ADHD

After losing more than 13 stone, I thought maintenance would feel peaceful. Instead, it made me realise something uncomfortable about my ADHD brain. I was not addicted to losing weight. I was addicted to the feeling of progress.

I never believed I’d reach a healthy weight. After years of failed diets, Mounjaro helped quieten the food noise and gave me the space to build habits that finally lasted. This is the honest story of losing more than 13 stone, carrying the equivalent of a washing machine every day without realising it and discovering that changing your body is only the beginning. If you’re considering Mounjaro, I hope my experience helps you take the first step.

We spoke every day. Now there’s silence. A quiet end to a friendship, choosing self respect over staying half in and slowly disappearing

I was angrier than I expected to be, and it took time to understand why. Nothing dramatic happened. No blow-up. Just a careful, thoughtful message that sounded balanced and kind, while quietly shifting where responsibility landed. I realised my reaction wasn’t emotional insecurity, it was ethical alarm. I have ADHD and a highly responsive justice system. When responsibility moves toward the person who can cope, rather than the one causing disruption, my body notices first.

ADHD justice sensitivity makes unfairness feel like a physical wound. I’m holding undeniable proof a friend’s partner is cheating, but saying anything risks gaslighting, rejection, and isolation. Staying silent burns. This post unpacks the mental loop, the science behind justice sensitivity, and what it costs to be the moral compass in someone else’s mess while your brain screams for action you can’t take.

ADHD gives us a built-in vibe detector—spotting red flags before anyone else. We may forget keys, but we won’t miss shady behaviour!
