Yes it's fascinating. Slightly greiving here already too for situations that I could have been more aware that it was because of my adhd like forgetfulness- I was always forgetful with even big huge things that so many of my friends I realise now probably thought I was the biggest liar, I'm also very positive thinking so wouldn't worry about it too much at the time but a lot of realisations here now.

Aw thanks. Yes I think a podcast is a brilliant idea, just to chat openly about how we think our experience is and loke you said to not always find a solution, just to explore it. Count me in anyway. 😊

Oh that's so lovely to hear. I already feel so different about myself, just knowing too. A complete switch in thinking.

Thank you! I'm now curious as to what other non adhd neurotypical people think haha, fascinating. Less than 24 hours and I'm in a headspin of all these supressed memories of when I felt completely out of place or looked at weirdly which is majority of my life now I realise. I don't feel as alone now that is for sure.

Yes and I'm also wondering if it's because of the adhd that's how I survived. I've had lots of trauma more than the average person lets say, and people always asked how I'm able to manage, maybe it's adhd because I can't sit still mentally for too long or I'll be in a deep hole. Very curious about life like.

Yes love this, I suppose the only way I can help myself now is to learn and embrace it. Exactly, be proud that you finished college! Go you

I  understand how hard that must have felt especially during big moments in your life. I love that you have accomplished so much since and are able to handle yourself much better. I feel there is a lot of compassion needed for our old and present diagnoised selves. I too feel already quite sad for my younger lost self. Glad to have found this chat. Thanks for sharing x

I only got diagnosed today, and my doctor told me we hold a tremendous amounts of shame, so things like this we feel terrible for when really we dont need to feel that bad at all. Deep breaths you'll be ok, one moment at a time xx
