In July 2023 I was given the results of a private ADHD assessment. This process first began at the age of 26, when I was referred to a mental health clinic and first began to struggle with depression and anxiety. As a kid, I struggled with inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity that affected my ability to manage life. Gymnastics, almost instantly changed my trajectory and had a massively positive impact on how I interacted with the world around me. After retirement, the amount of physical exercise I was engaging in each week was reduced by 90%. This drastic change really affected me. And this is my story.
