What’s up gang!
To make a long story short, about a year ago at the tender age of 26 years old, I realized I had ADHD! At first, I was devastated. Finding out you have ADHD in your late twenties is a concoction of emotions; relief, shock, sadness, frustration, confusion- everything! But I realized, at least I can work with my ADHD now and stop going through life unaware of my unique brain wiring.
By sharing my story, I hope to build a community of all the amazing neurodivergent beauties out there just like me. Having ADHD in a world full of neurotypicals is really isolating and discouraging, but that can change. A lot of the time I feel like the only person feeling the way I do, but I know there are women out there feeling the same way. ADHD in women is not discussed enough, and I want to provide the information that I would have benefited from back when I was struggling and unaware of my ADHD.
In this blog, I want to dive deep into my discovery of having ADHD, what I was like before I learned that I had it, and what has changed now that I am living my best ADHD life. By being transparent and vulnerable about what it’s like growing up as a neurodivergent woman without having a CLUE about it, I hope to help and make the ADHD girlies feel seen. I also want to show society that there is nothing wrong with being neurodivergent, we are simply different, not incapable, lazy, stupid, etc. ADHD in men has been accepted and understood by society, but women have had it differently, and it’s time we change that!
I’m excited to start sharing my story and build a community that uplifts and strengthens neurodivergent women. Thanks for tuning in!
Until next time,
Brooke
