Raising awareness of all things ADHD!
Personal thoughts for. ADHD Girl.
So I wrote this blog article before I went on holiday so even though it’s automatically set to upload today, I’m currently having a grand old time in the USA (or at least I hope so). Anyway don’t worry, that’s not what the exciting news is. The exciting news is that ADHD and Me is launching its very own monthly 15 minute podcast! Why a […]

This is going to sound like the biggest cliché ever, but have you ever had that time in your life when everything seems to be going right for once? Like the stars are aligned and all is right with the universe when suddenly there is that one spiteful jerk or event that suddenly makes it all comes crashing down? Have you worked out what this […]

I have no idea what’s wrong with me lately! Is it stress? Is it a vitamin deficiency? My ADHD has been pretty bad when it comes to actually maintaining an attention span, which is frustrating as anything if you’re like me and want to get stuff done. Having said that I always talk about the importance of us ADHDers being kind to ourselves and giving […]

I got some lovely presents amongst which was my new fitness tracker watch for my parents. For those of you who have been following my blog for a longer period of time, you will know that I have been […]

Is it an age thing? An ADHD thing, I have no idea, but nothing makes me more frustrated than when I don’t how to work a piece of technology and I need it to make progress. I recently purchased my third website because yep, you’ve guessed it I’ve taken on yet another new project. What is it with us ADHDers? We’re either not motivated or […]

Hi, I’m back fellow ADHDers and watch out because I have a lot to say. Firstly, I’m pleased to report that the personal family situation that I’ve been dealing with is now looking extremely positive, which means regular service should resume from here on out.

One of the most frustrating parts of having ADHD is the not knowing! Ok, hear me out, our brain has so many connections then it can see lots of different possible outcomes. I’ve talked about this before in terms of watching a movie, but I don’t think I’ve never talked about it in the context of bigger more pressing things. I’ve been dealing with a […]

Spring is well and truly here in the UK, which means lighter morning and that I feel like a brand new me. Every March I suddenly emerge from a cocoon of darkness to feeling motivated, happy and like I’ve been given a new lease of life. The reason for this? My seasonal affective disorder is gradually fading. For those of you who haven’t heard of […]

You know those moments in life where you look around and think this is….this is what it was all for…this is where it was all leading?

So, my last post was kind of dramatic, but I’ll be totally honest and admit I was heading for a breakdown. Anyway, I’m in a slightly better place now and life carries on doesn’t it? I suppose that’s annoying and reassuring in equal measure. That the world pays no attention to you when you are struggling, but also that despite the fact you feel like […]

This article may come some way too explaining why I have posted as frequently lately too. So lately I’ve been going through a rather tough time. Some stuff has come up from my past connected to my present, and I’ve realised that I’d probably benefit from some counselling. I mean aside from having ADHD which means my brain keeps whirling at an ultra fast level, […]

So one of the things that’s never really talked about as much in term of ADHD, especially adult ADHD, is how difficult it is to manage the emotional side of it. Mentally our brains operate on a faster speed than most people and that can be exhausting in itself, but then when you add in things like a significant event, time of the month and […]

Ok, here it is a confession! I’ve reached the age where technology has exceeded my tech knowledge and it is for this reason that I haven’t yet managed to get the video done. Another reason is that my life is quite chaotic right now, with the children going back to school and trying to regain a sense of routine why juggling other things has proved […]
