ADHD AF

Episode 3: Self-care, Struggles and Shame


Listen Later

Following on from the poll we posted on our @adhdasfemales insta story, we discuss the very questions those that participated so kindly answered.
We expose how ADHD has caused us both to struggle with consistent self-care routines. We felt very vulnerable discussing some of these topics, due to shame.  The honesty of the poll entrants showed us that we are not alone; which gave us the courage to talk about these common issues that many people with ADHD have.

After exploring topics such as hygiene. dental appointments, and financial struggles, we revisit the weekly segment of ‘differences’.  This time with the theme of self-care, before concluding with ‘the most ADHD thing we have done this week.’

We tried and failed to shorten the episode length, but we've decided to practice what we preach: self-compassion. This is how it's working for us right now, and bizarrely, each episode is almost exactly the same length!
We hope you enjoy it.  Feel free to share any feedback... and hit those stars! :)
