From Hustle to Flow; High-Performing ADHD, Anxiety and the Need to Chill the Fuck Out (pt 2)
What I have come to understand about myself is that my neurodivergent brain and nervous system needs to stay busy and active. I actually use ADHD to my advantage to get shit done.

From Hustle to Flow; High-Performing ADHD, Anxiety and the Need to Chill the Fuck Out (pt 1)
I’ve been a lifelong hustler. Sounds kinda gangster, I know. But I have!
Throughout my life I have learned that my value and worth is often tied up in my productivity, work and how well I perform. Burnout and exhaustion have been proudly worn on my sleeve like some fucked up boy scout patches.
The crazy part? I like it.
