Fern Buckingham is no stranger to chaos. Diagnosed with ADHD in 2021, she has since learned to manage her days effectively as a customer service agent at bg电子娱乐场. She has developed routines that help her navigate the busiest times, during which her organizational skills often prove invaluable to her colleagues, sometimes even more than to herself.

Your diagnosis says ADHD, but how would you describe it yourself?

Fern: To be honest, I'm quite a mixed bag. Outwardly, I'm very outgoing, which is what people see when they first meet me. But I've always felt different inside. Since my diagnosis, I've begun to understand why. It's still a struggle but having set routines has significantly structured my work and, essentially, my life.

How do routines help you settle down?

Fern: They're crucial for me. I arrive at work 20 minutes early, grab a cup of tea or coffee, set up my computer, and spend five minutes reading a book before diving into my emails and urgent tasks. This little ritual helps me transition into work mode. Without it, I'd be easily sidetracked by distractions around me.

How did you feel before your diagnosis, and what was different?

Fern: I joined bg电子娱乐场 in 2020, right before the pandemic hit, and the transition to working from home was challenging. It felt like I was bubbling under the surface while appearing calm. That's when I realized something was off. The journey to my ADHD diagnosis was a revelation. I've always put a lot of effort into my work, but now, with my diagnosis and routines, I'm not just working hard; I'm working smart. The support from my colleagues and bg电子娱乐场 has been instrumental in this change.

Would you recommend others to be open about their diagnoses like ADHD?

Fern: Absolutely. Discussing our differences, diagnosis or not, benefits everyone. It improves our work and interactions. My colleagues understand my needs better, like why I use noise-canceling headphones or have a thermal mug for my often-forgotten coffee. Openness leads to a more supportive and effective work environment.
