    I never masked very well and when I tried to mask I just bombed horrifically. I understand that I don't need to go to weddings, dinner parties, xmas celebrations, or airports. I stopped trying to force myself into their normie world where I was fucking miserable.

      It’s a really powerful thing to realise you don’t have to go to those places 🙌

    WTF James you have 2 drinks going on there. i have to assume that the cup of tea is from last week . . .🤢🤪
    Thankyou Mrs ADHD for joining the show, your laugh should be available as a ringtone.
    And Alex please do more of your insulting and creepy Aussie accents for me, your last attempt made my day!

    Omg I go to the bathroom ALL THE TIME to get away from sensory overload. Plus these damn meds make me drink a lot of water. I feel called out.

    I stumbled across your podcast on Spotify a few weeks ago now, have watched a good chunk of them and only just today noticed that it says "with" Mrs ADHD and Mrs ADHD's head at the bottom of the photograph of the two of you! How that passed me by I have no idea! 😂 Anyway love your videos. It's very interesting to (possibly) learn more about myself as one of the many many undiagnosed. Keep up the good work!

      We only changed it yesterday! Public demand as opposed to James and Alex wanting it 😂

    I decided to take an Elvanse capsule this morning instead of my Concerta XL. Had some left after a 4 day trial last year. After about an hour I was up and focused on sorting out books, DVDs etc to declutter. Just what I don't get with Concerta (although that has removed fidgeting and impulse buying). The ADHD clinic take weeks/months to respond and getting to see my own GP is proving impossible. I'm not asking for advice. I just wanted to tell someone. *I did a lot of research so didn't just swap on a whim.

    I absolutely love listening to these, still not sure if I'm ADD but I will continue to listen because you make me feel "normal"

    I bloody love you three, especially Mrs ADHD. I feel very similar to her. Talking of masking, I realised I actually created a full body mask which only cracked when I was 17. I still mask but I think unmasking comes with age

      @@theadhdadults Kiddy got slaughtered. Stay in bed, Bob. KL 3 - Kiddy 0. Lost my sunglasses, offered my scarf to a cold looking woman in a mobility scooter who reacted like I was trying to rob her and then followed directions from a policewoman which got me as lost as my sunglasses. Not only that, I got on a train to London and I wasn't even going to London. Oh dear.
