🌟For 35 years, I’ve rocked. Whether it’s in my chair, tapping my feet, or shaking my legs, it’s been my way of navigating the world. But along the way, I’ve faced comments and jokes from coworkers, like, “What are you listening to?” Sure, it might sound funny, but it stung too.
Yet, through it all, I’ve come to see my rocking as a part of who I am—a unique trait that makes me, well, me! It’s not just a habit; it’s a coping mechanism, a way to manage the chaos of everyday life. And you know what? That’s okay.
So here’s to embracing our quirks, to celebrating the things that make us different. Because it’s these very traits that add color to the world, that make each of us beautifully unique.

When we go on vacations, my sister always ask “when will you take your nap”…. Around 2-3 o clock everyday I am mentally exhausted.. I feel like a child who needs a nap. 💤
Finding a quiet moment to recharge can be crucial, especially with ADHD.
How I would need a minute to recharge and re focus… and for so long I never understood why…I just needed to get away for a bit… and how finally after my third psychiatrist who actually listened to me instead of just trying to shove more anti depression/anxiety meds down me, the ADHD makes so many more things click and I don’t feel as guilty for needing that moment of silence
