Ep. 16: ADHD and My Faith
06/20/22 • 31 min
Living with ADHD can be a life of taking three steps to every other person's one step in order to function in the world. It's also common to live with the concept of being judged for not measuring up to a standard we just can't meet on our own. These struggles can cause us to be impulsive and make rash choices, and as a result, they can come into direct conflict with being a person of faith.
In today's episode, Lacy discusses how her faith in God and ADHD collided when she let her ADHD take the wheel and she walked away from her faith. In her perceived rejection by God, she marched down a road of self love and self-satisfaction. A life-changing consequence of those choices helped her to realize that her life wasn't going the way she wanted it to and she not only had to critically re-examine her problems with Christianity, but also find how to reconcile it with her ADHD.
