ADHD and Negative Thinking
The Fear Less Now
Negative thinking is a common feature of a brilliant yet overwhelming "hit me all at once" brilliant ADHD mind. It feels real because our thoughts are connected to our feelings that our personal mind is blaming on our outside situation (innocently). Yet when we see the illusory nature of our made up thought and thinking "neural machinery" we have free will not to identify with it or see any truth in our temporary thought storms.

The ADHD Simulation
The Fear Less Now
When we begin to notice the illusory nature of the "ADHD experience" (our mind is making up) we begin to spend less time in the "ADHD house of horrors" and more time in presence. But our brain tries to convince us that the experience the mind is making up is real because it connects "thought" to "feelings" which affects our physiology. The more we let go and drop the "experience" the mind is making up (in this moment) the less time we get attached to it. The less we get attached to it the less we suffer. The less we suffer the more we see that every ADHD'er is one thought away from insight,...
