From one day to the next. Living with ADHD…..not a trend… but a REALITY 🤍
For most people big life events come with a high and then a gentle return to normal. After my 50th birthday I noticed it again that sudden drop after the excitement and the last few days have been hard!
The build-up, the joy, the connection… followed by a huge crash. For years, I thought it was anxiety and depression. I couldn’t understand why after something so positive I would feel so low and to be honest neither could my family or friends. Now I do understand it better……It’s the dopamine and the intensity that I experience even the little things. The way my brain rides the wave of big moments and then really struggles when it’s over.
But instead of fighting it or judging myself I’m learning to meet it with more awareness and compassion.
🤍I am allowing myself the space.
🤍I am acknowledging the shift.
🤍I am being gentle with me.
I understand now that it’s just my brain recalibrating after something big…..and thats okay!
I have set up a group for women with ADHD and those of us who are navigating our way through the menopause. If this is of interest to you please click the link below. It would be great to see you in the group.
