I don't want to post

Hi I'm Mandy,

Edit: Wow I sound so bitter. The Snapshot was full of questions that are hard to think about. I usually am highly masking, always smiling, trying to see the positive in everything so I'm not crumbling, but well not working on this fine early morning.

I'm 36yo with a life that didn't go as planned. Always been different in some way, no matter the "group" I was in, never found where I belong even in my family. Add endometriosis that was undiagnosed for 7 years, operated last year, just to come back worse with adenomyosis. A long Covid in the middle of those years that felt like a steep cognitive decline. I spent years not recognizing myself in the mirror.

I can now accept that i'm not the same, but I still don't know who I am or who I'm becoming.

Self-diagnosed AuDHD, because I'm in France, and AuDHD is not even known... and getting an autism or ADHD assessment cost an arm and a leg, so imagine getting both.

I work in Communication Strategy mostly, but I had many lives (tourism, events, client support specialist), and I do translation and interpretation sometimes as it was my first love.

I'm trying to find my spark again, or a new spark, just something to feel like I'm living again, and not just surviving.

I promise I'm usually more fun, I love to laugh (I make myself laugh a lot) and make others laugh.
