Your ADHD Besties

Hello stunning little neurodivergent brains 

On the pod this week Grace is guilt peeing and panic flushing... meanwhile Tara is finally not bogarting the eventful weeks, and ALSO she does like musicals and needs everyone to know it.

💌 Dilem lem lem: 
“I feel like due to being ADHD, I’m behind in life and not achieving milestones other people are. Have you girls ever felt like this? Will I ever catch up?”

We discuss: 

  • ADHDers/neurodivergent people often take unique paths, and that's okay.
  • Why comparing ADHDers to neurotypical milestones is unhelpful.
  • Why getting your driver's license can be an overwhelming thing for ADHDers.
  • We MUSE 🤔 that ADHDers may own fewer homes or be less financially set by 40, but do we avoid midlife crises?
  • Embracing the person we are now, separate from our underdeveloped prefrontal cortex days.


🤌 RECS:

  • Tara is recommending at-home clothes dye (in the washing machine - sooo ADHD friendly)
  • Grace is recommending getting the app for your TV remote (because she's losing hers constantly)
  • We also mention 'Top 5 regrets of the dying' by Bronnie Ware


🦋 Ireggy Seggy: RSDelightful (Part 2!)

We share what you guys have been RSDing about (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria). We’re being kicked while we’re down, we’re being sexy worms, we’re leaving our windscreen wiper tanks dry and we’re giving automechanic advice (again, sorry).

We will be back in your gorgeous little tiny ND ears next Thursday as always!

We bloody love you and we bloody hope you don’t RSD okay?

T and G xxxx
