Losing My License Was Just the Start… My ADHD Journey

Emotional Content

Show Notes

This is something I’ve never spoken about before… my ADHD journey.

Getting diagnosed as an adult was a game changer for me but it also hit hard. Nobody talks about the grief you go through when you realise how different life could have been if someone had just noticed.

I’m talking about the teachers who failed me, when I got my license suspended and car impounded (lol) and the GP who told me “I definitely had ADHD” in the most hostile way possible.

Plus why my period basically turns my symptoms into a chaotic mess (and how I manage it).

So, if you’ve ever felt like you’re navigating this ADHD by yourself or you’re wondering if it might be what you’re dealing with, this one’s for you. I’ll break down how I finally got diagnosed (and a sneaky hack that saved me months of waiting).

Hi my loves, I’m still on a short break but I couldn’t not bring this episode back to the surface. It’s one of the most honest things I’ve ever shared about my body image, the pressure to shrink, and what really goes on behind the filtered side of the industry.
