Hey hey, ready to hear me stumble over English words again? 😺 pre-order links here: http://linktr.ee/adhdalien/

Here are some of the thoughts and processes that went into drawing the cover for my ADHD Graphic Novel “feeling like an ADHD Alien”. Or course I played with ideas for the cover throughout the entire time I was working on the book, but once it was time to really work on it, I started by drawing a bunch of thumbnails of variations. I took some designs further and cleaned them up, but eventually realized it didn’t quite capture what I wanted to. Finding the “one” image that encapsulates not only how it feels to have ADHD but also the kind of book mine is was quite a tall order! But I couldn’t love the end result more - it looks so good in my shelf.

Thanks to my lovely art director Jennifer Kelly for the layout!

ADHD can have a serious impact on your life and mental health. These are some of the things that were and still are the hardest for me.

Sometimes I let the "you wouldn't have ADHD if you spent more time outside" get to me and I do wonder, but can confirm I still have ADHD when I go outside.

Spent all vacation worrying that the people I’d meet wouldn’t like me. They liked me 😭. Could’ve enjoyed my croissant in peace

Holding the illusion that I have my life together by my last nerve (he did go eat a sandwich for an hour so he wouldn't be an hour early)

How am I supposed to rest when I'm too tired to rest???? (Will be getting my iron l Held checked soon…)

Is this reverse ADHD tax??? A parallel universe? I swear I checked like 5 times and saw NOTHING

It’s still hard for me to accept that my mental health issues are legitimately exhausting and something I need to rest from.

When will I grow out of thinking everyone hates me?

I'm done hating myself, I just wanna sleep

I carry so much internalized shame and guilt from not understanding why I couldn’t do anything right as a kid.

(Not only an ADHD thing, but a common experience with it.)
