I Just Thought I was Too Much |The Moment I Realised I Had ADHD | MY ADHD JOURNEY • Part 28 aug12 min

<p>This is Part 2 of Jenny&#39;s personal ADHD journey. In Part 1, she shared what life was like before she knew she had ADHD. In this episode, she shares the moment everything changed. Jenny attended a conference about neurodivergence hoping to better understand her son. Instead, she found herself recognising her own experiences for the first time. In this episode, she shares the emotional moment she realised she had ADHD, how years of believing she was &quot;too much&quot; suddenly began to make sense, and why understanding her neurodivergent brain changed the way she saw herself forever.</p><p>If you&#39;ve ever felt different, blamed yourself for struggling, or wondered why life seems harder than it does for other people, this episode offers a compassionate new perspective on self-understanding and self-belief.</p><ul><li><p>How do adults realise they have ADHD?</p></li><li><p>What are the signs of ADHD in women?</p></li><li><p>What does undiagnosed ADHD feel like?</p></li><li><p>How do you know if you&#39;re neurodivergent?</p></li><li><p>What does neurodivergent mean?</p></li><li><p>Why do women get diagnosed with ADHD later in life?</p></li><li><p>What is ADHD masking?</p></li><li><p>Can ADHD affect self-esteem?</p></li><li><p>Why do I always feel like I&#39;m too much?</p></li><li><p>Why does life feel harder than it should?</p></li><li><p>Can ADHD make you feel misunderstood?</p></li><li><p>What happens after recognising ADHD?</p></li><li><p>How does neurodivergence affect everyday life?</p></li><li><p>Why do I blame myself all the time?</p></li><li><p>How can understanding ADHD improve self-belief?</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Self understanding</p></li><li><p>ADHD awareness</p></li><li><p>Question old beliefs</p></li><li><p>Neurodivergent thinking</p></li><li><p>Self compassion</p></li></ul><p><strong>Realising she had ADHD answered one question, but it raised many more.</strong></p><p>Next week, Jenny shares what happened when she decided to seek a diagnosis, why the process felt overwhelming, and how finally receiving that diagnosis brought both relief and a whole new chapter of self-understanding.</p><p><strong>Remember:</strong> Sometimes the greatest shift isn&#39;t discovering who you are. It&#39;s letting go of who you believed you had to be.</p><p>The moment you stop asking, &quot;What&#39;s wrong with me?&quot; is often the moment you begin understanding yourself with compassion instead of criticism. </p><p>Jenny&#39;s recent <strong>Blame</strong> series explored why we so often take responsibility for things that were never ours to carry, and how easy it is to believe we&#39;re the problem. </p><p><strong>Listen to the Blame Series here:</strong> <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/2BbqcCEpKA9kVOs46RiX1I?si=DuX_3KSKTHKNchM6eWegAw"><em>https://open.spotify.com/episode/2BbqcCEpKA9kVOs46RiX1I?si=DuX_3KSKTHKNchM6eWegAw</em></a></p><p>Jenny&#39;s <strong>Judgement</strong> series explores how fear of being judged, self-judgement and other people&#39;s opinions can quietly shape the way we see ourselves. </p><p><strong>Listen to the Judgement Series here: </strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/64rs54mfdFqX0oWF62d44J?si=mnFwfCW8SvC8Q_9oCTI9kA"><u>https://open.spotify.com/episode/64rs54mfdFqX0oWF62d44J?si=mnFwfCW8SvC8Q_9oCTI9kA</u></a></p><p><strong>💜 Something special is here!</strong></p><p>If you’ve been noticing the same thoughts, reactions, or emotional patterns repeating in your life, Jenny’s free Continued Writing session may help you understand what’s happening underneath them.</p><p>Jenny will guide you through a gentle continued writing exercise designed to help you uncover subconscious patterns, emotional responses, and automatic behaviours that are often difficult to see on your own.
