Cherish Healing

I have pmdd. An abnormal reaction to normally occurring hormones. On top of the adhd it makes life... interesting.

In fact, I only sort my neurodiverse diagnosis after participating in .pmdd.collective group therapy course. It was mentioned that there are a high percentage of women with pmdd who also have adhd

The diagnosis helped me understand myself better. And more importantly be kinder to myself.

Im crafting this piece for my children. Hopefully I'll finish it before there are grown adults!

I pick it up and put down frequently.

We on an up and i step into ny luteal phase.

Happy mothers day time all people who care for others.

It was a real slog my journey to bring a parent. Plagued with poor mental health with post natal depression and not bring able to bond with my daughter was just the start.

Thanks to the charities and I was able to start healing, and by standing side by side other mothers who were finding thing very tough,collectively I managed to find strength in myself.

Having come through these times, I have really tried to elevate mothers day in my household, to the status of an important birthday.

Ive heard in other cultures international women day is a bigger deal. I think I may add the festivities to our families calendar too!

A time to take stock, be looked after and receive love ( and cake)

Pottery is hard...follow my journey from frustration to finally enjoying myself as I poked away at a chunk of clay for texture/stress relief..

Pottery is hard... but I got to enjoy myself at the end thankfully.

I started an all levels pottery course this January .participation.team with a very experienced and knowledgeable tutor, and some great women to sit side by side with to chat, connect and create.

Doing something that is nothing to do with work, the mental load of domesticity or caring for children.

A creative activity, exclusively for me to learn and play.

Life skills I tell my children.

Remembering to play.

Joy from my work comes frequently. But I'm trying to create and cultivate that feeling in as many places in my life as possible. My shield against this dark, bonkers world.

I feel very privileged to have the chance to do this, but also recognising how focused I am on looking after myself better. Nobody is going to do it for me.

So today involved a hot yoga class, then a trip to the city to do an improvisation class with the company .

The class was a mind-blowing mixture of play, voice work and creative games which were brilliant to be a part of.

It's was pver an hour to reach them but worth it. On my mission to hunt down what fills my cup.

This is my starting point for exploring pmdd through art. Pre menstrual dysphoric disorder is a real killer. My diagnosis in my 40s after children shone a light on how sensitive I am to naturally occuding hormones.

Thankfully the .pmdd.collective
Helped me find a trusting cohort of women experiencing the same illness.

Its getting worse each month, so im looking at new ways to manage alongside therapy, Hrt, vitamins and more..

This year I've been reminding myself of helpful habits( not 'good habbits'-sacking off being moralisticly damning about myself - where possible- language matters) like keeping my book next to my bed as my relax mechanism to divert my swirly active mind at night.

Not only that, the book club that I'm part of contains the most wonderful, funny, smart, brilliant beautiful women. So win win 🏆

Fun times out out (at a daytimer) but still...
