I was overwhelmed by the response to my ADHD post yesterday and I wanted to say thank you for all the support and understanding it was so positive! I also had a few messages around how to know if you may be ADHD yourself. So I thought I’d share this. There is a tonne of info out there.

I personally sought diagnosis because I was at a point where I was really struggling with quite a few areas and just really needed help. So I would say no matter what it may be called, if you know in yourself that things aren’t right or you are struggling, seek answers, seek help and don’t stop till you get the help you need.

It’s been a while!
You may or may not have noticed I’ve been a little absent on here.
Thought it was time to share what’s been happening.
This year I was diagnosed with ADHD. After plenty of research I was 99% sure that I would be diagnosed but somehow it didn’t make it easier for me to navigate.
I’ve always been really open about any mental health struggles I’ve had, after years and years of being treated for anxiety and depression. But this one felt/feels different for me.
My son was diagnosed a couple of years ago and not once did it make me think any differently of him. Though for me there’s been a big internal struggle of being ok with it, still working on that one.

On my diagnosis I was told I’m at a level that would greatly benefit from medication 💊. So after some trial and error I’ve landed on a medication that works well.

The part of the diagnosis that felt good was an understanding and explanation for all the things that were a major struggle for me. The constant feeling of never being able to keep up with everything on my plate, of a consistently messy, chaotic house, of always being the last mum to send in the kids notes for school, the missing library books, not having milk in the morning for breakfast because I’d gotten carried away with something else and forgotten, the early morning trips to Kmart for socks for kids to go to school because I couldn’t find any or had fallen behind on washing again. All the things, all the things I felt so much shame around, all the things I felt judged on.

The massive lack of knowledge around what ADHD actually is and how it shows up in women meant that I didn’t get diagnosed until 40! And only then got diagnosed because I advocated for myself and went to the Dr explaining why I thought this may be what’s going on.
This meant for years of being treated for anxiety and depression, the underlying cause of these was undiagnosed ADHD.

I have so much more to say on it but I won’t bore you with the details, just know I’m still here, I’m ok, and I’m just trying to navigate my way through this along with my first ever year at University 🤯

You hold the paints, and the brush, it’s time to create your masterpiece!

The only thing in the way of you living your life the way you dream of is you.

What if you got to become all of those things you talked yourself out of, of going for your dream career, of travelling the world, becoming a writer, an artist, a business owner, an activist?

What if you just realised that the thoughts in your head about not being able to become the version of you that you long for, are just that, thoughts?

What if you decided to quit listening to those thoughts holding you back and decided to just take the plunge and do the damn thing??

This life is not a dress rehearsal, it’s for real! You’re not to old, you are smart enough, you are worthy.

Go paint that canvas of yours as wildly as you want!!! 🎨

Tell me, what do you wish you could go for?
