8) Dearest Diamond, "Where have you been?"
from Dearest Diamond (A Diamond's Memoir) · host Diamond Patrick-Udoh
It's been six(6) very long weeks. Six(6) weeks of being paralyzed, of dealing with what I now understand as Mental paralysis. I don’t want to call it ADHD (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) because that’s more broad but, it’s very closely related. I have felt this way for the longest and it definitely feels good to finally understand that it’s not a spiritual problem. 😂 On a more serious note, it leaves you feeling drained and exhausted and anxious and worried and overwhelmed all at once. I needed to move, to get things done but I just couldn’t . Initially, I worried for the longest time and would hate myself for it because I didn't understand but, now I know better. I now know that there are ways to deal with it. In episode 8, “Dearest Diamond, where have you been?” , I talk about my struggling with the feeling of being somewhat paralyzed for the past 6weeks , being involved in two serious motor accidents within this time, dealing with Nigeria and other things that really tried to get me down and the steps I took in recovering. I came out stronger! If you struggle with this, I understand. You are not abnormal, you just need to learn how to deal and how to never let Mental paralysis/ADHD keep you down for too long.
