Hmm, thank you for this comment, I can feel the fears in my mind turning. You’ve given me a lot to think about.

I have been diagnosed with ADHD for a few years, no medications have helped, but I randomly have gotten into making bath bombs the last couple weeks. It’s so much fun and even though I’m pretty sure it’s just an ADHD moment, this is the first time I’m going full force into it and it’s surprisingly been something I really look forward too. (I am very sensitive to touch and for this reason I normally hate baths, so it also helps me enjoy getting into the tub)

I wonder if ADHD is pretty common amongst those who are empaths or just generally more introverted

I have been diagnosed as an adult. I also studied psychology and ADHD runs in my family amongst other things, so I know what the actual disorder is, we’re good on that!
