My Online Brain Dump

Riding the rollercoaster of doing "enough", gremlin girls, and being perceived online.

A quick brain dump of everything on my mind lately, in particular the question, what if we (ADHD adults) stopped measuring ourselves against a neurotypical standard? What if we allowed life to be easier, softer, and slower?

Expectations can be suffocating, especially when they’re our own.

For years, I’ve worked on my internalised ableism; the nagging little voice in my mind that demands I try harder, work for longer, and ignore my needs to prove that I am doing “enough”. A constant pressure to reach extremely high (and often unrealistic) standards in regard to working hours, effort, motivation, focus, and commitment…

Sound familiar?
