My Story
In May 2013, I had a panic attack at work that turned my life upside down. What followed were years of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and restless nights. At the time, it felt like my world was collapsing — but it was also the beginning of a deeper journey.
I was formally diagnosed with ADHD in my 40s. That diagnosis explained a lot of the challenges I’d been facing for decades — the racing thoughts, the restlessness, the difficulty staying focused, and the constant mental noise that left me feeling disconnected.
It was a relief to finally have answers, but it also showed me the truth of living with ADHD as an adult—trying to balance work, family, and faith while facing struggles I couldn’t always explain. Yet, I believe God has given me the strength to keep going, and with Him, I know I am not walking this path alone.
And I’m truly not alone. Many people carry racing thoughts, quiet shame, or fears they never speak out loud. Some sit in church but feel far from God. Some look calm on the outside but are breaking on the inside. God sees all of this. He knows. And with Him, we don’t have to hide or pretend.
That’s why I started DivertMind.
This site is for people like me — people who feel like their brain won’t shut off, who sometimes wonder if they’re broken.
I don’t write as a coach, doctor, or guru. I share what I’ve learned simply as a companion walking the same road — through ADHD, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and the daily battle of a restless mind.
Guiding Principles
Here are the values that keep me grounded:
Small steps matter. Tiny, consistent actions create lasting change.
Faith over fear. Real peace comes from trusting God, not controlling everything.
Progress, not perfection. Healing is messy — setbacks don’t erase growth.
Stories shape us. The way we interpret our thoughts can trap us or set us free.
