Losing My Beliefs

I want to believe in psychic powers again and that I have them but what's the point if my disability probably makes my powers weaker.

I think we all have the power to see the future in our dreams. In fact predicting the future is one purpose of dreams. Dreams do this by analyzing the past and present and projecting it into the future. Your mind does this while you are awake as well, but it is more preoccupied with the future a few feet ahead of you so the long term analyzing and planning gets drowned out by your thoughts. Perhaps the thing to understand is that there are not just one past and one future, but many many of each. Seeing ones own past and present more clearly is what allows one to better navigate toward the future that is most beneficial, which is not always the one the egoic mind wants. Anyway, the more you focus all of your thoughts on you ADHD, the less clearly you will be able to see your overall present and future possibilities. If one only walks about obsessed with watching their sore feet, they don't get very far and probably never get to where they wanted to go, and blaming their bad feet alone for this is no good.

It seems to me that if your disability is robbing you of your power it is doing so with your own consent as much as anything else. Every time you say I can't because of X, then you are giving more and more power to X. I know this because I have given up much of my own opportunities in life to X myself.

Anyway, for what it is worth, my perspective from this side of the keyboard is that for having an attention deficit, you seem to have no trouble paying consent attention to your ADHD, which paradoxically you seem to be using to rob yourself of motivation to take any actions to empower your future. IDK, but it is starting to sound more like Hyper Attention Activity Deficit to me. One thing you might do for starters is surf on over to the forums about mediums and such and see if they think having psychic powers (another idea which you seem to have no trouble paying constant attention to) is the key to all happiness in life. From what I have heard some people may even find them to be a burden and wish they didn't have them. And then go check out all the things that so many people with ADHD have been able to do. Lots of very successful people with ADHD, if you think it has doomed you, then perhaps you have been HAAD.
