your peak or someone who is very similar to you.

shame brings negative thoughts, because it makes you see progress as a negative thing.

instead of being happy that u made progress, u grumble to urself and ask "why didnt i just do it sooner? im so stupid". it's a reminder of your failures, so u avoid progress altogether.

shame can become a part of you, to the point where you feel uneasy or vulnerable if you dont feel ashamed at yourself

shame doesn't do anything to ADHDers in the long run except self-loathing and hindered productivity.

what should u do?

basically self-therapy, but instead of stopping at why, i try to solve my shame one-by-one.

examine past moments where you felt a LOT of shame. this can go back to elementary. the stronger the emotions, the better. now, write them down. you're probably cringing, but that is good. feel all the cringiness running through ur veins.

why did you feel shame? why did it happen? what did you feel?

reframe your thoughts. instead of immediately running away from it, accept it and justify it. give it compassion. give it a hug. was it your 7 year old self? hug yourself. it's okay to fuck up and do silly things sometimes, and it's okay to have ADHD. it's not our fault.

remember that ADHD is a lifelong nerudivergency, you can't just push it away. coping mechanisms and tools help, but give yourself some grace when you screw up. it's our first time living anyway.

calm your body down. make sure your physical body is doing okay.

now... think of one thing you want to do but can't because of shame and do these steps carefully. think of the reasons why you might be ashamed, and reframe your thoughts.

WARNING!! TAKE IT ONE PRESENT ACTION AT A TIME. don't do this for every action you want to take, let your body slowly learn that it's okay to make progress despite the shame you feel, and you are allowed to feel compassion for yourself.

train your body to accept compassion slowly. life is tough with ADHD but it's even tougher knowing that shame will get in your way. give yourself a break, it's fine to fuck up, we all go through different things anyway. even if it's not fine, you will learn and make those mistakes a lil bit lesser in the future.

ok hope this helps.

Me whenever people be talking about dumb shit at work, like bitch I DON"T GIVE A SINGLE FUCK ABOUT YOUR LIFE, GO AWAY, then I calm down and feel a little bad, ONLY a little though

Dude discovering myself as dragonkin bought me unrivaled joy. Yes, there is species dysphoria and stuff like that but i still dont feel unhappy or miserable

The fact that im a dragon! A fucking dragon! Makes me go !!!!!!

I gained a new and grand understanding of myself, i feel myself, i never felt secure with myself like this before. Its feels so right, how did i live without knowing such things?

Sure. Its sad that i dont have actual wings or horns nor can i shape-shifting or spit fire but i still feel so happy. The fact that from now on i will live as a dragon is so marvelous itself! Like. Wdym i get to experience the miracle of life as a DRAGON!!!! This is so amazing

I am busy romanticizing my sadness.

[catgirl-kaiju]

I think accepting that I am, in fact, foolish and gullible a lot of the time is actually integral to cultivating critical thinking skills and correcting mistakes I've made. The people that see themselves as the smartest person in the room are the people that refuse to see opportunities for improvement within themselves and thus develop a resistance to learning. Like, you can't grow from foolishness if you refuse to acknowledge it.

Binged TBS back in the summer and then proceeded to write nearly 200k of fanfic (70% of which isn't posted yet) in such rapid creation that tonight my therapist diagnosed me with bipolar type 1. Thanks for domino meme-ing my bipolar diagnosis, Lauren! <3

oh my gosh, wow! I'm really honored that the show inspired such a huge amount of creativity (200k!!! my god!!!! incredible!!!) and that you've got a diagnosis that will hopefully improve your life simply through the fact that you now know more about your brain!!! hooray for good therapists!!!

[dufflebagwitch]

It feels so obvious and ridiculous that it's taken me this long to fully realize it, but with my mental health improving so much lately I'm realizing that my anxiety isn't just a symptom of another disorder i have, I just HAVE crippling anxiety. I always thought it was a symptom of my c-ptsd or my depression, and it would lessen or go away entirely when I got those under control, but now that I HAVE them somewhat under control, my anxiety is exactly the same. Which is quite daunting because that probably means I need anxiety meds

going to a comedy open mic tomorrow mostly to watch my friends (it's at a cool venue that my improv troupe performs at once a month and a few improv troupe friends are doing standup there) but when these friends were asking if i'd be interested in coming they were like "btw there's usually a ton of open spots on show days if YOU want to do something... and they're not strict about it only being standup either, people have done character pieces and sketches etc like they embrace the weirdness... and they're not strict about time limits you could probably do anything between three and eight minutes... sometimes if there's not enough people signed up they'll even let you go twice..." and i'm like god damn it i thought i was gonna take a break from aubrey but this setup is like tailor made for an aubrey appearance lmao

[thornheartless]

Actually I am getting bored of being the "haha, funny, pathetic, short twink." If anyone needs me I'll be listening to Shinedown and Three Days Grace while working out.

*with gritted teeth* going out to meet friends i haven't seen in years is going to be good for me and better for my mental health than spending yet another Saturday night in my room in front of a screen and i am going to have FUN no matter how badly i want to stay home
