I tore my rotator cuff playing Badminton with my kid. I was a bit late to see physio as I had no idea what was wrong.

It seemed to be getting better. Then shooting pains, mobility not improving etc. Quite surprised that my physio missed it tbh. I tried to continue the exercises and stretches, but it was hard.

I also tried red light therapy (NIR) which I do think helped a bit. Carried on with a shoulder exercise group (for the rotator cuff) and things do seem to be getting better.

But the sleep sucks. Especially in this heatwave. And then I sprained and slightly fractured my ankle. So, another part of me hurting (worst in the morning)

I'm feeling so *old* all of a sudden. Like how many bits of me are having issues right now.

Just venting , really. Ugh.

Hi all,

I'm looking for some insight, guidance, experience.

I am a healthvare professional with ADHD (inattentive type and ... moderate?). I love my job (well, for the 50% of the time that I'm allowed to embrace my preferred ways of working anyway). And I really care abt supporting my service users.

I work in a secure mental health setting, supporting service users to be their best selves. Some of that work involves diet and lifestyle changes to improve physical health. Many (not all) of these guys have severe mental illness, or less severe mental illness combined with neurodivergence or learning disability.

A small handful of our service users have ADHD *bigtime*. Score highly on all traits, hyperactive presentation. Sometimes on top of other mental health conditions. I appreciate this is a hard way to live and sometimes think how 'lucky' I am in comparison.

I am a big believer in making reasonable adjustments and I always do my best to do so. But my toolkit is limited. I occy feel stuck working with people who struggle so hard already to engage in anything that doesn't feel immediately rewarding.

It bothers me that I feel unable to support them to the extent they deserve: we start work together and often they lose interest in spite of having clear motivation. I see this as a reflection of my skills/ways of working, rather than 'the service users are the problem here'. And I want to do better.

Is there anyone out there with this kind of presentation who can share what helps you to learn and build healthier habits? We can't use screens/devices. Just... talking, printouts, activities...

I have an open mind to other approaches. I'll happily use cooking, games, art, anything to make it more interesting and helpful. I have a small budget for materials and a fairly supportive team who can help implement advice in the longer term, given the right strategies.
