In this episode, Antoinette shares moments of her life that revealed to her that she was only existing in life until she decided that the abusive relationship she was in had to end and then a cataclysm of events lead to her moving as well as coming to the realisation that her constant internal struggles to stay focussed and failure to achieve in life was due to being undiagnosed until later on as an adult with inattentive ADHD. She shares her struggles that she has had and what impact it has had on her as well as even the struggle to get diagnosed.
