So turns out… I have ADHD

Hey Girl,

As you can see from the headline…. I have ADHD. In all actuality I have anxiety and ADHD. I know big deal….who doesn’t have anxious thoughts in todays climate. But here I am, I have both and it was freeing to know it and to finally understand myself.

My mental health journey started a few years back. It wasn’t until I had a panic attack with my second born while driving that made me start taking my mental health seriously. I saw a doctor and was diagnosed with anxiety. The shame I felt with this diagnosis was huge. Now I know that it was entirely crazy to feel any type of shame about my mental health issues. Truthfully, how does everyone NOT have anxiety? How?

Here I am, years later, still struggling immensely with symptoms such as lack of focus and so many more. So I made it my mission to get to the root of it. I started to go to therapy and pretty quickly after I was diagnosed with ADH, marking all indicators.Let me tell you something, a diagnosis, in my case, was life-changing. I am starting to understand my thinking patterns and my way of doing things.

I, now have the freedom of researching my own behavior and understanding things I used to think are WRONG with me. The first thing I have learned is that there’s nothing wrong with me!

Instagram has certainly opened up a new world of people I can relate to. ADHD content creators. It is comforting to know that I am not alone and neither are you! If you feel like something is off do not hesitate to reach out to professionals. Mental health care is health care babe.
So if you are interested, come on this ride with me where I am attempting to figure out what life is like for me dealing with anxiety and ADHD.

Frankly Julie
