These past few days feels like ive got a new lease of life and its probably because we’re finally getting a few sunny days here and there. This means goodbyeee seasomal affective disorder and hello clearer thinking.
That probably explains why ive been totally decluttering my house lately and getting more organised. I feel like i can finally put the pieces of my life back together that got shattered by winter weather, brain fog and a few personal battles. Of course i didnt escape that period unscathered. I’m still licking one or two scars even though they have healed (bad habit i guess?).
“As much as we try and be kind to ourselves, we’ve still got to find that balance between pushing ourselves to do better and accepting where we are is good enough.”
ADHD gIRL
I’ve often said that the worst of my ADHD comes out to play between November- February. This yime it was extended to mid-march. Its hard not to feel like you take a huge knock when youre self-aware enough to know your brain isnt working as it should but you can’t figure out to get it back on track. Some things help like exercise and diet but nothing really clears the brain fog completely.
I try to be kinder to myself at this time of year, but like most people, I hold myself to higher expectations then I expect from other people. That’s because I am in charge of motivating myself, I guess.
Anyway the main thing is, it’s all good from here on in. Well you can never expect life to be good all of the time, even without seasonal affective disorder. Even those without ADHD, don’t have a fun ride all of the time. As I’ve said before, it’s the people around you that make the biggest difference! Now excuse me while I carry on clearning, while I’m still in the mood to do so.
Have a fantastic Easter ADHDers and allies whether you celebrate it, just eat the eggs or dont acknowldge it at all. Everyone chooses to live how they sit fit, just make sure it’s in your best interest.
I’m taking a little break now as me and the family are on holiday next week but I shall be back in two weeks with more crazy mad episodes about my adhd brain.
