Hiii adorable ADHD brains
In today's episode:
⢠We share our most ADHD moment of the week (Grace is still stressing about hers!)
⢠Divergent Dilemma #1 - a listener shares that she's embarrassed about her skin picking and feels she needs to hide her hands from her colleagues. We discuss why skin picking and nail biting is an ADHD 'stim', and is very NORMAL and nothing to be ashamed about. Plus we give our tips on how to look after your nails, seek medical help to prevent things getting worse, and be kinder to your gorgeous self.
⢠Divergent Dilemma #2 - a recently diagnosed AuDHDer (an autism & ADHD diagnosis) called "Lonewolf" shares that she has had trouble across her life making and keeping friends. RSD has been debilitating for her and means she can push people away and be sarcastic when she feels excluded. We unpack the big themes in this one, and our Autistic friend Nina, also offers a valuable perspective.
⢠This week's Ireggy Seggy is a brand new one called 'ADHD or NayDHD: The Bird Edition' đŚ where we ponder the extremely overlooked scientific question: which birds are ADHD?
RECOMMENDATIONS:
⢠Grace recommends a genius strategy she's stumbled upon when she needs her husband to explain something boring like finances (spoiler: it actually makes her listen!)
⢠Tara recommends GLAMRDIP nails - a great solution if you want to stop nail biting or skin picking! Do at home, limited chemical smells and ADHD friendly! đ
Enjoyyy, and we'll be back in your đ's next THURSDAY babes!
Your ADHD Besties,
Tara & Grace xx
(don't RSD)
