Living Differently with ADHD

In this episode I talk about times in my life where I have asked myself "What's the point?" It is time to change my mindset and look at challenges in life differently and have positive outlook on life. I also talked about how I have boundaries I need in my life due to my ADHD and being an empath. Lastly, the episode ends by talking about how difficult it is to advocate for yourself and the troubles I have had doing so.

Two symptoms that have a huge effect on a person with ADHD are emotional disregulation and rejection sensitivity. These are things that people with other mental health disorders experience as well. This episode talks about what these two terms mean and how it affects my life, specifically with having ADHD. I also mention in the episode how I know most episodes have been about ADHD lately but this is what I am still learning as of recent as my diagnosis was just this year. I do plan to have more episodes soon about other disabilities and the disability community as a whole. Thanks for the support! Please share this podcast with your friends and family.

This episode is about my personal story including how I started having obvious ADHD symptoms showing as a child and then how my anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts manifested into my life. I want to normalize talking about these types of issues and helping people who feel they have no one to turn to. It is time to talk about suicide and help others before they reach that point.

This episode discusses infantilization and discrimination of people who are disabled and the struggles that go along with this. Lots of times people have no idea they are even doing this but they are. It is time to stop treating disabled people like children and treat them with respect.

Today I talk about the medication I have taken and currently take and breaking the stigma towards medication and stereotypes. I also think it's important to normalize mental health treatment with doctors and therapists. The brain is an organ like any other, if not more important. It's time to normalize getting help.
