I want to go back to being adventurous, I mean I used to be terribly adventurous, doing things without the thought of any consequences.

What is that you do when you get overwhelmed, and life gets just that little bit too much?

Recently, I would message my sister with who, just a few years ago, I had no contact with over a 10-year period. Crazy thinking about it.

A major issue is that we live about 700 miles apart; me in England and she lives with her husband in Germany.

I would ask her if I can come and visit as I have hit rock bottom, yet early enough for any dark thoughts to creep in. Asking for help used to be quite a challenge.

A very common aspect with ADHDers, that I have heard being shared over and over again is that by the age of 10 a child would have heard 20k more negative comments compared to a neurotypical child.

Therapy and coaching is all about breaking down individual’s walls and beliefs?!

Unfortunately, it is not like in the movies, where I can call my therapist any time I want, when I am struggling. In reality, coaching and therapy that I have had over the last few years now, have equipped me with becoming better at breaking down that wall by myself…

After experiencing failure after failure, the only chance for success was letting go and rediscover myself on a challenging mental health journey.
