Adult ADHD/ASD: My Journey of Self-Discovery and Co-Occurring Diagnoses

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 🙌.

Episode 18 - The ‘Impressive’ Lack of Ability To Learn From One’s Mistakes, Distractibility, and Living in a Self-Created Internal Universe

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!

Episode 20 - ‘I’m Sorry’: the Relationship Between Hyperactivity, Anxiety, Lethargy and Shame

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.
