A ZILLION STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eric’s segment just had me tearing up on the train… we all need an Eric in our lives!!! Love love loooovveee you guys. You were the pod I needed to begin the deep delve/dive on my adult diagnosis. I TRULY thought I tricked my psych provider two years ago when I got my script, thinking it was obviously just the treatment-resistant depression I’d been battling forever. I remember telling my own adhd bestie that I maybe had a “mild” case on the way home from the appointment (she knew lol). The process of rewriting my own self concept has been rough (I thought I wasn’t a sensitive person… I am THE MOST SENSITIVE PERSON!! And love being hyperbolic and that’s totally okay). I’m an only child of two psychologists and work as a psych nurse, so the grief is real and comes in waves. Thank you for talking about the exhausting, traumatic parts too. You guys are an absolute bright spot in the world and in my life, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to hear your unmasked selves in all their glory. Would LOVE to hear an episode exploring stims (with lots of examples so folks can identify the stims we naturally find ourselves doing but don’t know that’s what we’re doing!!) if it’s not already on the docket. I need more!!! Positive reinforcement!!!!!

Grateful & Relatable!

Grateful for these two lovely ladies! They are funny, sweet, and combat negative self talk that might be hiding under the surface. The RSD examples are much more helpful than the internet’s examples. Fun fact: My bff with suspected ADHD called me while you two on the pod were talking about body doubling, to tell me she was so grateful she did a big scary task last time we were on the phone together 😂😂! Can’t wait to listen to more episodes!! Also the rec for Endel is GOLD.

YouTube, I beg of you!

I love you gals. I just found out I have ADHD and ever episode makes me feel seen. I am begging you do record video for YouTube! I can’t pay much attention otherwise because my mind wanders lol
