Missleadingly ADHD

I love how creative we can be to build habits for ourselves! A fellow ADHD-er created this Twitch account to journal and do watercolours. Is daily journaling a habit you want to get into? Check her out :) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/946368717

For anyone that needs to hear this today! <3

It’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to take a day off because you need some space to take care of yourself. It’s okay, ladybug

Today is Bell Let’s Talk Day! Let’s Talk About Mental Health. Anxiety played a very big role in my life for as long as I can remember. Anxiety was treated like a freckle that I suddenly had when I entered high school. It was ignored. The kicker was that for the longest time I didn’t know that ADHD was hanging out with me too. I thought that all of my ADHD symptoms were Alyssa problems and I thought that I was somehow less then because of my undiagnosed ADHD symptoms. ... The more we talk about mental health, the more awareness there will be to what it looks like and what we can do about it. What’s your story? I’ve shared my story up on my website, you can find the link in my bio - see you there :)

I often forget how powerful metaphors can be. If you read my story today you would know that I am struggling with overwhelm and this bear that I have sketched/created (fight/flight mode). The good thing is that since I have created the bear - I can change him! He is now my care bear.... I’m super curious... how do metaphors help you?
