Navigating Life with ADHD and OCD

Donna’s path to recognising her own ADHD and OCD began with her son’s diagnosis, a story of late clarity, lifelong rituals, and the self-care that keeps her steady.

The Story.

Donna’s journey of self-discovery began with her son’s ADHD diagnosis, which led her to recognise her own neurodivergent traits. Understanding her ADHD and its intersection with OCD has brought clarity to her past struggles with focus and mental energy.

Growing up with undiagnosed OCD, she managed rituals and routines from a young age, shaping her adult experiences. Now, as a mother, she embraces self-care practices like journaling and meditation, which help balance her ADHD and OCD symptoms. Donna’s story underscores the value of early diagnosis, family support, and developing practical strategies for managing neurodivergent traits.
