[QUOTE="Giulia, post: 520043, member: 14306"] Hi *, Motivation plays a part in succeeding without medications with- ADHD. However, it's super short lasting. Exhaustion follows the effort. It's more realistic with medicines. My only secrets to have been able to reach where I am now are pick up the battles and rely to baby steps. A little list of absolutely non negotiable rules, but constantly enforced whatever the matter, the rules you absolutely don't give up. Another set of preferred rules, you wish it but you won't put yourself in danger to obtain them. A third set of rules for what would you love in an ideal world (if you have it, great. Otherwise, be it). If you try to fight for everything, you exhaust yourself and you drown everyone at home. Believe me or not, it will save your sanity. I also rely on baby steps. I know I can't completely change a situation in a whole at once (mom can, and great for her. I don't have her ability to do it). So I rely on one goal at home and one goal for my job. At home, it was let said "not exploding to each other and learning to listen to mom". For my job of advocating (yes, I treat it like a job), it was "organizing my computer folders". Once a goal has been mastered, I go to the other. If you want to change everything at once, I am afraid for you of not being capable to be lasting to keep what you set up (because it would be a near impossible task for everyone, not only for me or for you). Take care of yourself [/QUOTE]
