My new me


This is me Id like to reintroduce myself firstly Im 36 and i have been diagnosed with adhd It doesnt define you, i hear them say But how can it not ? The struggles ive had and there have been alot Its a funny thing u may or may not agree Its been there this whole time how didn't i see So overwhelming and scary its true Yet so powerful, colourful its a gift i can assure you They say my brains wired differently which means i don't process things quite as quickly But its ok, it is,i just ask for your patience, It could take me a while, its true but i have the ability to get up and go and see it through Learning who you really are at 36 is no joke, im a mother, a daughter, a sister a friend Im still me i suppose but i need some help along this new road Im turning this new me into a positive so dont worry, they use words like hyperactivie, impulsive, distracted im not sure people understand fully It has some down sides yes and im still learning to manage the rest It wont happen over night even if my adhd puts up a fight Waiting isnt our strong point as im sure everyone of you have seen I have no sense of time its like i am moving through a dream Its not my fault even i want to scream Im working on it all i promise youll see i jus ask for your kindness and understanding please So this is my new me a proud 36 year old woman with adhd
