Life After An ADHD Diagnosis with Sooby Lynch How To Fall Apart

    • Society & Culture

How To Fall Apart is a podcast about picking up the pieces.



This is our first episode in quite awhile, so maybe just a reminder, this is a podcast of conversations with people who have been through something challenging, about how they coped, and also the times that they struggled to cope, and what that felt like.



From now on I'm going to be putting this podcast out first and foremost through my new substack, also called How to Fall Apart, where my writing will also sit. Most episodes with be available on all the usual podcast platforms, although some episodes may partly, or entirely, be behind the Substack paywall and available only to my Substack subscribers.



So with that business end of things out of the way, I'd like to introduce my guest this week. Sooby Lynch, who you may know from her beautiful instagram account, @Standingbythewall, talks to me about getting a diagnosis of ADHD in your forties. We discuss what led her to the point of getting a diagnosis, going through that process, how it gave her a new understanding of herself, and learning a new way to live and not be too hard on yourself.



If you know Sooby, you'll know she is the most generous, supportive of people, and I am so grateful to her for sharing her story here for the first time. I hope you enjoy our conversation



If you enjoyed this conversation and would like to hear more, or read the How to Fall Apart column, you can go to my Substack, How To Fall Apart.
