The ADHD Diaries : Diagnosis

The first of a many part series around neurodivergence - how I came to find out that I had ADHD at 30. The late diagnosis gave me answers to a lot of seemingly unanswerable questions but added a layer of frustration when thinking in hindsight how great it would have been to know this ten years ago.  Here's a quick rundown of my symptoms and the medical process that I have taken as well as the current medication I use.  The signs included an inability to focus for periods longer than a few minutes, problems with social cues, brain fog all the time, hectic overthinking, sleep dysfunction, lack of ability to regulate emotion, messy - ADHD piling, can't stay on track in a conversation....the list is long and I have covered only a few things in this. If you believe that you might be neurodivergent, I urge you to seek diagnosis from a medical professional.

Why didn't you just report it? Rape and Sexual Assault.

Diving into two news stories that triggered me this week in Danny Masterson, Ashton Kutcher and Dillon Danis and then onto talking about the question 'Why didn't you just report it?' - rape and sexual assault. Please keep in mind that this is a broad issue and this just skims the surface of this particular conversation.

Life Goals

What are your goals? Are they scary enough to push you away from them or pull you towards them? It’s hard as a woman in my 30s to not compare myself to where other women my age are. But my goals are very different and they have been all of my life. So I shouldn’t be comparing and neither should you. It’s your life, in your time.
