Chloe Veitch Instagram – Since my ADHD diagnosis everything seems more clearer as to why I go into “over stimulating “ when it comes to pressure with work/home/friendships ect. At first I thought I was lazy, a bad friend, weak & overly emotional- BUT my brain just works a little differently when it comes to these things. I’ve found myself having news from a major network that I’ve been working towards for years give me the deal of my life- so why do I feel emotional/upset & why am I struggling to get out of bed? Understanding that I shouldn’t beat my self up or shame myself or feel guilty is the FIRST STEP. The second step is just FEELING the emotions, if I need 1/2 days to isolate to feel like I’m recharged then I WILL because I need to learn how my mind/body and spirit works and aligns. By meditating and keeping contact with my family it keeps the anxiety levels low. So leaning into that helps me in this time of pure paralysis – 3rd step is making tiny steps forward, brushing my hair, washing my face and getting in the shower. (People may laugh and say this is normal tho?) to me when I get emotionally and physically exhausted from the lows and self doubt, I “freeze”when I wake up in the morning. So making little notes to make my bed or brush my teeth and to TELL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO KEEP ME ACCOUNTABLE FOR DOING THIS HELPS! By relying on them when I need it, to NOT be ashamed that I have no control when my mind gets like this. A problem halved is a problem shared. So if you are struggling right now. If you are doubting yourself because you’re not a millionaire at 20-30-40 or that you can’t get out of bed in the morning. TALK, ring your friends, meditate, look after yourself and LISTEN to your body. If you need rest take rest. But if you feel you’re going even more downhill ask your friends to stay on FaceTime in the morning untill you’ve had your daily shower. It will pass. YOU’VE GOT THIS 🫶🏽 love Chloe xx
