ADHD - I Never Get It Right

Living with ADHD means experiencing moments when you're not aware that you're struggling or you've messed up. One of the things that happens with kids who have ADHD and are also perfectionists is that they are trying to control outcomes, which is a fundamental aspect of managing anxiety. And there's a persistent worry that goes along with when is the next time that I'm going to receive negative feedback when I wasn't expecting it. That thinking holds people back from getting started or trying things.
