Explore every episode of the podcast You, me & ADHD

*Trigger Warning* - in this episode I discuss the consequences of late or undiagnosed ADHD. I discuss sensitive topics such as self harm, substance abuse and suicide so please prioritise your mental health and bare that in mind before deciding to listen. I know it’s a difficult conversation, but it shouldn’t be and that’s why I feel like it is so important to have these conversations so that they’re more ‘the norm’. The episode does end on a positive so, if you do decide to listen, be sure to stick with me as I ramble on. Remember, I am on this journey for the first time myself and opening these doors for the first time. I am only human and am trying to simply raise awareness and remove the misunderstood stereotypes and stigmas attached to ADHD. So pour yourself a cup of tea and join me…

In this episode I ramble off on a tangent about my main adhd symptoms - I brush over things such as: hyperfocus, memory, impulsiveness, concentration (or lack of) and procrastination! I also talk abit about how I cope, or don’t cope, with my symptoms. I’m no Doctor, adhd coach or medical professional! Just a woman with a late diagnosis, trying to raise awareness and share my experiences! Explicit content warning!! I am a little sweary in this episode and drop the odd S bomb. These podcasts are intended for adult listeners only!

In this episode I share my personal experience of my adhd diagnosis journey through the NHS. There were certain aspects that I wish I’d have known about before seeking my diagnosis and areas I felt unprepared for. I am not a life coach; I am just sharing my experiences in the hope to raise awareness and help others :)

In this first episode I briefly touch on what adhd is and discuss two aspects of adhd: executive functioning and dopamine. I explain abit about myself and how I came to receive my diagnosis of combined adhd as well as offering some of my personal tips for coping with certain aspects of my adhd which I hope can help others!
