My ADHD Brain

I have ADHD! So what?

Hoy!!!

It's a word that resonates with the lively spirit of the Philippines, and if you're wondering why I just shouted it at you, well, that's part of what you can expect from this blog – a touch of Filipino flair, a dash of humor, and a whole lot of sincerity. My name is Aris, and welcome to "My ADHD Brain PH."

"So what?" you might ask. "What's so special about having ADHD, and why create a blog about it?"

I hear you, and I've asked myself the same question countless times. But I've come to realize that "so what" isn't just a question; it's a statement of resilience, a declaration of identity. So, let's embark on this journey together – to understand ADHD, to navigate the nuances of living with it, and to embrace it with open arms. It's not just my journey; it's a shared experience.

Who Am I?

Allow me to introduce myself.

I'm a Filipino like you, living with ADHD, and proud to be a part of this vibrant and diverse community. As someone who walks the talk, I understand the daily struggles, quirks, and even the superpowers that come with ADHD.

But my journey isn't just about personal experience. I've delved deep into the world of mental health coaching and earned my stripes as an emotional intelligence practitioner. Why? Because I believe in the power of compassion, understanding, and effective support.

The purpose of this blog?

It's simple yet profound: to raise awareness and provide support for ADHD right here in the Philippines. ADHD isn't just a buzzword; it's a reality for many, and it's time we acknowledged it. This blog is my way of shouting "Hoy!" to the world and saying, "Let's talk about it, let's support one another, and let's thrive together."
