my ADHD red flags
the signs have been here all along
🚩 1988 - gets in trouble for losing things constantly. told “you’d lose your head if it wasn’t screwed on” a lot
🚩 1990 - finally receive a flute after pestering my parents for years. begin a lifelong obsession with music
🚩 1992 - bullied and physically assaulted. get in trouble for daydreaming a lot. teacher tells parents I’m smart and have a lot of “potential” if I would just pay attention more
🚩 1996 - drop Chemistry as a subject in high school because it’s boring and replace it with Drama
🚩 1997 - graduate high school with a senior certificate stacked with the subjects I enjoyed including Music, Drama and Dance. tell parents I would be happy if I could play in a band forever
🚩 2000 - graduate uni with a Bachelor of Music. Fall into a deep depression without a routine wondering what I’m going to do with my life. zero motivation. no idea how to find a job. watch TV and sleep a lot.
🚩 2001 - start a music business with a friend writing meditones music and realise I’ve found my calling. it’s all I can think and talk about
🚩 2007 - the business dissolves and I switch careers to leave the music industry behind for a corporate role. train to become an Environmental Project Manager
🚩 2010 - leave corporate job and switch careers (again) to become a Personal Trainer
🚩 2013 - decide I want to have the freedom of an online entrepreneur so switch careers (for the third time) to become a blogger
🚩 2014 - dissolve my blog and return to my roots as a music composer and create multiple meditones albums
🚩 2014-2022 - successfully run my own business but still struggle with anxiety and depression. go on and off medication. go to therapy a lot.
🚩 2023 - feeling like I’ve healed a lot of trauma but still struggle so much with brain fog, low motivation, fluctuating energy, and inconsistency. realise my symptoms aren’t anxiety or depression but actually a lifetime of untreated ADHD.
✅ Today - implement systems of executive function management to wild success. feel relieved and better than ever. wonder if medication and a formal diagnosis could help…

Hello! I’m late diagnosed AuDHD and resonate so much with what you are saying. I just downloaded your app and am really enjoying it. Mediation has always been so hard for me, and just one more way in which I feel broken. Thank you for creating this app! Do you think it something that I could listen to while I work?
