My ADHD diagnosis didn't suddenly make day to day life easier.

While searching online for support, I came across an ADHD term body doubling = get things done with silent company which looked like it could help!

But I didn’t have anyone to body double with & I had too much anxiety to join virtual co-working spaces with strangers who didn't understand ADHD.

So created the kind of support I was looking for!

2 years after my ADHD diagnosis I found myself completely overwhelmed trying to navigate work & keep up with my day to day tasks. I had a therapist, and I had meds, but I was feeling more isolated than ever. Aside from coaches and counsellors, there didn’t seem to be many post-diagnosis support options for adults with ADHD.

My search history was filled with phrases like "ADHD Support", "Support for ADHD Adults", "Adult ADHD HELP!" and dozens more. At some point while searching I came across an ADHD term body doubling a method of getting things done with silent company . It looked like it could help (more info here!). The only problem? I didn’t have anyone I could body double with.

I could count the amount of friends I could reach out to on one hand, and many of them were in a different time zone. I also had far too much anxiety to join virtual co-working spaces with strangers who didn't understand ADHD & the kinds of things I struggled with. There were also non-work tasks I needed help with. Like keeping up with washing dishes or doing laundry. Tasks I felt shame for struggling with, and tasks that required encouragement.

So I decided to create the kind of support I was looking for!
