The Adult Guide to Shedding ADHD Shame (with Linda Roggli, PCC)

There is nothing anyone can say to me that is worse than the things I say to myself. That hits home hard.

Can't fix mind, decades of misery. It feels like I reinvent the wheel of confusion everyday.

Wow, this sure hits a nerve. Thank you for a great video. ADHD at 52 years does not seem real to some and they think I am making it up. Life is hard at times.

I never thought of it but when people say “that’s just an excuse” about our adhd, not only is it dismissive but it’s shaming.

This really hit home as I’m learning more and more of my later in life diagnosis

I've always felt tolerated not accepted in this world. Even in my family.

This was a wonderful presentation. The shame we endure is deep and persistent. Just knowing that there are people like us out there and more people like me just makes me feel a little bit better. For once I got to hear everything that I wanted to say about the topic. You guys covered pretty much everything from the internalized shame to the family members who just don't get it or feel that it's just another excuse. My family would say everybody has problems we don't need yours on top of ours.


So many people in my life have rejected me I basically become isolated and speak to anyone outside person I live with. No family and no friends. Just my dog and my kitties that's all I need. That nicotine and caffeine lol😊

33, just diagnosed, this hits home. Going through a separation as well right now, life sucks. But I am hopeful that I'm on the right track finally.

I am the only child (w/ADD) of a single mother (w/out ADD). I've always felt like a tremendous disappointment to her, and this video helped me understand our relationship better. Thanks for making it available.

Thank you for this talk. I do the exact same things and feel the same way. All through my life. I didn't understand it at all why I was always messing up just when things were going well. I am 65 and only figured out a few years back that I am ASD and ADHD. Was diagnosed with depressive anxiety disorder when I was 18 but overcame it for many years. As I got older it got harder. I thought I would never retire but finally figured out that I can have a financial planner figure it out for me. My wife is also ADHD and we are quite a pair of goofballs at times. Once you understand what it is you can learn about it more and compensate and also be forgiving of yourself.

8:31 yep!!! We get shamed for taking meds and for not taking meds or taking meds and it still not fixing anything

WOW!! This speaker is AWESOME!! Thank you!! I would love to hear her speak in depth about procrastination.

This was timely. Thank you. I've been wrestling with shame, especially over the past 9 days. This helps. I'm 67 and wasn't taken seriously until last year when I got a diagnosis and started getting help from a new younger doctor. They've made it so I can focus on the work I need to do to move forward. It's been a rough but good year since but I've had a hard time with shame after all the memories I've processed.

Yes! Ohhh! I did what your friend did. I went in on weekends and holidays and stayed late when I wasn't supposed to. I did have a supervisor that was an accountability partner and helped me. That is my problem, it is hard to ask for help.😢

Ok I cried to this one ngl 🤧

Be careful with Linda. She and her assistant really hurt me a couple of years ago. I am still not quite sure what I did "wrong". I was pretty active with her program. I did some private coaching, the group coaching (and felt I fit in okay), the organization program, and participated in a blog she started (where I don't think I said anything bad). I have very sick husband and probably missed some social cues somewhere. Anyway I was cold shouldered and rejected. So don't get hurt. Be an Addiva and stay strong! Try not to get hurt even by those in the ADD field!

I actually crawled under my desk several times to hide. Also to pray.

Thank you so much for these webinars 🥰

64 years old and still battling the lifelong effects of undiagnosed ADHD (46). My wife is a HS counselor/MA LCT, etc and yet doesn’t understand the devastation caused by this “disorder” 😢

Thank you kindly for the replay. Tried to get on the Webinar this afternoon, but for some reason it didn't work. I really needed this. Is it possible to get an answer for a question I have on utube? If so, please let me know?

I used to hate myself when looking in the mirror, even punching it, and myself. It’s occurred to me recently that I haven’t done that for years. What happened is I don’t see “myself”. I see a reflection of that human known as them by others … but “I” am not a “person.”
