Hey Brain, Can We Not?

 

Welcome to The Depressed ADHD Runner.

Raw. Relatable. Ridiculously real.

Hey there – I’m so glad you found your way here. This little corner of the internet is where I unpack the chaos, curveballs, and quiet victories of life in my thirties (and beyond). It’s a space for honest storytelling, humour that borders on dark, and a whole lot of “same, girl” moments.

Whether I’m sprinting through a meltdown, wrangling my dogs, or just trying to remember why I walked into a room, this blog is about showing up – messy, human, and unapologetically real.

You’ll find stories on mental health, ADHD, running (both for fitness and away from responsibilities), dogs, and everything in between – all with a dose of humour and heart.

Welcome to the ride. Let’s rise, survive, and maybe even thrive – together.

Blog Series

 

From chaotic runs to canine cuddles and mental health moments — explore each series to find stories that are raw, relatable, and a little bit ridiculous. Because surviving your thirties takes more than coffee... it takes community.
