Raising awareness of all things ADHD!
Personal thoughts for. ADHD Girl.
I’ve seen so many people who get diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood state that they wish they were diagnosed with ADHD earlier, possibly when they were a child because it would change how they felt about themselves at the time. While I can sympathise with that and do think ADHD should be diagnosed as early as possible I personally don’t think it changed the way […]

“Don’t be like that, do you want to be like Rachael? Everybody thinks she’s Ditsy!” is something that’s probably said by a mean high school bully right? Or maybe someone who doesn’t like you very much you’d think? Would you believe me if these were words my very first boss said to one of my colleagues?? Now before you feel sad for me, this all […]

Today’s blog article is going to be a short and sweet because just like last week I’m still waiting for my brain to power back up to it’s fully functionally level, if only I knew when exactly that would be because I do with it happening like yesterday. Anyway in today’s blog article I want to talk about that think that kids don’t want, and […]

Anybody feel like the month of January has lasted a year?? There isn’t much going on, it’s wet and cold (if you live in the UK) and most people are poor from spending all their hard earnt money at Christmas. Well I’ve not almost recovered from the drama of last week and if all the stuff in the last blog article wasn’t enough for you […]

So yesterday, I had what can only be described as some sort of mini meltdown!! The reason for it? Well to get you to understand the levels of stress and insanity I’ve endured over the past week and a half let me give you some context; we’ve recently had building work done on the house. This means we’ve had to pack up our house and […]

I am writing this about nine minutes before this blog article is due to go live, so no pressure, ey? Everything just seems to have gotten away from my over this past week. As I’ve said in previous blog articles I suffer from seasonal affective disorder which means that November-January for me is definitely no picnic. Thankfully I’m over the worst part of it which […]

Hey Everyone This is the last blog article I’ll be doing until 2024!! I can’t believe it’s already that time of year again already! Lots to reflect upon; some good and some bad! I was wondering whether to do my last blog article next week, but currently I’m swamped with lots of plans for this website in the new year, so I really need those […]

Sadly this week I’ve been really low on the emotional energy front which is common for people with ADHD. We either have too much energy that comes out as overexcitement or too little energy which means we lose a lot of motivation. There doesn’t seem to be much in between. Yet, because of the low emotionally energy I’ve had, I’ve been doing some reflection about […]

When I started this blog two and a half years ago, I just wanted people to know what ADHD is and what it’s not. I thought by talking about my personal experiences of having ADHD then it might help others going through similar things. Of course, it’s not been without challenges, for example my bad memory means I have to check previous blog topics to […]

So on this blog we always talk about the struggles we have, how we find daily tasks difficult, how people find us hard to take but rarely do we pause and think maybe the problem doesn’t lie with us? Firstly, of course ADHD exists and of course it makes our lives difficult and of course it’s hard for those who love us to manage it […]

So I had a rather interesting discussion with an academic on Linkedin the other day. Firstly, I’ll admit I’m not great at keeping on top of all my social media channels and it’s something I’m trying to work on. I hadn’t been on Linkedin for several months when I spotted an article talking about the terminology of neurodiverse and neurodivergent. I’ve always been quite proud […]

Nothing says ADHD than a complete meltdown because of the general routine change of a Monday morning. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think anyone is a big fan but I don’t think anybody loses their crap like us ADHDers. We all try to cope with it in different ways too, for some of us it may be having a duvet day and pretending it […]

Blah! Sickness alert! I don’t know about any of you guys, but I absolutely hate being sick in any form. I think it might be a sensory issue linked to my ADHD, because the absolute worst thing I can’t stand is eye infections and it’s annoying because I get them a lot. I’m nursing two right now! I’m a very visual person so it’s a […]

Hi everyone! Wow I feel like I blinked and missed the entire summer holidays but that’s because we were away for half of them in Disney World. Speaking of which; jetlag is a pain up the rear! We got back on a Sunday morning at 7am with barely two hours sleep due to the time difference and it being an overnight flight. I thought the […]
