    #162 How women manage or hide their ADHD for decades without knowing it

    Back when I was considering that perhaps ADHD could explain – well, me – I started a document called ‘Reverse engineering my life’ where I wrote all the different ways I did not display obvious ADHD traits. With this list I was trying to prove to myself that ADHD couldn’t be the explanation for what I found difficult, for what I had been criticised for or made to feel was disappointing about myself, because the real explanation was that it was a failing on my part, I was just a bit crap. Instead the document revealed the many, many coping mechanisms I had been using for decades which took vast amounts of energy and left me regularly exhausted and overwhelmed. In this episode I’m sharing some of the ways that women, often sensitive, introverted, perfectionist people-pleasers, try to manage or hide their ADHD features for decades before realising their neurodivergence.

    #160 A formula for managing your own inconsistency

    Something I hear ADHDers talking about a lot is how frustrating they find their own inconsistency. How one day, or week, you’re focused, productive, you’re ticking things off, making great progress, firing on all cylinders, getting things done. But then the next day, seemingly out of the blue, you’re completely unfocused, you don’t know what to do next, you can’t summon the energy or motivation or brain power to do any of the things you were doing and generally just faff around not getting anywhere. It’s infuriating and feeds into an old story we’ve taken on that we can’t be relied upon, that we can’t rely on ourselves because of our inconsistency. In this episode I share what’s really going on here and a three-step formula for how to deal with what is seen as inconsistency and erratic energy. If what I share in this podcast resonates with you and you’re looking for support go to gabrielletreanor.com. And if you’d like to share this or any of my podcast episodes on social media or with your friends or family that would help more quiet ADHDers to know they’re not alone too.

    #159 ADHD – what's in a label?

    A question that can be asked when you’re talking with someone about your ADHD suspicions or suggesting you might pursue a diagnosis is: “What do you need a label for?” That one question can feel like a shut down of this new, fragile and seismic realisation about yourself and your life to date. The real question is, what other labels have you been carrying around with you for decades and what’s been their impact on you?

    #158 October is ADHD Awareness Month: Myths and misunderstandings about ADHD

    During this ADHD Awareness Month I have been revisiting past episodes and sharing one a week to give more explanation and hopefully create more understanding about ADHD experienced by late-discovered, more introverted and sensitive women. I’ve shared what ADHD looks like for women who have made it through decades of their lives with no idea they have ADHD, why there seems to be a tsunami of women in midlife getting diagnoses, what an ADHD brain can really feel like, and this time I’m addressing some of the common myths and misunderstandings about ADHD that get in the way of people really getting what it is. If what I share in this podcast resonates with you and you’re looking for support go to gabrielletreanor.com. And if you’d like to share this or any of my podcast episodes on social media or with your friends or family that would help more quiet ADHDers to know they’re not alone too.

    #157 October is ADHD Awareness Month: What it’s like inside an ADHDer’s brain

    As October is ADHD Awareness Month I’m doing things slightly differently this month on the podcast. Instead of releasing episodes every two weeks, during October I’m popping up each week with a revisit to a past episode focusing on what ADHD looks like for women who have made it through decades of their lives with no idea they have ADHD, why there seems to be a tsunami of women in midlife getting diagnoses, what an ADHD brain can really feel like and some of the myths and misunderstandings about ADHD. Here I’m revisiting a previous episode where I share what it’s like inside an ADHDer’s brain, what’s going on in that differently-wired brain that goes some way to explain some of the feelings and behaviours you might see on the outside. Resources: * If what I’m sharing resonates with you I’d love to hear from you, email me gabrielle@gabrielletreanor.com. * Read my posts about the experience of a midlife, late-discovered ADHD woman here. * Find out more about the Quiet ADHD Club and join here. * You can find more info including my coaching services on my website here.
