and who gets to decide? my tentative explorations into ADHD plus the ups and downs of labelling and, naturally, where I see human design fitting into this conversation
Wow - I can't believe that email response. I am sorry. I don't want to jump on YOUR bandwagon but one thing someone said to me that I found helpful was almost a warning in advance, that other people make comments from what they glimpse on the outside but you are talking about how you feel on the inside. I love how you brought this back to human design. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Lucy 🙏 I’ll just clarify that the email was completely separate from the awful conversation - if I’d had the conversation with lovely Susannah it would have been so different!
I love your comment, you’re so right and it’s probably a message we need to keep reminding of ourselves and sharing widely too… I really just always thought everyone else must feel like this inside. It just shows the power of the sharing we get to do in this connected world. Otherwise how would we know?
Sometimes I try not to link everything back to human design, but it just slips out! When people can see themselves and learn to love themselves, that’s just the best… a journey we’re all on right?
Just as anyone who isn’t a clinician can’t say for certain you have ADHD, they also can’t say you don’t! It’s a lot to get your head around so go gently and you know where I am if you want to talk. I don’t know much about human design but I’m intrigued to know if the adhd women you know are mostly a type? I’m manifesting generator…
Thank you lovely, it would be amazing to talk to you and I appreciate the offer ✨
Good question and it does feel like there would be a natural link to ManGens from the headlines about that type, but so far they’ve been a bit of each, and quite a few projectors - I’ve talked to other HD people about it and whilst we can’t correlate anything specific there are some places in the chart that offer insights - I find these reassuring in and of themselves because they explain a lot, plus HD shifts focus from shadow to gift in each area, so it brings a shift to the positive aspects whilst accepting each of those parts as being exactly as we’re designed, rather than fighting to be someone else.
I’m a generator, but often the transits shift my definition to MG - and I do often feel what I could describe as MG energy internally… or maybe that’s the ADHD? I’ve also got an open head centre and prominent gate 56 (shadow of distraction) and a few other bits that all feel a bit like some ADHD traits, so whether or not I get an official diagnosis i see that it’s all part of me.
It’s interesting to watch at any rate, and noticing how I’ve created my own patterns and strategies over the years without being conscious of it. X
