My ADHD-blog

Within the ADHD adult team where I wrote about in another posting they have started a while ago with a new project.
It's called cognitive therapy. It's going to be tested for I think 2 or 3 years.

2 weeks ago I had the first meeting with my personal coach.
It clicked, and I was looking forward to get started.
Although I must say that I was sitting there with mixed feelings.
Because it is great when your not only taken seriously,
but also get practical help. But on the same time I felt so embarrassed
because it sounds so stupid to say that I can't get a grip on my life.
That my life is a chaos. Knowing it is one thing.
But saying out loud to someone else is another.

But of course I'm not the first one she met with this problems.
So for her my problems are 'normal'.
I can imagine that for someone who does not have ADHD,
it's hard to understand all the practical problems we experience.

I'm so unbelievable happy with my wife!
Because she knows and understand allot of ADHD.
And her love for me is so strong, stronger then the stress I give her.
And believe me, I give her more stress then many can even imagine.
That is also an extra motivation for me to start with this cognitive therapy.

She, the cognitive therapist, is more like a personal coach to me.
What do I mean by coach?
Well she doesn't need to teach me what my problems are.
I know exactly what they are, I can't just get a grip of them.
And it's so much out of control that I don't even know where to start.

And that's right where she comes in.
If you did see my other posting which is called : Start of my day, then you get a idea of
how I live my life, or at least try to.

Last week we got really started.

I will write more about it later, I have no time anymore now.
