And this is what we call being in a dissociative state commonly found emotionally overwhelmed/ burnt out Neurodivergents ❤️

You’re not lazy.
Your nervous system needs a break.

February is fast approaching and with that so is the planning for my vegetable garden. Anyone who has been following me for some time will know that I was lucky enough to adopt a large garden and beautiful little rustic greenhouse when we moved into this house.

I’m not typically the kind of person who can keep plants alive, my first being a spider plant the sister gifted me just 3 years ago, but I found myself drawn to the greenhouse last year - a quiet healing space for me to shut myself away during the early days of my grieving journey and later getting out into the w**d jungle turned vegetable patch.

This year I’ve been feeling a little lost as to where to start (again) in planning my second gardening season until my recent appointment with the iridologist/ naturopath. Along with some suggestions from her and some comments from my dear followers I have settled on focusing my garden on natural adrenal fatigue healing properties. Starting with a few easy to grow indoors herbs I’m now growing in the kitchen window.

I’m going to be documenting my healing garden journey this coming year over in the membership, wether your only able to plant indoors, or have access to a greenhouse/ garden space there will be some helpful information there for you ☺️ You can join us by checking out the comments.

It’s a skill 😌

A large study of 30,000 adults diagnosed with ADHD in the U.K. found women with ADHD died roughly nine years younger than women without a diagnosis. Men had about a seven-year shorter lifespan.

I had my consultation with the Iridologist/ Naturopath today and it was absolutely fascinating! 🧐

I’m still complying all of my thoughts on the experience that I plan to put into a longer blog post soon but for now I will say I left feeling incredibly validated in my healing/ spiritual journey (A spiritual psychologist, weird I know) and given that I started the session quite sceptical and having given away very little information about myself, I was suprised by just how much she was able tell me about myself that I feel was absolutely spot on.

Additionally, I also came home with a double sided page of notes and suggestions to do my own further research on covering topics like:

- Information on naturally healthy Adrenal Fatigue
- Specific areas of my life I can begin focusing on in terms of healing generational trauma
- Suggestions of Adaptogens & Mushroom combinations for natural mind/gut healing
- Tips and Foods that aid Nervous System Healing

As someone who has spent the majority of my life on various forms of medication for various chronic health conditions, I am NOT against pharmaceuticals. At times they have been a saving grace when I’d lost all hope…

But that doesn’t mean that natural diagnostic tools (many of which have been used for hundreds of years) and healing methods should be ignored either. As always, follow the path that feels right for YOU personally.

ADHD and Sleep are not friends 😑

Currently wide awake at 3am topic hopping different projects I would like to be working on in 2025 because my little pickle woke up with a tummy ache and brain said “oh we’re awake! Okay let’s GOOOO!🙄😅

Sending love to all of sleep deprived ND parents Zombieing 🧟‍♀️ their way through the day. You don’t give yourself enough credit for the incredible job you do raising your beautiful (and likely also ND babies) while functioning about 30% brain power 90% of the time. Wether your awake because your busy brain can’t shut down, or because your littles on also have similar sleep struggles, know that your doing a better job than you think you are 💜

Invisible disabilities exist!

Not all disabilities are visible, and in fact, many are not. They still need accommodations, support, and respect. 💚 (green heart emoji)

Image Description:
Very light teal background. There is a graphic of a person with a long sleeve, green shirt and red pants, light skin, and blonde short hair.

To the left, above the person it says in a bubble “What you see”. The person is standing there with a smile on their face, and no immediately visible disabilities.

To the right, above the same person, it says “what you don’t see”: bunch of bubbles with arrows on different parts of the body, pointing to different things that this person is dealing with.

They are: migraines, depression, brain, fog, balance, issues, fatigue, anxiety, palpitations, chronic pain, sensory problems, digestive issues, bladder and bowel problems, dislocation, weakness, isolation.

Below it says “Invisible disabilities exist.”

🤔 Why Is It Important To Learn About Neurodivergent Burnout Recovery/Managment First?

For many NDs, burnout can feel like a permanent state - a relentless cycle of exhaustion, overwhelm, and detachment and dissociation. This state is not just a mental or emotional challenge but one that impacts every facet of life, from physical well-being to relationships and self-perception. If you’re at the beginning of your neurodivergent journey, understanding and prioritising burnout recovery is not only beneficial but essential to your growth and self-discovery….
