Tools and reflections for understanding, expressing, and managing intense or fluctuating emotions.
We’ve all had that moment: you walk into a room and forget why you went in. You can’t concentrate, you interrupt conversations, your brain feels like a browser with 83 tabs open and one playing music, you just can’t find it. But what if it’s not ADHD? Turns out, several medical conditions can look suspiciously…
You know that moment when you’re minding your business, scrolling through the internet, and then a post pops up that makes you freeze mid-scroll, mid-toast, and possibly mid-existential crisis? That was me this week. Turns out, there’s not just one type of ADD. Not even two. There are seven. Yes, seven types of attention deficit…
It’s Not Just a Kid Thing: Adults Stim Too (We’re Just Sneakier About It) There’s a funny thing that happens when you grow up with an invisible neurological difference. You either get really good at hiding it… or really good at apologising for it. And when it comes to stimming, those self-stimulatory behaviours that help…
We can detect a planet wobbling in deep space, but we still can’t diagnose ADHD in under a year? If you’ve ever tried to get assessed for ADHD, autism, or any neurodivergent profile, you already know the feeling. The waiting room doesn’t start at the clinic,it starts somewhere in the pits of bureaucracy, red tape,…

What Does Epilepsy Have to Do with Neurodivergence? Before we get stuck into the grief, rage and oddly satisfying relief that comes with a late diagnosis, let’s clear something up: yes, epilepsy is a neurodivergent condition. It’s not just about seizures or flashing lights in films (although, yes, those can be dangerous triggers). Epilepsy is…
Ever wondered why your neurodivergent partner just… sits there while you’re crying in the kitchen? Not a hug. Not a tissue. Not even a “Do you want a cuppa?” It’s not heartlessness. It’s not apathy. It’s brain wires doing the electric slide in a house with no lights on. Welcome to the often misunderstood world…
Introduction Ever had to physically clamp your hand over your mouth to stop the words from tumbling out? Welcome to the inner circus of the neurodivergent brain, where thoughts gallop, opinions leap, and silence feels like betrayal. I get it. I’m that woman.
