Hey this is Larry. I'm getting my pod-cast going. I don't know where I'll go with it, but I've been talking about it so now I'm doing it.
I'll focus on topics associated with a few things important to me: Mental Health, Routine, Fitness, DIY project, current Affairs, some History, and my constantly evolving / sometimes expensive interests.
Lets get to it.

The Best Men; Suicide Awareness
This is a one off, but I couldn't resist. I had to talk about it. Suicide is hard on everyone. If it's on your mind, hit me up. We've all been there.
Talk to your friends. Keep a look out for the signs. If someone says the world might be better off with out them, assure them it wouldn't be. This isn't a time for criticism, these people need us. No soldier left behind doesn't end on the battlefield. Check your buddy.

ROUTINE: ADHD & STRUCTURE
Routines are not easy.
Especially with ADHD. Our bodies thrive on structure. If we can find the consistencies in our behavior and environment, we'll be able to unlock unbelievable clarity in our life. -
MEDICATED: ADHD LMNOP; THIS ONES FOR EVERYBODY
Maybe this was something everyone knew but me.
When we start taking a new medication it's important that we try to remain as neutral as possible. Avoid sugars, caffeine, alcohol, etc. for a few weeks. I know it isn't ideal. Adding supplements which alter the effect of the drug will not permit us to get a true assessment of the medication's intended effect. Doing otherwise could result in a lot of headache and repetitious treatment variations. -
MY DIAGNOSIS: CHILD & ADULT ADHD
I've been tested numerous times throughout my life.
Testing is rarely fun but it's part of it and it's essential. If you're having struggles in life which have you considering reaching out for support, expect to dace some scrutiny. Don't be alarmed or discouraged. Get some real answers so you can develop the most efficient version of you. -
What is ADHD? Why does it matter?
This is a new season. I'll be discussing living with ADHD and all things considered. If you are/know someone with ADD/ADHD, her me out.
I am not a pro. This is not Self Help. This is a 30 something talking about what this thing is like. We need to break the barriers with talking these things out. I'm here to do that.
