The Sparkly ADHD Diva You Didn’t Know You Needed
Oh, hi! I’m Sheena, your sparkly, neurospicy new BFF. Welcome to the chaos of my brain!
This isn’t my first rodeo at blogging. I’ve had a few over the years. They have never stuck though, because I always felt like I needed to write for other people and not what I actually needed to get out of my brain. I’ve always loved to write. I find it very therapeutic. But writing for others versus writing what I actually wanted and needed to say resulted in me losing interest and abandoning my blogs.
After getting divorced a little over three years ago, I have spent a lot of time digging deep inside myself, trying to find who I really am outside of being a mom and (now ex) wife. Going through a major life change like divorce really makes a person feel like she’s lost her identity, specially if she got married young and started having kids almost right away. Learning who you are for the first time and learning to love and embrace all parts of your sassy, crazy, emotional self can be a roller coaster.
I spent all of my adult life going on and off medication for anxiety and depression. None of it worked. Most of it made me feel even worse. A couple of months into my new single journey, I finally saw a doctor that said “I think we should evaluate you for ADHD.” Going through that process, getting diagnosed, and then starting the correct medication has been life changing for me. Learning more about ADHD in adult women also made me realize that all these personality traits that I have had all my life weren’t because I was too emotional, lazy, scatterbrained, or all the other negative connotations that women who are undiagnosed say to themselves. My brain is just different. It’s neurospicy. There isn’t anything wrong with me.
So what will you find on this new blog? A lot of ramblings mostly. There will be a lot of self-reflection, some adventures in dating as a single mom of teenagers, and whatever else I may feel like writing about at the moment. This might be your cup of tea and it might not be, and that’s okay. While I do hope you stay and hope that something resonates with you, I know that my writing style, sassiness, and squirrel brain is not for everyone.
I look forward to sharing my bougie, sassy, ADHD life with you!
Love,
Sheena
