Episode 3: Big ideas and difficulty following through

Do you (or someone you know) struggle with following through on personal projects? It's really hard to have a brilliant mind and always second-guess yourself. This is the struggle for many adults living with ADHD including this week's guest on The CBT Dive. In this episode, we explore how Zee compares himself to others whose job performance and career trajectories seem linear and straightforward while he worries that his knowledge and lived experience don't measure up. The cycle of ADHD is clear: Zee has great ideas and lots of ambition but struggles in certain domains (time, organization, self-esteem); then, he "drops the ball" and feels like a failure, which reinforces his beliefs about not being good enough without having given his ideas a try.
