Self-diagnosis Breakdown

Last week a friend posted an article on Facebook entitled The lost girls: ‘Chaotic and curious, women with ADHD all have missed red flags that haunt us. The byline drew me in: “After multiple burnouts in my early 30s I finally knew why life sometimes felt harder for me.”

That one sentence really hit home. I know all too well what multiple burnouts feels like and, although I wouldn’t admit this out loud, it does feel like things are harder for me sometimes. I clicked on the article and, upon seeing its length, saved it to my Pocket. Pocket is my virtual graveyard for content, where articles I intend to read go to die. What I love most about it is the organizational element – I poured hours into creating a tight-knit system of tags and folders and now, whenever I come across something related to my areas of interest, I tag it and send it to purgatory in well-organized fashion.
