Raising awareness of all things ADHD!
As I sit here on a bench with a view of the old Quarry Bank Mill with Elvis (my pug dog) by my side, I can’t help feeling like life should be filled with more moments like this. No expectations, no tasks with several ways they could go wrong! Just free of the pressure of ADHD, but then is it really our ADHD that causes […]

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!

This means we’ve had to pack up our house and […]

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 […]

I don’t know about other ADHDers, but I get a really weird urge to clean at random times once in a blue moon, which is really weird considering most to the time I border on being a slob.
