This is so great ❤. Dr Kustow actually diagnosed my ADHD in 2017. I was diagnosed at 32. I think, for me, the biggest things have been draining the swamp of 20 years of adulthood silage build up before I realised (which I’m still working on), getting the right medication, having friends with ADHD to do life with and (you’re so lucky you don’t have this one), ADHD and the menstrual cycle. Because that is like another can of worms working against you half the time on top of the thing. The sleep issue is massive, that’s also true. My latest favourite item is my lucky iron fish 😂 - you add this to hot water to help with your iron levels and it seems to have no side effects. I’ve been a vegan since 2013 and I don’t think I’ve had any iron in that time 😭😂. As I type the saucepan is overflowing with iron water because I forgot about it to type this 😂 but I feel so much better since I got it (last week 😂). I don’t think ADHD is so much the problem as is having ADHD in modern life. And feeling like there’s something wrong with you as a result. I think I now think the opposite 😂 but there’s 32 years of internalised shame to undo that I would hope the generation following us do not ever have to have.
