040. ADHD & being a phantom thief

hello friends! <3 in this podcast episode, i talk about ADHD, building new systems, and fighting against apathy. (i feel like i've used this exact metaphor in a previous podcast but it's still relevant!!! so!!) I hope you like it! I love you dearly xx

Executive dysfunction! Where you have all this motivation and know what you want to achieve, but you either just... Can't do it for no apparent reason or whatever you're doing to achieve it doesn't seem to be working! My friend has ADHD but she displays in a more stereotypical way... But my research has me thinking I might have adult ADHD. The issue is that a lot of the symptoms are also that of depression and anxiety so it's really hard to tell haha. I've started going to therapy and after a bit she will decide if I should see a psychiatrist and we'll hopefully finally have an answer. But I totally relate to you so hard. Also, don't ever think you talk about your mental health too much - it honestly helps so much to hear someone else experiencing things so similar to what I do, and I'm sure others feel the same.

Listening a little late, but your goodbyes are always so incredibly heartfelt, Cheyenne. I feel as if though we're having a conversation, so much so I found myself verbally gasping along or asking you to tell us more before you did. When you express your appreciation, I can feel it. You're that strong of a communicator. Thank you for all you do! It's an honor to be your patron bud. 🥰🌼

I'm only 6 minutes in but wow, this is hitting me in the heart. I know you probably didn't intend on this but it feels so refreshing to hear someone verbalize how I feel. I am also a freelancer and this past week has been HARD! It's been on and off hard for months now. The more I have learned about ADHD the more I want to do a screening but I am way too afraid to ask my doctor. This gave me a little bit of courage. Anyways, I hope you're staying warm and safe! Sending love ❤️

I remember when I got my adhd diagnosis and how daunting it is. But I can’t tell you just how like...relieving it is to finally have an answer to why my brain does the things it does. I hope you find comfort in that too as you start this journey and that the Wellbutrin works out! I take it as well and it literally helps me get out of bed in the morning. I’m so happy you’re focusing on yourself and getting to know yourself better and I’m sending you lots of love!! ❤️❤️

I really appreciate you sharing this, I feel very much the same way in terms of not knowing what I am doing and I am 28. and everyone seems to have their shit together besides me.

Thank you so much for sharing your feelings with us. It is so comforting to hear your voice and to hear you be so real. Please ,please don't be so hard on yourself. I know it is easier said than done. You are such a beautiful soul and I know someday you will be more gentle with yourself, mainly because you are working so hard. Have a wonderful rest of the week! Hugs to Sophie and Connor and you of course!

I felt that "oh, fuck." when you forgot what you were saying halfway through chatting about Notion IN MY SOUL.
