I was on a roll, then I wasn’t. You are probably wondering what happened, or maybe you’re not; regardless, I will share. Sorry, this is a process, and I need to strike a balance, but I also need to be consistent and not get distracted by the newest shiny object. Otherwise, I fall into the trap of taking…

This is not related, but also related to everything. They say our life experiences make us who we are, so I guess it’s very related. I have an axe to grind, and I need to vent. I have an issue with real-life experiences that negatively impact the lives of people being ignored until a celebrity suffers from…

Mindblown… I was thinking that in 2021, I had a three-year undergraduate degree from 1998. Now, just over four years later, I upgraded to a four-year honours undergraduate degree, I have a Master’s, and I am in the process of working to get a PhD. Who am I? If you had told me in 1998, with my…

Unsure what has gotten into me but, I am three for three…kinda freaking myself out to be honest. This is a whole other issue that drives me crazy. Maybe it’s my sensitivity dysmorphia or the chip on my shoulder from years of struggle, not just for myself but for those like me. Who are you? What…

My disillusioned brain feels like I am on a streak… two posts in two days…lol. We surround ourselves with people we believe share the same values as us. I can say that the feedback I received from the post was incredible. Thank you to those who conveyed the message that I can do this. It has…

Ok, I have decided to make this a thing. I know you are thinking what thing? This thing… I write, then I don’t, then I do. I make promises to write more often, but then I don’t follow through. The unpredictability of my current situation causes me such anxiety. I want to be consistent with this blog.…

I respectfully ask that you do not tell me you know how I feel or how I am feeling because you have no clue. It is just an insult. It would be like me claiming that just because I have ADHD, I know how other individuals with ADHD feel. I DO NOT! I may have an idea but…

In limbo or at a crossroads, or with too much downtime. It is all the same in my ADHD brain. I’m trying to define what I’m feeling right now. I have no definitive plan, and a lot of empty time, which freaks me out. It creates big emotions of feeling overwhelmed due to the lack of predictability and…

A day in the life of my ADHD Contradictions. I feel like these are aspects of ADHD that nobody can understand unless they are diagnosed. Contradictions, the dictionary defines it as a situation or ideas in opposition to one another; I feel this is the best way to describe ADHD. This is probably why I am skeptical…

As I revisit my first op-ed, a piece that never saw the light of day, I am reminded of the issue’s urgency. It was born out of frustration, a feeling of being unheard in my arguments with the school board about the elephant in the room. The lack of support for students, particularly the failure…
Random Acts of ADHD: ADHD is not what you do but who you are
