I&#39;m learning about ADHD, as a newly-diagnosed adult with an internalized (meaning non-hyperactive) form of ADHD. In this podcast, I&#39;ll share what I learn about ADHD in general, and more specifically what it looks like for me, since ADHD can look a little different from person to person. I&#39;m going to delve into the reasons why girls/women/non-cis-guys often get overlooked, and diagnosed with the wrong things, when... actually, it&#39;s ADHD. Welcome to my podcast. It&#39;s personal, it&#39;s candid, and it&#39;s going to take us into all areas of this Canadian&#39;s life.

A look back on 2022, putting it behind me. A lot of us have gotten thrown under the bus by a bad workplace / employer. In this episode, I&#39;m talking about something that happened to me and that took a large chuck of 2022 to sort out. Here&#39;s how it went.

On unemployment, self employment, and troubles with self-doubt &amp; self-esteem.

In this episode, I discuss what it feels like to enjoy a day with heavily reduced ADHD symptoms and, conversely, what it is to have a severe-symptom-day. What can we do on a rough day? Let&#39;s look at how we cope, and at what it is we&#39;re coping with.

Episode 5: ADHD ups and downs, and a license to pivot

In the first half of this episode, I go through the adult ADHD screener (feel free to do it with me, all that&#39;s required are you ears and something to write with/on). In the second half, I discuss in detail my presentation of ADHD (my ADHD symptoms).

Episode 4: Screener & what my ADHD looks like

The process of getting diagnosed can be quite different from one person to the next, for many reasons (because different types of medical professionals can make the diagnosis, because the understanding of ADHD excluded women and girls, by and large, for quite some time and is only now beginning to look at us... which means that there are still many medical professionals who may not be up to date on their knowledge about ADHD... and many other factors). Here&#39;s how it went for me.

Edisode 3: how I got diagnosed...

I struggle with messages. Sometimes, that struggle gets really difficult to overcome, so much that I just can&#39;t. But I want to stay in touch with people. I enjoy it. So why can&#39;t I do it, some days...

Episode 2: it's simple, so why can't I?

In this episode, I introduce myself to you, talk a bit about ADHD and what it looks like in my case, and set up a road map. Future episodes will be focused on more specific topics within the podcast&#39;s theme, and may be longer.
