Many people struggle to see a Psychiatrist to get an ADHD assessment, maybe it's too expensive, perhaps there are long waiting lists, or maybe there is no one in your area who can help.
Whatever the reason behind you not being able to access medical help, there are still things you can do to help yourself deal with the situation.

Masking is a huge issue in ADHD but what is it and how does it impact on us? Well, I'm glad you asked as I was finding it confusing too, so I did some research and now understand it a little better and I explain masking behaviors and why they aren't good for us in this video.

I am so excited to have Jenny De Lacy from Talking Digital as a guest. We talk about what it's like to get an ADHD diagnosis later in life, what her hacks are and why one of my questions made Jenny really question what she thought about having ADHD.

After a bit of an early morning freak out I asked my ADHD community what was going on in my head and they all came back with similar answers, over stimulation and overwhelm. Who knew? Obviously not me.
When I came up from the rabbit hole of reading into it I found out that as people with ADHD we are easily overwhelmed, but how do we identify it and even more important, how do we deal with it?
Here are my ideas of what we can do to help ourselves, I'm not a doctor, so if things are getting too much for you, please speak to your GP or therapist to get some extra help.

I'm joined by the awesome Laura Hopes today. Laura has her own business training recruiters and offering yoga to corporate clients, you can't get much more ADHD than that!
We chat about our issues, why we both think ADHD is a super power and how she manages her hyperactivity.
