Tune into part two of my interview with Lois as we delve in deeper into the world of being a girl with ADHD and emotional dysregulation struggles. Although it is difficult we attempt to expel some myths and let people know that it is nothing to be ashamed of. We also share some personal stories and laugh and almost cry along with some tips.

Being ADHD and/or having OCD is bloody complicated (see what I did there?)! Especially when you throw periods and PMS into the mix. Well, Claire, Lois and I are here to de-stigmatise Periods/PMS and neurodivergence. In today’s episode we discuss our experiences with emotional dysregulation due to PMS and how it impacts our ADHD and/or OCD. Is it a venting session? Kind of, is it informative? Absolutely! Enjoy part one of this episode.

ADHD Decoded is back! Today’s episode is nostalgic and musical! I am going to be discussing the wonderful Maria von Trapp from the musical/movie The Sound of Music. I regard her as a female ADHD icon with her energetic, forgetful, impulsive, and musical ways. She is proof that when one’s strengths and creativity are encouraged and developed they have the ability to excel in life. In fact, I also discuss how creativity, specifically in ADHD girls is so important.

Not this, but that…But sometimes OCD and ADHD mimic each other…. And sometimes people with ADHD also have OCD and the symptoms get mixed up and misread, they complement each other too much. Maybe that’s why my lovely friend Claire & I get along so well and can empathise with our neurodiverse struggles and quirks. Well today, you get to see us in action as Claire shares her experience with having OCD, her relationship towards it, school and how much we love true crime. Tune into part one of this joyous and informative sometimes loud conversation about two fascinating disorders!

If I were a rich ADHDER, I would access medication and therapy for free ♩ Haven’t heard that song, yeah for some reason a lot of people just forget that being ADHD is very expensive and difficult. This episode is an ode, a lament, and a call to action about the inaccessible, neurotypical and sometimes classist systems we have in place that prevent people with ADHD from living healthy lives. This episode also acts as directory for free, accessible, affordable, and effective ADHD resources.
