LOUD AND PROUD

Lucy Williams, 29, of Wellington, has decided to reboot her entire personality following a fresh diagnosis of ADHD, ushering in an era of impulsive decisions, distractible charm, and a robust collection of half-finished hobbies.

“Honestly, it feels like I’ve found the missing piece of the puzzle,” Lucy said while mid-sentence explaining her sudden enthusiasm for both knitting and online cooking classes.

 “I’ve always had this…uh, what’s the word? Oh, right, ‘energy.’ Now I have a reason for it. A diagnosis! It’s like finding out I’m not just chaotic—I’m clinically chaotic.” Lucy exclaimed, also happy to know the reason she has always been single may be due to her ADHD.

For years, Lucy had been known as that friend who always seemed to be starting projects—painting, yoga, writing a novel, attempting to bake sourdough—only to abandon them for the next shiny idea. Her friends had long since stopped asking her about her latest venture, opting instead to admire her in a resigned, yet supportive, silence.

But now? Now, it all made sense.

“People always told me I was ‘a bit of a character,’” Lucy explained. “Turns out, I’m not just ‘a bit of a character’—I’m an adult with ADHD, and that’s like, a whole personality shift. Suddenly, I can explain all my weird habits with science!”

More to come.
