“When the student is ready, the tutor will appear”. He did and introduced me to the quest to find answers through reading, youtube, lectures. What I found out most recently is that the foundation of much of the anxiety started when I was 3 years old and hounded by nightmares of those close to me “dying”, being murdered by a Volkswagon car. At age of 32 a traumatic brain injury changed my destiny, the level of perfection which started from childhood, became the real rod upon my back. Perhaps this is why the neuropsychologist stressed to me that the outcomes from brain injuries differ. ADHD was not talked about in the 1960’s but with the benefit hindsight, it needs to be looked at now. Perfection is a hard task master and it consumes your brain … my advice is be alert to it and learn to accept “Enough” not “Perfection”. ADDitude “Adults Living with ADHD” is an article I can concur with. See below. (I highly recommend this article, each and every line, I can identify with … and I am a believer in lifelong learning…6 decades now).

Post Pandemic Stress Disorder: Recommend this article. My experience is depression as young as 8 year old; hounded by anxiety without it ever being discussed. Tackle this crisis now; do not let children suffer throughout their lives. Listen to people who have experienced the pain of depression, anxiety, excessive stress, phobias, etc. “One in four people will experience mental illness in their lives, costing the global economy an estimated $6 trillion by 2030.”
2017 it was a diagnosis of breast cancer so I wrote book not knowing what the future had in store in the hope that my experiences may help another. Fortune Favours the Brave by Michelle Marcella Clarke is published by … Continue reading

“Asylum” I shudder deep within but that is Fear. This article by Rosita Boland (Saturday 29th January 2022 Irish Times) is comprehensive. Asylum means “Refuge” but the history of the treatment of people diagnosed with mental illness is a journey we all need to explore; some of us have been there and you will see from my blog my experiences. I have written book “Fortune Favours the Brave” by Michelle Marcella Clarke on Amazon. I believe this article should be read far and wide in Ireland which has a miniscule budget allocation for mental health/illness as I prefer to use. COVID-19 was Public Health No 1 but following it is Public Health No 2 … it is called Post Pandemic Stress Disorder. The time is now to learn from people who know from experience mental illness.
