- In a disappointing end-of-year special, the last extra Friday episode of 2023 look back at the past year personally and in terms of how the year has gone for the ADHD community. Alex, James, and Mrs ADHD attempt to answer more questions from YOU, our listeners, and look forward (really?) to 2024. Mrs ADHD has an embarrassing hello, Alex birdwatches while on ‘the chase' and James is ‘Podcast Daddy’...
I fecking loved Sam's genius 'vultures' comment to Alex & his reaction. Thanks so much for everything folks. You're amazeballs in a shit kinda way!!!!!
It was a good one 😂
Thank you ❤️❤️
You guys make me feel normal. ❤
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Think abother was important change is in schools. Particularly CAHMS and associated teams for kids. Girls in particular.
As todays kids are tomorrows "adults". They dont get offered therapy easily too. Waiting lists as bad as adults.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - waiting for a diagnoses and hopefully medication.
I struggle with extreme highs where I talk very fast, can't stop moving, want to do "something" but am unable to do anything (due to being so fidgety and thoughts going wild) I will blurt out everything and anything that comes to mind (in conversation or to myself) and feel like I'm going to explode. I will get into bed and thrash my body around as much as possible and for as long as possible to try and drain my energy. Only to then re-energise. I have tourettes which becomes much worse when I'm in this state. Do you have any advice/tips as to how I can try to manage this better?
This can happen at any point, even if I am exhausted and should be ready to sleep.
P.s. are you able talk about ADHD and tourettes being linked in one of your videos? (Do any of you or anyone you know have tourettes with ADHD?)
I would also like to thank you all so much for your content, it has helped myself, my sister and my boyfriend to understand our ADHD so much better and each others. You personally give me hope for my future where I have often felt helpless. Being in the mental health system since the age of 10 and having a diagnoses of OCD, I have been through various therapies (none of them mentioning ADHD) and felt like I was going insane. Without any other diagnoses apart from my OCD, myself and my therapists have pondered the thought of myself having a variety of mental illnesses. However, I now realise I have ADHD with symptoms rather than as storm of illnesses.
Although my symptoms are still the same and remain unmanaged, I feel a sense of relief. Rather than possibly having 101 mental illnesses (which feel so overwhelming and hard to distinguish) I can gather them together underneath the umbrella which is ADHD.
I hope this all makes sense and doesn't overwhelm the reader.
Happy New Year from North Wales x
You are shitting me. It's not just me who always misspells Brian as brain on emails?I thought it was the bloody keyboard.
Great episode as always. Thanks
Could post natal depression be late linked to ADHD?
James and mrs ADHD do you thinkthe gene thing was worth getting? Did it help you?
Thank you! Any DNA analysis (23 and Me or Ancestry) is useful to a point (and expensive)so I guess it’s a personal choice? ❤️
@@theadhdadults Thank you. Yeah it's just the cost. I've seen these other tests where it analyses genes to find meds to suit. And also Dutch tests for my hormones. Dunno if that's maybe taking it to extreme.
