Come say hi 👋 👉 https://app.adhdharmony.com/community This is just the start 💛

Okay everyone, I am so extremely excited. This week I've gained so much insight and so many new ideas, and I think I really found something that is going to change ADHD Harmony and my AI Twin in the best possible way. This is going to be the biggest update since I started this community, and I'm sooooo hyped about this. I will be sharing some updates here over the next coming days, so stay in touch. We're cooking!! 💛

I’ve just finished the Emotional Mastery Worksheet in the six-week programme, and one thing really jumped out at me. There’s a particular cluster of emotions and situations that seem to hit a very deep nerve for me — shame, guilt, feeling unheard, being scolded, or feeling like I’m being judged as not enough, too much, inconsistent, messy, lazy, indecisive or someone who never finishes anything. And my brain's response? I want to be Alice in Wonderland. Drink the bottle. Make myself small. Disappear. Become invisible. That really made me stop and think about masking. Because maybe masking isn't always about trying to appear “normal” or hiding ADHD traits in a social situation. Maybe sometimes it's also about making ourselves smaller when we think the version of us that is showing up isn't acceptable. Hide the unfinished projects. Hide the mess. Hide the indecision. Hide the inconsistency. Hide the things we struggle with. And perhaps, over time, you get pretty bloody good at hiding the bits of yourself you think other people won't accept. The interesting bit for me is that I don't think I've ever consciously thought, “I'm masking right now.” It feels much more like: make yourself smaller, stay quiet, don't draw attention, don't give anyone another reason to think you're too much or not enough. That little Alice analogy has given me something new to notice in myself. Anyone else had one of those moments where an ADHD exercise unexpectedly shines a light on something that's been sitting there for years?

My Skool profile says I had no activity for today. It’s 8:40 pm. The days not over. I have 8 for tomorrow already, which hasn’t begun. And now we’re back to day 1. That sucks after all that work. Now I don’t feel like trying. Too much work now.
