I Was Apparently Right-ADHD/Anxiety
Hello all!
So if you listened to last week's episode, you know that I was concerned about my lack of focus, etc and that I may have ADHD. It turns out I may have a mild form of both ADHD and Anxiety disorder. In this episode, I talk about the doctor's appointment that helped to potentially get to this diagnosis and how it may now help me get back on track!

Be well and Namaste!
Let's Ramble About Potential ADD and Finding a Therapist
Potential trigger warning!
This week, I want to talk about my current struggle with mental health and looking for a therapist to help me get a handle on things.
It's something I've been struggling with and it's time to get help. I encourage anyone who is struggling to get help. It's been a long road and it's just beginning but over the last few weeks, I've noticed my issues getting more difficult to ignore. I talk about that in this week's episode. This does get personal so be warned.

When One Door Closes
You know that old saying "when one door closes, another one opens"? Well, one door closed for me last week. I am working on opening another door.
This week I ramble about the event that happened right after I uploaded last week's episode and about things that I wish I had done. I also talk about what it's like to pull myself back up by my bootstraps and get going all over again. It's not always easy but it's a lesson I keep learning so let's get rambling!
