Ellie Middleton said “I thought everyone was just as drained as I was after an eight-hour day in the office. I would go home, I would basically have to lie in a dark room and scroll, and I’d struggle to have the energy to eat.
Learning the way my brain works has changed everything for me. My battery is smaller than everyone else’s. It’s realising that actually, every single day for the rest of my life I’m going to have to carefully manage my energy, because If I don’t, I get burnt out. I’m looking forward to continuing to learn more about myself as my unmasking journey continues.”
