Breaking Past Demons. The Saga Continues
ADHD Diagnosis
Confession time.
I was diagnosed with ADHD as of Wednesday 1/31/25.
So, what does this new chapter of my life look like?
I have no clue.
I know that my life is filled with too much multi-tasking.
I know my life is filled with noise, constantly something playing in the background while my thoughts run me ragged.
It’s my clicking pen, while my foot taps uncontrollably, and I stare at a screen with thirty tabs open at one time.
What does this mean for me?
I talked it over with my therapist today.
Maybe it’s time for me to focus,
It sounds so cliché.
It’s time for a new journey as I continue on this trail of discovery and self-awareness.
It’s relieving to know that I’m not alone.
It’s good to know that there are people in my life willing to support me no matter what the circumstances.
And it’s going to be okay.
This is just another page in my book of life.
Another chapter to be written and discussed.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

As another recently diagnosed, I share the feelings. You're gonna figure it out, in all likelyhood you already did in some capacity. Cheers to that
<3 It's hard to stay focused with that many tabs open, boy don't I know <3
