❤ This is so timely for me. I am so glad you spoke about this. When my mom died of cancer in 1999, my ❤ was so broken I thought I might die too. I went to God with my sadness and anger. That first year was horrible. I was strong when I saw my dad but at home, work or wherever I would start sobbing. I would go hide in that pain. That was my first dark night of my soul. It went on for about 3 years. Since I was diagnosed with ADHD about 10 years ago, I am 58 now. I have been learning that my emotions are very strong and my anxiety is a comorbiti with my ADHD. All my life, I have felt different from others. I have found that when going through the dark nights of the soul, I need to focus on this day or moment. When I recently got fired from my job of 4 months, I was devastated. I had just started walking again to relax. I had been and still am trying to learn to plan and prioritize. I have to feel my feelings and ask God for help. I had not been writing in my journal for about a year because I was trying to use a bullet planner. This is what I learned: I need my prayer journal to continue to be separate from a planner/calendar. I have also been decluttering and trying to get house in order. I am beginning to come out of this funk. To know that I am not alone and can relate to other ADHDers is a huge encouragement. Thank you. Sorry this was so long.
