The brutally honest story of burning out with ADHD.
I put on my red blazer, apply my matching red lipstick and force myself into high heels I really can’t walk on but I look fierce, so it doesn’t matter.
How the ADHD Thought Train always makes me say ‘yes’ at work.
I’m on the train back from work. A co-worker calls me with a work-related question. This is what happens:
ADHD, dopamine levels & insane food cravings
It probably won’t come as a surprise to many of you who face the reality of living with AD(H)D every day that our brain lives with a chronic shortage of dopamine. I always knew I had a dopamine deficit but I never fully realised the impact it had on my entire wellbeing. Until last summer, when I started therapy for my binge eating disorder.
My very ADHD brain. The first time sharing my story.
This is probably one of the most difficult posts I’ve ever written because I’ve been covering up the fact I have ADHD for quite some while now.
Why? Because I was afraid that a current or future employer, partner or business contact would rather deal with someone who’s neurotypical than neurodiverse. Something I now know not to be true.
