Radical is very fitting for this book.

I had a really good vibe when I came across this book. The name is very fitting, as the author's intentions becomes more and more comforting and reassuring with each chapter. I was diagnosed in February and I'm being treated for this disorder of hell. I have always known that I had so many great qualities about myself, and I really enjoy learning, however, with ADHD, I would feel like I would get to take steps forward and just as soon as I get my flow of getting the hang of whatever it is I attempt to do, it's like I hit wall.

People definitely do not really know the real me because the core of who I am, has been buried under this horrible disability. Disability.... I am not ever going to embrace this term for my brain, because living undiagnosed all these years have truly kept me from growing and I have already missed out so much. Normal changes of life that humans go through with growth, passed me by a many of times. I was beginning to think I was cursed! But, being diagnosed later in life has granted me a more appreciation for myself.

What I mean is, with all my short comings, (and there are a lot of them) I have made some decisions that were for the best for my daughter. I have always been teachable, because of my attitude. I was always listening to words of others, who tried to help me. And although, some friendships fizzled out , due to my inability to do or to think the way most people do in my age group. Even though I really wanted the mentorship, and I was looking for some others ways to help come out of a deep hole I was born in, I had to be loved from a distance.

I don't remember anyone speaking about ADHD in girls let alone grown adults. For the longest time, I thought ADHD was a male child disease, that they would one day out grow. I am so glad that further research had been done in this neurological, debilitating, depressing, illness. Listening/reading this book, gave even more clarity, and strength to live my life the way I was designed to live. I finally feel like my true propose in life is going to be accomplished. Radical, is a word that fits perfectly for my personality, and how I approach life now.

I don't want anybody to feel sorry for, but to understand. Empathy and sympathy are two total different things, and I can tell you that sympathy is an emotion that I don't want anybody to have for me. Listening to the different stories in this book, was therapeutic for me. It let see that there are other women out there with similar situations that I have been through, and it help me to understand my mind and how it works with having ADHD. This book is very comforting and it has added the fuel I need to keep on going. I thank the author's /therapist who wrote this book from the bottom of my heart. Although I had began to feel better once I started treatment, this book has made me even more understanding and forgiving of myself. This book is my therapy and my self love guide.

The questions that this books ask of for the outcome I am looking for, will help me even more once I began to write in my journal. All I want to do is heal, so that I can have a meaningful, wonder life, with no regrets or lack of information regarding my own brain. This book is definitely part of my healing and growth.

Thank you all who contributed to to this medicine in a book from the Preface, Foreword, the stories of people with ADHD that contributed their life story and the therapist who spoke life, new life to me. I have been trying to get on the other side of depression and stagnation, forever. But because I had no idea that I was operating on a ADHD brain, I truly did not have the ability to do what I wanted to or be my natural self, I didn't know how to get out of my own way.

Life is looking so much brighter, and I can finally see the light at the end of tunnel. Thank you all for this book. Thank you so much!
