Burnout. Boundaries. Bullsh*t. I’ve been lost, broken, burnt out and told a thousand times to just get on with it. Add perimenopause into the mix, a late autism and ADHD diagnosis, and you’ve got the perfect storm. I’m Moody, human first, divergent always. This isn’t self-help, it’s the realities of being late diagnosed, the skill regression that comes with burnout, and the process of relearning life all over again.
