I relate to all of this so much! And have only recently realised that my brain's tendency to run at million thoughts a minute (despite appearing quiet on the outside) might have a name. Thanks for naming it and giving it space.
You are welcome here, Mel! I know it can be something of a rollercoaster to make these connections. Whether or not you give it a name is entirely up to you and what feels supportive to you.
Hi Gabrielle, I love this non shouty approach to ADHD 💖 although I’m not diagnosed yet, it’s obvious to me and my family that this is me to a T! I’m also in my mid/late 40’s and only realised this as social media blew up about the symptoms of ADHD. Looking forward to being part of your Substack community 😊
So glad you feel at home, Shelly. And I believe that if you know, you know. You don't need a diagnosis to prove you have ADHD (although you do if you want medication). The sharing of experiences is so important, that's how so many of us have learned about our differently wired brains. There are lots of posts here for you to check out that I think will resonate and if you want to take a closer look at the Quiet ADHD Club you'd be very welcome there too x
Congratulations! What a brilliant idea. 💡
Thanks so much, Toni, I’m excited to finally have it out in the world 😊

Have just hit the subscribe button there too 🙂 and
I completely agree, when you know, you know x
Wonderful, Shelly 😊
Gabrielle, this sounds amazing! Could I join? I’m a little bit off midlife, would it be applicable for me still?
Absolutely, Sophie! Midlife is open to interpretation, we’ve been around a while 😊
I am so glad the algorithm fed me this. I feel like you just described me to a “t”.
I’m so glad it did too 😊 You’re very welcome to come check out the Quiet ADHD Club
I will be visiting, thank you
