I'm interested in any tips or techniques for successfully maintaining an exercise programme with an ADD/ADHD brain.
My own story is: I'm in my early 50s. I've had mental health problems for all my life. Most notably addictions, most durably alcholism (from which I'm now clean - so I just need to sort out the compulsive social media use!) Relatively recently - and to be honest, via that compulsive social media use - I've recognised the way I've always been as an exact match with the descriptions of Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. (I'm in the process of trying to get a diagnosis and maybe treatment.)
This gives me issues with planning, scheduling, getting bored and discouraged easily...
(I wonder if it's indicative that Darebee is the most successful I've ever been in this regard: it's online, it cleverly uses gamification (challenges, programmes, RPG) to make exercise engaging.....)
Any advice would be great. And, if anyone else thinks of themselves as neurodiverse in this way, I'd love to hear from you.
