Addiction

Take a moment today to be proud for how far you have come. ⭐ I'm very, very proud of each of you for being here and for pushing through the hard days, for showing up when you don't want to, and for staying.

As always, take what's helpful and leave what isn't. But I thought this one was worth a share.

This one's for my People Pleasers, but all of us could learn something from this, I think!

“A Diagnosis Isn’t an Explanation” is a personal exploration of mental illness, identity, addiction, perception and the struggle to understand oneself.

Drawing on lived experience, the book examines the difference between receiving a diagnosis and truly understanding the person living with it. It explores the internal battles that can remain invisible to others, the misunderstandings that arise when behaviour is viewed without context, and the ongoing search for an explanation that goes beyond a medical label.

This is not a clinical textbook or a polished account written with the benefit of perfect hindsight. It is an honest, sometimes uncomfortable expression of one person’s experiences and attempts to make sense of them.

The writing is presented largely as it emerged, preserving its imperfections and individuality rather than reshaping it to meet conventional expectations.

Ultimately, this book is about being human behind the diagnosis, questioning what we think we understand about ourselves and others, and recognising that naming a condition is not the same as understanding a person.
