Breaking Past Demons. The Saga Continues

ADHD Diagnosis

By Alisha Wilkins ✒️🦋🖋️Published 2 years ago • 1 min read

Confession time.

I was diagnosed with ADHD as of Wednesday 1/31/25.

So, what does this new chapter of my life look like?

I have no clue.

I know that my life is filled with too much multi-tasking.

I know my life is filled with noise, constantly something playing in the background while my thoughts run me ragged.

It’s my clicking pen, while my foot taps uncontrollably, and I stare at a screen with thirty tabs open at one time.

What does this mean for me?

I talked it over with my therapist today.

Maybe it’s time for me to focus,

It sounds so cliché.

It’s time for a new journey as I continue on this trail of discovery and self-awareness.

It’s relieving to know that I’m not alone.

It’s good to know that there are people in my life willing to support me no matter what the circumstances.

And it’s going to be okay.

This is just another page in my book of life.

Another chapter to be written and discussed.
