Savage Self-Care | At Peace With ADHD, TBI, And Interstitial Cystitis
By Ray Graber
Welcome to Savage Self-Care. In 1999 I lost the memories of my childhood in a car accident and in June 2023 they started coming back. For as long as I can remember I've been at war with myself and my conditions. Savage self care is both a cautionary tale and an exploration into the unknown as I unravel the why and find true peace with ADHD and a severe brain injury.

At peace does not mean I'm not fighting, I just know how to return to balance after the fight is over.

External vs Internal Pain
How it took almost getting attacked by a dog to understand how better conditioned I am to release physical pain than emotional. Like a dog w a bone, I'll drive myself crazy looking for peace in my own mind.

Failure & Focus
By picking my battles I can avoid doing the things I want to do (the shiny things) and get better at consistency in the things I need to do.
