In this episode, the sound quality is awful for the first half so massive apologies there! I discuss medication hacks, go off on tangents about amazing inventions I have stored away in my brain and my irrational fear of answering the phone!

In this episode, I fill you with updates into the Land of Katie, cover new theories into ADHD, and cover more to do with the link between a diagnosis and sleep. I’m flappy as anything in this episode and my microphone isn’t the best quality today, so apologies in advance!

In this episode, I discuss more quirks of ADHD, including ‘the ick’, abstinence vs moderation, forming connections to things that aren’t alive… I could go on!! I also offer advice to partners of people with ADHD on how to approach conversations going forward.

In this episode I discuss another side to my personality that is the polar opposite of ADHD, and how I can relate to other personality disorders as much as I can to my current diagnosis.

In this episode, I discuss my absolute lack of assertion as an ADHDer and how I struggle to have difficult conversations or voice what I need due to a fear of being judged. I also talk about another mental breakdown (#2,357 this year) and how it’s affected me.

In this episode, I discuss the unhealthy child-like coping mechanisms that are so common amongst ADHDers and link several of them to my own personal experience. This episode takes on a quiz-like format when discussing these survival techniques, so get your pen and paper ready! I also talk about my ongoing insomnia issues and my first ever schema therapy session.

In this episode, I discuss how ADHD can effect your ability to adapt to change on both large and small scales. I talk about my crippling levels of indecisiveness and how I struggle to make even the smallest of decisions. I also delve deeper into what other people may perceive as self-obsession, but is in fact the opposite.

In this episode I discuss the relationship between hyperactivity, anxiety, lethargy and shame, and what drives these behaviours. I explain why people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder are medicated with stimulants (Aren’t you hyper enough already? People ask!) and how it works. I also talk about my most recent medication review and what I have taken from the experience.

In this episode I discuss how common it is to come across other people who devalue your ADHD diagnosis, and how to overcome this. I also talk about binge eating and drinking, and how this has changed since being on the medication. I end the podcast by delving into what exactly makes me go ‘cold’ with somebody and how expectations can make me crumble. There’s a ripper of an analogy in there too 🙌.

In this episode, I discuss my complete inability to ever learn from my mistakes and my *ground breaking* (Definitely a personal opinion!) discoveries as to why this is. I delve deeper into my emotional needs, how I react when they aren’t met, and my brain’s automatic response to ‘fill the void’. I speak lots about dissociation and how this reflex response is my self-protection defence, often causing the issues in my life to metastasise and blow up!

In this episode, I discuss how I often will jump from one relationship or excitement to the next, due to my irrational fear of being alone and an incapability to relax. I also talk about how I always want what everyone else has and how I’m a sucker for peer pressure and FOMO!

In this episode I dive into relationships and the continual need to please others. Losing yourself, seeking more excitement, becoming unsettled, learning to say NO, and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) are some of the sub-topics that I cover within this umbrella. I talk about my own experiences and what happens to me when the butterflies begin to dissipate and the rose-tinted glasses lose their tint! This episode has some themes that people may find uncomfortable, as I discuss how some...

In this episode I discuss the EXHAUSTING world of having an ‘emotional sixth sense’: the capability to read those around you so astutely, often before they have registered their thoughts and feelings themselves. I talk about the vicious cycle in which you can end up in - your hypersensitivity making others’ withdraw, which in turn makes you hyper-reactive, and so forth, until the situation becomes unbearable - and how the ADHDer’s constant mood swings and emotional overloads can become too...

In this episode I discuss the ever-changing process after getting a diagnosis of ADHD, and the different stages you go through afterwards… Like the seven stages of grief, there are also many stages of emotions, post-diagnosis. There are many analogies used to help me communicate my feelings and experiences, most of which are linked to dinosaurs (sorry!). I share my current hyper-fixation with ADHD and what my next steps are, my lack of order (or abundance of chaos), and many other quirks...

In this episode I discuss my research into my System 1 and System 2 brains (illogical vs logical) as well as into Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria - a lovely little add-on to that emotional instability that many ADHDers struggle with. I share the ‘next steps’ that my journey entails, and the struggle I’m having between marrying up my medicated and unmediated selves. Enjoy!
