I’ve survived the darkest parts of ADHD — not the hyperactive childhood version they warn parents about, but the **internalized, misunderstood, emotionally volatile adult version** that ruins relationships, destroys self-worth, and pushes people to the edge.

Cognitive Resilience Drive (CRD) refers to a neurologically embedded drive in individuals—particularly those with ADHD—to persistently re-engage with personal goals, ambitions, or problem-solving efforts, despite repeated failures, emotional setbacks, or systemic obstacles.
