There's loads advice out there to help without meds, this is how to deal with the difficulties she spouted about on the latest podcast (read it Edna)
Stop Making ADHD Excuses: Manage Your ADD Symptoms (additudemag.com)
1. Start by making a list of all the things you say that create a negative perception
. Think about your choice of words. Did you tell your boss or your best friend that you are not dependable? That you are never going to change?
Surely she does this in therapy?? She will never admit to anything negative, she is always right, everyone else is in the wrong.
2. Think about what you could do differently next time. Heading into a meeting late is a terrible time to state the obvious. Enter the room, sit quietly, and get involved. If there is anyone who needs to understand why you are late, take him or her aside after the meeting. Avoid going into long explanations, or you’ll be calling yourself out again.
Turns up late (like on breakfast TV) wasn't her fault, it was the traffics fault she was late.
3.
Use a planner to prepare yourself for a meeting or get-together. List all the materials you’ll need in the planner or the things you have to do to get to the dinner on time. The day before the meeting, put the material in a file and place it in a book bag. Set the book bag by the door, ready to go. If you’re going to dinner, place the directions to the restaurant and the car keys near the door. Then, set a 15-minute timer to remind you to gather your bag of materials, planner, and pencil, or the directions, before you head to the meeting or the dinner.
We've all seen she has a planner in the kitchen, says she loves making lists.
She wants everything done for her and for her to just turn up (not usually on time). Yet goes on about her fighting for everything she wants. Parties, gets everyone to grift everything for her, she doesn't set anything up, that's the party planners job.
Make up masterclasses, the hosts have decorated their salons, she just turns up, drinks prosecco and talks
tit about herself.
She may have ideas, but that's it, others sort it all out. She says you can't call her lazy...yes you can, she's busy doing nothing or getting beauty treatments. Her 'work' is not exactly stressful, podcasts, interviews, tv programmes, TT lives, writing a book, singing shows, showing up at events, she doesn't really do anything of value like the majority of the population and she has all these people working for her.
