Introduction
I am a 58 year old late diagnosed woman who has been treated for depression and anxiety for more than 20 years even though I kept telling them I wasn't depressed or anxious. AND the meds they tried to give me weren't helping AND the therapy helped until I quickly learned and applied (in true ADHD fashion) all the habits and protocols and so therapy had nothing else to offer me except a safe place to vent and talk through my struggles, but not with anyone who really understood them. But I still didn't feel good and kept being told things I already knew and had either tried or put into place already. No one ever suggested ADHD.
Then my younger brother got diagnosed at 42 and I decided to look into it myself just like every other struggle I have ever faced. I recognized I had so many symptoms and struggles my entire life that ADHD explained and made sense for me. I wasn't ready to try meds due to my previous experience with meds and throw in menopause which messes with meds on top of everything else.
My awakening assessment didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know BUT it gave me language to articulate it, express it and it validated so much.
I still don't feel great and clear on my path but that is why I am here to help me get there.
I have found my passion that aligns with me but I haven't figured out a way to monetize it. I burnt out a year ago trying to make an online business with it and I learned more than I ever wanted to know about online marketing and social media, made a lot of progress, got plenty of interest and created a lot of assets that I can still use, but I never made any money AND I ran out of credit and ended up in debt in addition to burning out. So I am still recovering from that but I have made progress there too and am now looking for the opportunity that won't burn me out and aligns with ME.
