In this episode, I discuss my absolute lack of assertion as an ADHDer and how I struggle to have difficult conversations or voice what I need due to a fear of being judged. I also talk about another mental breakdown (#2,357 this year) and how it’s affected me.

In this episode, I discuss how ADHD can effect your ability to adapt to change on both large and small scales. I talk about my crippling levels of indecisiveness and how I struggle to make even the smallest of decisions. I also delve deeper into what other people may perceive as self-obsession, but is in fact the opposite.

In this episode I discuss the relationship between hyperactivity, anxiety, lethargy and shame, and what drives these behaviours. I explain why people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder are medicated with stimulants (Aren’t you hyper enough already? People ask!) and how it works. I also talk about my most recent medication review and what I have taken from the experience.

In this episode I discuss how common it is to come across other people who devalue your ADHD diagnosis, and how to overcome this. I also talk about binge eating and drinking, and how this has changed since being on the medication. I end the podcast by delving into what exactly makes me go ‘cold’ with somebody and how expectations can make me crumble. There’s a ripper of an analogy in there too 🙌.

In this episode, I discuss my complete inability to ever learn from my mistakes and my *ground breaking* (Definitely a personal opinion!) discoveries as to why this is. I delve deeper into my emotional needs, how I react when they aren’t met, and my brain’s automatic response to ‘fill the void’. I speak lots about dissociation and how this reflex response is my self-protection defence, often causing the issues in my life to metastasise and blow up!

In this episode, I discuss how I often will jump from one relationship or excitement to the next, due to my irrational fear of being alone and an incapability to relax. I also talk about how I always want what everyone else has and how I’m a sucker for peer pressure and FOMO!
