Work and productivity as Trauma Survivors
I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this topic. Here are a couple of questions to consider:
What are some of the unique strengths and perspectives that you bring to your professional life as a trauma survivor? How can you leverage those qualities to build resilience and achieve your goals?
Imagine a world where every workplace was truly trauma-informed and supportive of survivors' needs. What would that look like, and how would it impact your own career journey?#Trauma #Neurodiversity #Career #MentalHealth

How’s everyone’s Monday? I’m taking a stay-cation this week, I decided before I go back to writing my book. I decided this week to do an ACT course to learn about myself. What’s something you can do (big or small) for your mental health this week? #ADHD #Neurodiversity #Anxiety #Addiction #MentalHealth #AddictionRecovery

What’s the best mental health advice you’ve ever gotten that motivates you in your mental health journey? Mine is before you help others you need to help yourself and also we’re more than our challenges and diagnosis. #ADHD #ADHDInGirls #MentalHealth #Depression #Motivation #AddictionRecovery #Neurodiversity

What’s something you’ve done this week your of accomplishing? Or what’s something your most proud of overcoming in your mental health journey?
My win was better recognizing when my anxiety is intensifying and groundhog myself and not being as hard on myself when for feeling anxious. My biggest accomplishment is not letting the misinformed, stigmatized views of others dictate how I relate to my mental health journey.

Hurricane
The days are like a hurricane,
The needs of all my people
Circling wildly around me,
Loud and demanding,
Determined, unceasing.
I am tossed and blown,
At the mercy of the shouting winds,
The beckoning howls,
The deluge of their cries
Soaking me to the core.
I'm a wet rage.
Ring me out;
You will find
Joy
Pain
Desperation
Hope
Fear, and
Despair.
Suddenly, the howling quiets,
The torrents calm,
And all is still.
I can breathe here in the eye,
The quiet evenings,
The peaceful times,
When all routines are satisfies
And snuggly hugs soothe weary eyes.
Here in the eye,
It's love I feel,
A quieted soul,
A grateful heart.
Renewed,
I step back out
Into the storm,
Refreshed, restored,
And re-armed,
To strive and fight
For those I love,
Knowing deep down
My arms'll never be enough.
But His love
So real, steady, and true
Has won this battle
Long ago.
He's gone before,
And goes with me now.
Sought or not,
He beckons me
To let Him carry me again,
In the storm,
As in the eye,
And forward on,
once this, too, has passed.

Do I need a diagnosis?
I'm getting more and more people noticing that I seem to have some form of neurodivergence, unsure if it's ADHD or autism - my suspicion is that if anything it's dyspraxia. But I've not had a formal diagnosis and while I'm struggling at the moment I don't know if getting a label for what's going on will help so I'm wondering if anyone had any experience of getting a diagnosis as an adult, in what way did that help and what was the process like? Or, if you've not gone down that route, how was that? #Neurodiversity #Dyspraxia

Embracing Self-Compassion: Navigating Neurodiversity and Growth in our ADHD journeys
Our inner voice, often harsh and unforgiving, can magnify feelings of inadequacy and failure, especially in a world that doesn’t always accommodate neurodiversity. By practicing self-compassion, these individuals can transform their relationship with themselves, viewing mistakes and challenges as opportunities for growth rather than evidence of insufficiency.
By taking a kinder approach to our self-dialogue we are fostering stills like resilience, and empowering ourselves to see that, even though we’re still going through challenging moments, we had the strength and the ability to defined those moments, even though we may not do a perfectly we still can do it. And even though this article is based on ADHD challenges, because it isn’t about being perfect it’s about having the skills in the clarity get through the different challenges life throws at us.

Self-Care, Compassion and Adult ADHD - TotallyADD
My inner critic at times gets very loud and overwhelming. Sound familiar? This makes any form of self-compassion or self-care seem impossible, especially when it relates to things I find challenging, or certain things related to my past experiences, and my Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder diagnosis.
