A note from me
I was diagnosed with ADHD five years ago. Its unmasking brought with it many life-altering
manifestations, some of which were incredibly difficult to navigate.
The hardest blow was losing my lifelong passion for reading. The focus and stillness were simply
gone. Wanting to better understand what was happening to me, I turned to audiobooks.
I spent many of the hours I was out on the road while out working, listening to book after book,
until things slowly began to make sense.
ADHD reframed my entire past, but understanding it has allowed me to take back control of my
present and future.
Somewhere in the darkest part of it — the isolation, the not-knowing — I wrote five words down for
myself: love me, love my ADHD. It started as something I needed to believe. It became the reason
this whole thing exists. It's why you're reading this on a site called lovemelovemyadhd.com.
If you're suffering, help is out there. I hope you find some of it here.
What this is
This guide is everything I wish someone had put in my hands on day one.
It is not the recycled advice you've heard a hundred times — just use a planner,
have you tried trying harder. That advice never worked, because it was never built for a
brain like ours. This is the real version: why your brain does the thing, and what to actually do
about it. No willpower required. No shame attached.
