When you grow up with undiagnosed ADHD there are so many stories that impact how you feel about yourself, the way you show up in the world and the way your presentations are viewed by others.
Just because I had an ADHD diagnosis, didn’t mean that those narratives stopped playing, or that I could really show up in the ways I wanted to in my life. I tried to look for others like me so I could learn their stories and see what they did in order to reach their potential, only I couldn’t find many stories like mine. Unravelling the narrative doesn’t happen over night and is always ongoing, but there are few places I started in order to tackle this.
What I did to learn or grow:
Asking myself some big questions
Environmental factors
Triggers
Looking for evidence
Societal Impact
Finding myself in other stories
Takeaway tips:
- Get more info about yourself & the person you want to be
- Follow people who’s stories resonate with you (on Instagram)
