🎄 HAPPY DECEMBER BEAUTIFUL ADHD BESTIES!

Our gorgeous listener from the UK opens the episode for us and we're taking wrong exits and accidentally lying at the drive through.

A big thank you to everyone who tagged us in your Spotify wrapped 🥹❤️

DILEMMA: “I feel under appreciated in my friendship and I can’t stop the RSD”

We discuss:

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) in friendships and how it affects our relationships.
How self-trust in ADHD can be challenging but is key to managing emotional responses.
The difficulty of letting go of RSD completely while learning to create mental space and teach our brains to pause the emotional reactions.
Building confidence in our ability to assess social interactions and not allowing others to have control over our emotional responses.

IREGGY SEGGY:

We play the very simply named “PMDDDestroy” where Grace tests Tara’s Premenstrual rage with some of the most rage-inducing concepts you can think of. Think: clapping when the plane lands, Shepherd avocados and 49-bazillion unread/irrelevant messages in the group chat.

RECS:

Grace recommends a great game to entertain your kids at dinner (that doubles as a way to document your kids/family life and special memories)
Tara is recommending 'pétillant naturel' sparkling wine ("pet nat"), specifically Dirt Temple’s Pet Nat

Our brains are melting 🫠 with the INSANITY that is the end of year in Australia. The school year is finishing, with rehearsals, concerts, teacher gifts, awards and reports right before Christmas, followed by a 6 week holiday break with our kids home in the sweltering heat. It’s madness. Sooo, we are having a break from our Thurs eps until January... BUT we will continue posting weekly episodes on Patreon, so sign up here if you’re gonna get FOMO (or request as a Xmas gift!)

Sending so so much love and we can't WAIT to be back in your GORGEOUS little neurodivergent ears in January!

Tara & Grace xx

Don't RSD x 10000
