ADHD AF

Episode15: Helen Anderson


Listen Later

We are so grateful to Helen Anderson for joining us on the late ADHD diagnosis rollercoaster, and so excited to share this insightful and hilarious interview with an absolute powerhouse!

Helen humbly introduces herself as an ‘Internet Person’ (ADHDers tend to self deprecate)
Helen is in fact an internet sensation!

She has an ENORMOUS online following of her YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/helenmelonlady which she began vlogging on a decade ago. 
Her straight- talking, no BS attitude, body positivity, hilarious reels and rock n roll style have gained her an equally gargantuan following on Instagram: @helenanderz 
Helen has also created an online shop: @sweetsweethoneydew for ‘Rock n Rollin’ self lovers and loathers’. 
To top it all off, she is the lead singer of the band: @sunny.bones - their new EP, ‘This Hell Called Home’ is out now! 

It’s hard to imagine that a woman this driven could suffer with RSD,  task paralysis, low self esteem and the other struggles that hold so many ADHDers back… but don’t believe everything you see, or rather perceive on social media…
Helen Anderson is ADHD AF! 

Very recently diagnosed at the age of 31.
Massive thank you to the absolute legend that is Helen for sharing her struggles and experiences, that so many will relate to (us included!) and for the pearls which we will treasure. 
Enjoy! 

*Trigger warning* as ever this episode contains strong language. 
We discuss some sensitive topics such as depression, anxiety, unsympathetic strangers (ie internet trolls) family and romantic relationship struggles, and low self esteem.
We also voice some potentially controversial opinions. Please note, that we are not experts or medical professionals, just three women who battled through life with undiagnosed brain disorders,  desperately hoping to influence change to save others from suffering for as long as we have.
