16: my late diagnosis ADHD story | navigating adult ADHD holistically | do you have ADHD?

This week I’m sharing the story of how I became diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. ADHD in women looks much different than ADHD in a hyperactive young boy so sometimes moms are shocked to hear that ADHD might be the actual root of their anxiety or depression. Most women are misdiagnosed before getting an ADHD diagnosis. I used to run around on stress hormones, constantly late to everything. I couldn’t manage any schedules and I constantly forgot stuff. While I’m still far from figuring all of this out, I have come a long way. My main mission in sharing my story is to connect with you through it. My hope and prayer is that at the very least, this story will make you feel seen. Feeling like your brain is broken is isolating and depressing. I want you to know you’re not alone. There are tons of things we can do to help you learn to work with your neurodivergent brain and also heal some of the symptoms you’re dealing with. If you want small, tactile wins, come hang out on ig with me. My page is full of strategies, hacks, perspective shifts, self-compassion, and God’s grace. You’re not broken <3 Find Cheska on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/createdbycheska/
