ADHD Creative life coaching

So today was diagnosed with Subclinical Hypothyroidism 😬

Both a blessing and a curse!

Obviously it's not great being told that you have a life long condition that will require medication FOREVER, to keep you functioning, but, I'm so happy that we finally know what the hell is going on & that hopefully I'll be back to my old self really soon 💥💪🏾

Meds start tomorrow morning.

Let's see what these bad boys will do 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

So, 2 years ago to the day, I was graduating my MA in Special Educational Needs and Disability!

My brothers and an auntie and uncle were by my side for support, as I'd only just lost my dad 3 months before hand and my mum 15 months before that.

I remember at one point telling my eldest brother that I didn't even want to go because they (mum and dad) wouldn't be there - he said 'well, they're not gonna be at anything else moving forward, what are you going to do, just never celebrate anything ever again'? Clearly he was right (don't tell him I said that 🤣) but the truth is, life goes on - no matter how much you may not want it to, without the people you love the most.

We NEVER get over loss, but we do move forward with it ❤️

I still have really bad days. Days were I especially just want to speak to my mum, who was my best friend, and my dad that used to drive me up the wall with his funny little ways 🤣 The realisation of knowing that no one will ever have my back like them ever again, is a lot to take!

Over the last 3 ish years, sometimes I've not known whether I'm coming or going, but then I have times where I'm super focused, on the ball and really productive. I've learnt that it's OK to be both. It's OK to just be. Loss & grief are experienced by us all so very uniquely & that's ok ❤️

Some days I just want to give up & sometimes I do, but I have a 100% survival rate, cos I'm still here 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 & that's something to be proud of!!!

I shall be following my own advice once I've won the Lotto 🤣

8 years ago!!!!!

So much has happened in that time.

Lot's of travel, new friendships, a couple of jobs, a Masters degree, new career, new business ventures, losing both of my parents, many life changes and, somehow, I'm still standing 😁 although I'm absolutely, bloody knackered 💤💤💤
