Wait what did I come into this thread for again? Oh yeah, ADHD!

Hi all.

New to this thread.

Welcome @MessyGirl !

G’day g’day @MessyGirl 👋🏼 G

Glad to have you on board @MessyGirl 😊

Thanks for having me.

Just a quick question, how to begin to forgive yourself? Struggling with that right now.

Talk to yourself as though you are talking to someone else? I found we are often harsher with ourselves and say things to ourselves which we'd never say to anyone else @MessyGirl

@MessyGirl Forgiving myself is a continuous process.

I am human, I will make mistakes. If I don’t make mistakes, then I’m a robot.

Come over to the Peer Group Chat

@Glisten how does one get to the peer group chat?

@MessyGirl I will find the post and tag you.

that is such a relatable question, @MessyGirl, how do we forgive ourselves?

sometimes I tell myself "I was doing my best with the knowledge I had at the time"

I've started doing a course on self-compassion, on the Aspect website. it's based on work by Kristin Neff, and adapted for neurodivergent people.

there are exercises to practise being self-aware and being kind to oneself
