Day 12: A Year Facing Fear. My secret shame and late ADHD diagnosis.

I have a secret.
It’s something that I’ve carried a lot of shame about.
I’ve had an issue completing personal projects for as long as I can remember. So much so that I was nick-named Half A because I’d do half of this and half of that.
I’ve spent most of my life being the butt of other people’s jokes because of it, but to me it wasn’t funny. 🥺
For a long time, I felt deeply ashamed about my inability to get certain things done, and that shame caused me to hide.
I’d avoid inviting friends over because my home was constantly in a state of “renovation,” with a whole heap of jobs I had yet to finish.
I couldn’t understand how I could succeed in some of my life but struggle with things others found so easy.
Last year, I received the clarity that I’d been searching for my entire life, and today I’m finally ready to accept, share, and let go of the judgment and shame that I’ve felt for so long.
It’s Day 12 of a Year Facing Fear, and I’m ready to look fear in the eye and do it anyway.
If you want to join me on this journey, you can follow along or join the A Year Facing Fear Facebook Group.
Until I see you again, my friend. I see you. I believe in you, and you have absolutely got this.
Let’s do this together!
Love, Katia
