How do people function while living with ADHD? I’m pretty much non-functional, it’s taking a toil on my mental health, I’m stuck in constant rumination. I try to look for a reasonable solution, but I see the unreasonable

Hey @creative_writer
It sounds like this would be pretty disconcerting when you're trying to ground yourself.
Maybe some other methods you could give a god could be other calming activities like listening to music, taking a walk, maybe getting out in nature a little bit if that's accessible to you, or perhaps rather than focusing on the body sensation part of grounding you could focus on an object - really take in all the details of it
