Another journal completed - this one was a stop-gap when I left my ongoing one at my parents' over February half term, but it's been fun to have my own little Veronica Sawyer moment (without the murder count, obviously!) #Heathers #journalingteacher

Soar to new heights. We believe in you. ☁️

The strangest Easter holiday, and the strangest first day not going back to school. But my journal stays the same. Still pretty, still full of all the words that fill my head and need to go somewhere!

Always find time for the things that make you happy to be alive.

If I could change one thing to make life easier for people with ADHD

I would delete the idea that forgetting something is an indication of how important that thing is to the person who forgot it.

saw a tiktok that said “people with adhd don’t fall asleep, they pass out” and this is why it’s so hard to be both adhd and autistic because i don’t have the energy to tire myself out so i will be tired all day but then not be able to sleep at night !!!

Not everyone can wear them - either always or at all.

They can cause issues (pressure, pain, headaches, etc.)

Talk today on #AuDHD #ADHD and #Autism lots of questioning rates, do we need diangosis, it is fashionable. You know what use to happen? We would die. The rates of suicide in all of these are massive. cam.ac.uk/research/news/…

One of the most debilitating aspects of my ADHD is definitely RSD (rejection sensitive dysphoria).

It’s not just “a bit sensitive“, it’s an overwhelming, debilitating, uncontrollable reaction that often takes me into complete executive dysfunction.

The first same-sex weddings in the UK took place on 29th March 2014.

In my #LGBTQ inclusive book GLITTER BOY, James’s teacher Mr Hamilton gets married to his husband Sam and the school choir sing at their wedding. Here’s one of my favourite moments from the story:
