I was 40 years old when I was diagnosed with Inattentive ADHD and ODD. Reflecting on my childhood, life all of a sudden made sense. These weren't character flaws, but the way that my brain was designed to work. As a parent to a neurodiverse kiddo, I knew that there were resources out there geared towards kids but when I looked for tools to use to organize my own brain, I came up short. I had survived 40 years without these resources, but now I needed to support and work with my brain rather than push it into spaces that it just isn't designed to go in. Instead of feeling disappointed and let down, I sought out to create a journal of activities that can help an ADHDer organize their brain, deal with intrusive thought spirals, find hope and create a space for emotional regulation. Truly, this isn't just a journal of blank pages to dump out your thoughts (or feel overwhelmed by the vast blank pages), but a thoughtfully curated collection of activities to truly help you unravel and understand yourself. In My Head - the ADHD Journal for Adults is a space to simultaneously get lost and find yourself in.
