✨ New Blog Post from Anna ✨

We’re proud to share a powerful and deeply personal piece written by our peer worker, Anna: “What I’ve Learned From Living With Bipolar Disorder for 20 Years.”

In this blog, Anna reflects on the realities of living with bipolar disorder, the stigma that can come with diagnosis, and the importance of hope, connection and being truly seen as a person — not a label.

Stories like Anna’s are a reminder of the strength, insight and compassion that lived experience brings to peer work 💚

“Is this ADHD… or just pregnancy?” has become a regular internal broadcast over here, and honestly, half the time I still don’t know the answer!

This season has been full of joy, exhaustion, plot twists, medication changes, meltdowns over broken toast, hyperfocus baby prep, and a whole lot of deep breaths. Being pregnant while neurodivergent is… a journey. A very wiggly, emotional, hilarious, tender journey.

So I wrote a blog about it! The real stuff, the messy stuff, the ‘is this normal?’ moments, and the parts no one tells you about. If you’re navigating pregnancy with a neurodivergent brain too, I hope this one makes you feel seen.

You’re not alone. You’re not failing. Your brain and your body are doing so much at the same time... and you’re doing beautifully.

A candid, funny, and supportive look at navigating pregnancy with ADHD, including medication changes, baby‑brain chaos, energy crashes, body‑doubling prep days, extra ultrasounds, midwife program support in Australia, and the emotional rollercoaster of gestational diabetes.
