My ADHD has strained our relationship, but writing helps me filter my expressions

I'm currently improving my communication skills. When I type out my thoughts, I take the time to review them, which makes me more mindful of what I'm saying instead of being impulsive with my words. My ADHD has strained our relationship, but writing helps me filter my expressions, preventing me from blurting out mean, unhelpful, or unproductive language. This journal allows me to reflect on my word choices before communicating my needs, wants, or desires.
