Right from childhood, I have been dealing with major concentration issues. The inability to focus not only affected my education but also became a huge challenge in my professional and personal lives in the later years of my life. Unware of why I was unable to focus, I kept blaming myself for years, which led to chronic stress and anxiety. Due to my rather erratic schedule, my physical health suffered too.
In December 2020, I quit my job as a film journalist and decided to switch to a freelance career. During this period of self-introspection, I discovered that I had all the symptoms of ADHD. Determined to find ways to manage my symptoms, I saw a psychiatrist in July 2021, and was formally diagnosed. A holistic approach to the disorder helps me deal with it on a daily basis.
I would be happy to share the many lessons I have learned through this challenging yet supremely rewarding journey. I am also open to talking about career and relationships, both of which are deeply impacted by ADHD.
