I started ActivateDeactivation aged 50, soon after being diagnosed with ADHD since childhood. This explains a lot of my behaviour, from being a disruptive school kid to years of alcoholism, depression, anxiety and some drugs thrown in for good measure. 

​

My blog can read like a litany of screw-ups but I know I’m not the only one and there are definitely many more who have had worse experiences. 

​

I hope that writing honestly about my own life will not only help me activate positive feelings and deactivate the negatives but also help others come to terms with their own problems.
