Intrusive Thoughts - What are they and why do we get them?
trigger warning – #self-harm #SuicidalIdeation #HomicidalIdeations #SexualViolence It’s something that is still rarely talked about due to its darker nature. Consequently, many of us believe that we are alone in these thoughts, exacerbating the feelings of shame and guilt. My earliest memory of intrusive thoughts was as a teenager. I remember thoughts would just come into my head about harming others, about being raped, and about harming myself. I had no idea what these were and was so ashamed I never mentioned them to anyone.

Intrusive Thoughts - What are they and why do we get them?
What are Intrusive Thoughts? Intrusive thoughts are distressing and unwanted thoughts, images or urges that suddenly pop into your mind. They can be very varied but usually take the form of: Doubts: “What if my baby stopped breathing?”, “What if I shook the baby?” Images: The image of the house burning down because the hair straighteners were not switched off. Impulses: Urge to crash into the car in front of you, urge to hit your baby when they won’t stop crying. Thoughts: “The kitchen surfaces must be disinfected before I cook”, “Everything must be in the right place before I leave the house.”

Great Jobs for People with ADHD
If like me, you spent years moving from job to job/promotion to promotion, suddenly things make sense. Perfectionism, Rejection Sensitivity and Impulsivity are just some symptoms that don’t make sticking to the same job easy. So, are there such things as jobs for people with ADHD?

About Me | ADHD Menopause and Me
Jumping on the ‘24 trend and sharing a little bit about me and my account (and family) to all my lovely new followers. My life is very much focused on Sam and his journey at the moment, so expect quite a bit of that on my feed. His assessment journey, his EHCP journey and school journey. But along the way I share information, tit bits and lived experience of parenting ND kids whilst ND myself, menopause and ADHD and a little bit of lip sync for fun along the way. I hope you stick around, I love meeting new people (well not IRL, I’m too shy for that 🫣🤣)

10 Signs I Have ADHD (from my childhood) | How Felicity Finds
Heading into the final half term of primary school for Sam and for me as a parent 🫣 it got me thinking back to when I was his age. Looking at the symptoms for girls (as opposed to boys or older women) then I confirmed just how many affected me when I was that age without realising. Have you ever looked back into your childhood to see how it affected you then? #ADHDWomen #ADHDinGirls

ADHD Burnout - How To Manage Signs
A little over a year ago I suffered a pretty catastrophic episode of burnout. Unable to work or cope with even the most simple daily tasks. It took over three months, medication and a lot of support from family and friends to be able to return to work. However, none of this would have been sustainable if it wasn’t for my taking the above steps. Recognising that my brain worked differently just like my boys, has allowed me to approach life in a way that works for me.
