The very thing they're trying to get me to stop, which is those negative thoughts, just seemed to be even worse. Because I'm like, oh, you know, if I'd have known sooner or if I was different or...

if I was better but at the same time I'm trying not to do it and then there was another thing like oh when you do exercise make sure it's different exercises and have variety and like try different things oh but make sure you do this consistently and have structure and scaffolding and it's like my brain's just like oh I can't be bothered

maybe I just won't do any of it and then I'm like oh but that's that's ADHD as well and so I'm just I'm just feeling a little bit nervous about being able to be better and I think I'm a bit nervous as well about because my husband's here like yeah like getting home and and him being like You know, the story we heard the first day of, oh, now you know all this.

Now you can pick your clothes up off the floor. And it's like, no, that's not how it works. That's not how it works at all. I try not to beat myself up too much. That's the best I can hope for. I'm not going to go home and clean my whole house. Well, I might, but I'm not going to do it forever. I'm still going to be me. I'm still going to be a little bit crap at everything.

But maybe I just won't be so hard on myself about it.

Also, it's like... As much as I don't want to do anything to kind of make myself better, at the same time, I'm like, I'm doing loads and I've got a label and a diagnosis, but everyone else is like, everyone else really annoys me. And I don't think that's because of my ADHD. I think other people are annoying. They just haven't got a label.

So it's like, why do I have to take the rap for everything? Just because there's a smaller percentage of people with ADHD in the world doesn't mean we're the only ones that are messing up and being annoying.

We're often told that, like, the good part about ADHD is, like, the creativity and the out-the-box thinking and all the good stuff that we can do and the energy and the, like, the reflection and stuff. So, you know, if we're that good, why can't we, like, be more supported? Like, why aren't we given more of a space to, like, go about on the floor if we want to, you know?

I think I have some anger already, which just kind of plays into it, just like being a woman in the world already. I'm always already a bit annoyed about the way women are treated. So now being a woman and having ADHD, it's like this double whammy of like being annoyed about the way the world is, right?
