Blog posts Tag. – ADHD – Attention Deficit Hyper Disorder
Ever had one of those days where you wake up and you feel nothing? No happiness? No sadness….you just are going along with whatever life throws at you but without the complication of feeling anything. It’s almost like you’ve took antidepressants, but you can’t remember taking them, It almost sounds pretty good, right? Well I can’t stand days like that! I’m having one of those […]

In my role, it’s obviously very important I keep up to date with all the latest on ADHD. Lately most of it has been focused around the ADHD medication shortage, or information about ADHD that most of us have known for years, for example, does diet affect ADHD or vice versa? Well yeah!! However, recently I’ve seen two pieces of research that link to ADHD […]

Today I saw an article about a person who said that her ADHD prevents her from being employed. At first I was like I don’t like how she is using her ADHD as a reason, but then I caught myself and reminded myself not to buy into the stereotype of it’s only an excuse etc. I also remembered that when I was much younger, about […]

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 […]

Well we’re now in mid-January and those of us with ADHD or raising ADHDers are not well aware of the medication shortage and feeling it’s effects. It’s becoming near impossible to physically get hold of ADHD medication in pharmacies nationwide and the main supplier of ADHD medication has said this issue will continue until April of 2024. It’s like us ADHDers are stuck in a […]

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 […]

There is a new graze going round in the ADHD community, which is called body doubling. At first, I was like what the heck is that it sounds rather interesting, but when I find out what it actually is, I thought does that really work? Is it a good idea long term? Body doubling is where a person with ADHD has another person around so […]
