Jessie went on to explain that many of her loved ones had at least somewhat guessed that she might have one of these diagnoses, and that she had also always known “to some degree” about herself. She added that having a child brought some of her symptoms to the surface and led to her diagnosis, which she shared with the public.

“It's weird when you know you're a little different and you've always felt different, and then one day, when you least expect it, someone really explains why and you can't avoid it,” the pop star continued.
“It made me rethink my whole life. The way I am, the way I deal with things. The relationships I've had. How I work, how I love.
She continued, “I love myself more, I embrace my 11 year old self. I clean my trainer with a toothbrush when I get stressed, and to this day, I live with a list of 1,000 things to do so that I don't feel like my life is falling apart.
“Here's to knowing myself more throughout my life. And loving yourself all the time. Nothing in life defines us but it helps us grow and become a healthier version of ourselves.”
Singer Paloma Faith said, “I have ADHD too. It's a super power.
