I can't parent.

I can't get through a workday.

And see these patients without just losing it.

So when I was going through all of that, and I had a really tough time with that, because I knew I had ADHD.

I mean, it was hard because I was like, this is tremendous.

I felt like I was completely...

broken down and starting from scratch.

I was like, because I know how my brain works, I need to create systems that are very low lift for me right now and find a way to rebuild that way.

If I didn't have a diagnosis or an understanding of my brain, like this actually makes sense to me, or this is what I believe is going on.

I think I would have just kept trying to do what everyone else told me to do, which didn't work.

Yeah.

I'll tell you, after he passed, I don't drink.

I don't really do anything super interesting.

I was just like, my brain is so loud.

I want it to be quiet right now.

And I was just like, what can I do?

I knew at that point it was my emotional regulation and I was looking for a way to medicate this.

Yeah.

And I was like, that isn't something that I can medicate.

My brain is having a really hard time with things that are really big.
