My ADHD Journey: The Next Chapter
A diagnosis is part of your story, not the whole of it. Moving forward means keeping hold of who you are — your identity, interests, ambitions, strengths and dreams — while making room for the understanding you have gained.
REFLECTION PROMPTS
Reflecting on Your Next Chapter
Take these prompts at your own pace. There are no right or wrong answers – just gentle questions to help you notice what support, boundaries and treatment feel right for you, celebrate how far you've come, and choose one small next step.
Strengths
- What have I achieved since my diagnosis, however small?
- Which support has helped me most so far?
- What do I understand about myself now that I didn't before?
Ambitions
- What boundaries would help protect my energy?
- Is there anything about my treatment or support I'd like to explore or discuss with a professional?
- What would a kinder, more ADHD-friendly life look like for me?
Next Step
- What is one small, realistic step I could take this week?
- Who could I reach out to for support?
- How will I be gentle with myself if things don't go to plan?
