About doug with ADHD
I am a psychiatric physician.
I learned I have ADHD at age 64, and then wrote two ADHD books for adults, focusing on strategies for making your life better. I just published my first novel, Alma Means Soul.
Your Life Can Be Better; strategies for adults with ADD/ADHD
available at amazon.com, or smashwords.com (for e books)
Living Daily With Adult ADD or ADHD: 365 Tips O the Day ( e-book).
This is one tip at a time, one page at a time, at your own pace. It's meant to last a year.
As a child, I was a bully. Then there was a transformation.
Now I am committed to helping people instead abusing them.
The Bully was published in January, 2016.
It's in print or e book, on Amazon.

I love variety (maybe because I’m easily bored by things!), but my life is definitely a lot less stressful when I limit my choices. For example, I now buy one box of cereal, and that’s what’s for breakfast until it’s gone instead of buying my 5 favorite kinds because I don’t know what I’ll be in the mood for. Of course, I had to throw away a LOT of stale, half-used boxes of cereal before I figured it out. 🙂

that’s a beautiful example of simplifying, too. we have trouble with choices because choosing one means saying no to the others, and we want it all – or want to do it all.

welcome back. you got it exactly. so can you see where you can make structure, routine and habit and reduce the number of choices?
there are some great stories about how salesmen offer us numerous choices until we are exhausted and then they clinch the deal, in their favor of course. at that point we will agree to anything just to get out of there.

If I have a lot of choices I tend to get overwhelmed. I never thought about all of the choices there are for, well, pretty much everything anymore. No wonder I feel like my brain is fried.
