Krysta Grainger: My Ducks Are Not in a Row and Now There's a Fucking Otter, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Ever wondered why everyone else seems to be coping better than you are?

Why your brain can remember something completely useless from twenty years ago but not where you put your phone three minutes ago? Why one minute you're functioning like a reasonably capable adult and the next you're overstimulated, overthinking a thumbs-up emoji and wondering whether you've accidentally pissed everyone off?

And then perimenopause turns up and apparently decides there wasn't already enough going on.

My Ducks Are Not in a Row and Now There's a Fucking Otter is a funny, raw and unfiltered exploration of AuDHD, perimenopause and the glorious mess that happens when neurodivergence, hormones and everyday life collide.

Blending lived experience, accessible science, humour and a healthy amount of swearing, Krysta Grainger explores hyperfocus, working memory, sensory overload, masking, rejection sensitivity, relationships, people-pleasing, burnout, overthinking, emotional intensity and the deeply unsettling experience of suddenly thinking, I don't feel like me anymore.

This isn't a clinical textbook, and it isn't a perfectly polished story from someone who has everything figured out. It's the conversation so many women wish they'd had earlier - honest, messy, funny and reassuringly human.

For every woman who's ever felt too much, not enough, or completely overwhelmed.

Your ducks don't have to be in a row.

Sometimes there's just a fucking otter.
