Handy Hints to be Better at your Job with ADHD!
Whoops! Guess who forgot to upload the fortnightly blog article on time? That would be this ADHDer right here. I’ve been super busy over the last two weeks (figures, after I wrote a blog article about taking time to slow down in Autumn, right?). Do you ever think your ADHD gets in the way of being good at your job?Trust me, that used to be […]
Read moreThe Changing of the Seasons…
Most people wait until New Year’s Eve to make grand resolutions. They set goals with fireworks and champagne, determined to change everything overnight. But honestly? I think life is too short for that kind of pressure. For me, it isn’t about years—it’s about seasons. And by seasons, I don’t just mean spring, summer, fall, and winter (though they matter too). I mean the seasons of […]

Dogs live in the moment and when we’re around them we can tap into that mind frame too which makes us less stressed.

Right — on to the next amazing thing that’s going to cure ADHD! Ha, I wish. Those of us with ADHD know there’s no cure — only things that help us cope day to day, whether that’s medication, therapy, setting alarms, etc. The trick is to find a coping strategy that works for us, as individuals, because what helps one person might do nothing for […]
Read moreHow AI Helped Me Overcome Some ADHD Challenges — and Finally Write My Novella
Living with ADHD often feels like trying to catch fireworks with your bare hands — brilliant ideas everywhere, but impossible to hold onto for long. Organisation, focus, and finishing projects can be a real struggle, especially when creativity is your strength and your stumbling block all at once. For over ten years, I tried to write my novella. I’d start strong, full of excitement, but […]
Read moreCraving ADHD Meds (No, I’m not a drug addict!)
There aren’t many days where I crave ADHD medication, but I definitely had one or two them a few weeks ago. These days more often than not coincide with my time of the month (sorry guys, but it does happen) and I’m not sure if it’s because I’m more tired at these times, more hormonal or just irritated. Whatever if it is, my focus ends […]
Read moreAlexa, Cure my ADHD!
Hey ADHDers and Allies! A happy new year to you all! I hope you had a great holiday season. Personally, I found Christmas day to be very overwhelming and much more enjoyed the downtime afterwards. Alas back to reality now and I’m still adjusting. I’ve been getting better acquainted with Alexa over the last few months to try and aid symptoms of my ADHD. This […]

It’s that time of year where I begin to wrap up the ADHD blog until 2025, which gives me a chance to enjoy the festivities while also reflect on how I can continue to develop ADHD and Me in the future. So, the final blog article of the year will be released on the 19th of December (in just two weeks’ time). I don’t know […]

Note: Hey ADHDers and Allies! Sorry about the radio silence next week, I was in a difficult place between my S.A.D and PMS, but I’m back next and ready to tell you about you about how a little bit of understanding and kindness totally made our Belfast holiday great! After an early morning flight we arrived at our hotel in central Belfast fiarly early, but […]
Read moreGOALLLLL!
We ADHDers never tend to think of ourselves of people who can achieve goals for two main reasons; one we’ve put down so much that by the time we reach adulthood we think we’re incapable of doing anything write or/ and two; we’ve never learned to set goals in a way that really benefit us. Fortunately, and unfortunately, I’ve been on both ends of that […]
Read moreMy Swiss Brain Break
Wow, how do I even begin to describe what I experience in Lucerne, the Saturday I was in Switzerland. First of all, let me start by asking you if you ever feel like ADHD is a constant noise in your hand that stops you being productive, emotionally exhausts you and makes your focus go out the window? Well for probably one of the first times […]
Read moreWhy Discipline is NOT a dirty word!!
Any parent knows that disciplining your child for inappropriate behaviour is a double-edged sword! You have stern words with your child? Instant guilt! You take something away from them? Instant guilt! You stop then doing something they enjoy? Instant guilt! Nobody said being a parent was an easy business and those who do say it have clearly never been parents. So yes, parenting alone is […]
Read moreWhy My ADHD Brain Belongs in Cornwall!!
My names ADHD Girl and I’m addicted to Cornwall! For those who’ve never heard of it; it’s a really rural beautiful place in the Southwest of England (if you think of that leg at the bottom left-hand side of the UK, most of that is Cornwall!). For those who have heard of it but have never been, you are missing out big time!! So, what […]
