You were never too much. You were just unmet.
This is a safe space for women who think too deeply, feel too loudly, and have spent their life thinking they were ‘too much’. The late diagnosed, the unmasked, the neurodivergent, the quietly recovering.
I’m Ella. Twice a week- Mondays and Thursdays- I write about AuDHD, recovery, and what it actually looks like to give life another go.
No tidy redemotion arcs. Just the real, ridiculous, unbearable, ordinary middle of it.
“Good girls don’t get diagnosed, they just nearly die trying”
Subscribing is free, and the writing that matters most always will be. You’ll get every essay in your inbox, plus a comment section that has become its own kind of group chat.
As always, I’ll be here. - Ella <3
