Blog.
Written from the work, and from my own experience of finding out late. Nothing here is a substitute for talking to someone, and none of it will tell you whether medication or HRT would help you. That belongs with your GP.
Neurodivergence, burnout and making sense of it.
ADHD burnout, and the fatigue nobody warns you about.
The tiredness that comes from running a mind that will not idle, and from a life built out of last-minute rescues.
ADHD, perimenopause, and the compounding nobody warned you about.
Two things that each make the other harder to see, arriving at once, in a decade when women are routinely told they are simply tired.
AuDHD explained: autism and ADHD together.
The plain answers, and then the part that is harder to find written down.
AuDHD in women, when nobody spotted it.
A recognition piece rather than a checklist. If several of these land, that is the point of them.
Autistic burnout, and how recovery actually works.
Not ordinary tiredness, and not depression, though it is regularly treated as both.
Starting counselling.
For anyone weighing it up rather than looking for something specific.
How to choose a counsellor.
Ten questions worth asking before you book anything, what a good answer sounds like, and my own answers to all of them.
What to expect from counselling.
What actually happens in the hour, what it costs, how confidentiality works, and the things I will not do. Written about this practice rather than about counselling in general.
What I am writing about next.
Masking and unmasking, and what actually helps with sensory overload at work. If there is something you would find useful, let me know on the call and I will write it.
Reading about it only gets you so far.
The first fifteen-minute call is free, by phone, with no obligation to book anything afterwards.
