I've always known my brain works a little differently but I've just never really known why.
There are things I've struggled with for years that I've learnt to work around, hide, push through or blame myself for.
But the more I've learnt about myself, the more I've started to wonder if there's more to it
So I've decided I want to find out 🩷
I am going to get an assessment. I have already done a mini one but going to do a further one
I don't know where that will lead yet, and I don't want to say that I exactly what I think it is before I know for sure (self diagnosis is absolutely valid, but because I am documenting this whole thing & potentially giving advice etc going forwards, I just want to be absolutely sure)
But I do want to talk about it. Partly because I think there's still so much stigma around neurodivergence.
Some people want that answer, some people don't want or need a label at all.
Neither is right or wrong.
What is wrong is when people are nasty, judgemental, dismissive, ignorant, and drag people down saying horrible things, all of which can put people off from getting help they deserve.
And for me, I think understanding my own brain better could help me make sense of a lot of things, and that includes how I run my business and also how I show up online.
And because I already work with so many incredible people in the mental health, wellbeing and neurodivergent spaces, maybe this will allow me to connect even deeper with the work I do for my clients.
It feels quite vulnerable sharing this when I don't have the answers yet. But I think that's exactly why it is important for me to do it 🩷
So this is Figuring Out My Brain: Part 1 ðŸ§
