She probably wouldn’t be able to do it herself? That’s just a guess.
completely agree with everyone’s knowledge on ADHD…I personally just think we’ve had no indication of her having it? On that note, I actually do think there’s a reason we see so many influencers with it. A) impulsive and excessive oversharing B) chaotic disorganisation (“relatable”) C) creativity D) many struggle to hold down regular, normal people work (hence the influencing) E) often very emotive and struggle with emotional regulation …..they really do make lot of sense in that regard. Elle however- high achiever, managed to study and practice LAW???? Manages to run a business? Has sustained long term weight loss and not falling into binge eating cycle? Seems rather regulated with emotion (we don’t see her really high or really low), very considered with what she posts, doesn’t seem to struggle with keeping on top of tasks more than you’d expect of someone with young children…...listen I’m not an expert and if she has it, great, make sure you milk it for CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT, Elle. I need to examine my own emotions around this, but I think that it’s mostly that I feel like we kind of know her character of “what Elle wants, Elle will ACHIEVE”, and this just feels a biiiiiiiit like that. On an aside, I believe myself to have ADHD- I’ve suspected it for about 3 1/2 years now. Why am I not diagnosed? Can’t organise the doctors appointment to get on the path to diagnosis, can I? Lol
I was recently diagnosed, but already in the mental health system so a shorter wait time. I found it so ironic that the paperwork you have to fill out is a bazillion pages long! Took me months to do haha.
In saying that, and I have no idea whether Elle is or not, or doing it for the follows or not … I am high functioning in not just ADHD but my other mental health diagnoses. A close friend I spoke to about it couldn’t believe it, and posted some of the things you said - high achieving (I’m not. However my psychologist would say that’s my low self esteem haha), nobody except those in my very inner circle sees my high or lows, I mask a lot. People who come over only see the put together parts of me and my home, it looks like I do it all. I don’t. And if I do it’s because I run on 3 hours sleep. And then nap because I have no energy for a week. Disclaimer- I also have Depression, anxiety, OCD (the real kind, not the “I have to have a clean house so must have ocd, this is content” kind), and BPtype2. I say all this because my other factors come into play - my general anxiety means I do things because I worry about what others think. My ocd / adhd means
tit in my house like my kitchen cabinets are spotless after getting the urge after putting the dishes away, but the linen closet is a pigsty because I don’t have the energy to fold the laundry or get distracted. My BP means I have highs/lows that contribute too.
Anyway, thanks for coming to my unnecessary TED talk, sorry. Also, I’m not disagreeing with anything you are saying, and am annoyed at how many on the gram say they have adhd etc for the *content*.
Annnnd I hope you get to see a dr soon, look forward to the gazillion page forms they want you to fill out hehe

I’m definitely not here spiralling because I overshares, and over wrote, in a forum for tattling not my life story.
