Before my ADHD diagnosis, I felt like I was failing.

Failing at Motherhood, Failing at Adulting...heck, Failing at Life! The realisation that I had a disability that explained my struggles 🤯 I wasn't lazy, this wasn't a choice, it blew my mind and gave me some relief ❤️ But the years of brainwashing, criticism and anxiety has been hard to undo, even knowing everything I believed about myself before was a lie! Over the last 2.5 years I have taught myself through trial and error, to shake off that old programming and rebuild my self confidence to a point where I am actually free to grow and enjoy life without shame and negative thoughts holding me back. I want to share my strategies with you 🥰

Recent studies have shown low self esteem and negative self talk are much higher in those of us with ADHD than our neurotypical peers (especially for late diagnosed women) and that's why WE NEED TO KEEP TALKING about this. So those early in their journey know they are not alone.
