Long time no post (a neurospicy update). A mixture of debating posting, not knowing what to post, not wanting to post or deciding to find something to post... Only to then search for said thing to post, changing apps multiple times to decide on what the post should endure before being put to the world... Only to then get distracted as I changed apps atleast 5 times by this point, that i lose any connection to the task at hand because i saw something else that took my fancy and then BOOM, no post. (This situation plays out atleast once every few weeks?) Hi, I got officially diagnosed with ADHD earlier this year and that is one of the very tiny things that my brain does that makes me scream into the void when I realise I've done it. I have wondered whether it's a good idea to share this diagnosis with a "larger crowd", mainly due to certain reactions I have had, mainly good, alot of "shit, yeah, that makes sense" but some reactions have been questionable at best. The past few months have been alot of me attempting to come to terms with this new found knowledge and honestly I am a long way from accepting those terms as truth, and fact. I am incredibly lucky to have some exceedingly supportive people around me that have given me space and time to work things out, listened when I needed it most and been so very patient with me as I try to navigate this new reality of understanding myself. So a BiG thank you to my parents and my partner Jon cause DaMN you guys have been wonderful. Plus big up the NHS who after a long wait (but not as long as so many) were so thorough with the entire process, not to mention so very kind, helpful and supportive. Also here's to Bobby, for being adorable.
