    Hi Bestiessss – It’s another SPECIAL throwback episode from the early days of our PATRE0N!This episode is juicy AF and is packed with friendship dilemmas and vulnerable conversations about ADHD that we know so many of you will relate to.First up, we answer a Patreon listener question: Grace shares a bit about her AuDHD diagnosis journey (and what that’s looked like over time). Tara talks through her own exploration of neurodiversity and why she feels she sits more in the ADHD-only camp.DIVERGENT DILEMMAS:💌 “My friend needs time to decide whether she wants to continue our friendship and I can’t handle the rejection.”- We talk about our old babe Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), friendship limbo, and why ghosting hits differently when you’re neurodivergent.- We also discuss why women with ADHD are way more likely to experience emotional highs and lows in friendships – and how we can soften the shame and start building safer emotional habits.💌“Help! When I’m not nearby friends and family, I find it impossible to stay in contact.”- Classic ‘out of sight, out of mind’ struggle! - We chat about the emotional spiral that comes from not replying, plus gentle hacks to help you stay connected even when your brain is on ✨airplane mode✨.Don’t forget to grab our FREE Emoji Texting Guide – low effort ways to show you care, even when words feel impossible: https://adhdbesties.com/download-free-emoji-guideLOVE ALWAYS!Tara & Grace xx(don’t RSD -come on, you should know this by now)----------------------------🦋 WANT MORE ADHD BESTIES?

    Hiii neurodivergent dreamboats 💖We have a special treat for you today - a full episode straight from our Patreon vault... if you've ever wondered what an ADHD diagnosis is like, or if you're going through the process yourself right now, this ep is for you!A year ago our little Gracie-babe went to see a psychiatrist to get diagnosed with ADHD. She'd been diagnosed 18 months before by a psychologist, but she needed to get re-diagnosed with a psychiatrist to get meds. Because the appointment was in the city (a 3 hr drive away) Tara body-doubled with Grace and drove her there... and they recorded a 'diary' documenting all the emotional rollercoaster feels before, during and after the appointment.Want more unfiltered eps like this?

  • 46. "I LOSE MY GRIP ON REALITY!" 🫨 ADHD, PMDD, mood-swings & hormones (feat. Emma from @emmasmindovermatter)
    Hello tiniest ADHD babies 💁‍♀️WE ARE OFFICIALLY BACKKKK TO OUR LIVE WEEKLY EPS!! (Grace has been away on holiday for 3 weeks and Tara has been a shell of a human without her, obvs) This week we're bringing you an interview with content creator and AuDHD advocate Emma Llewellyn (@emmasmindovermatter) all about PMDD - which is pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder. This topic is one that we get asked about often, so we wanted to do a deep dive with Emma, who raises awareness about PMDD frequently on her Instagram, and is always so real, raw and honest.PMDD is a disorder that causes psychological and physical symptoms in the days and weeks before a person gets their period (the luteal phase). People who have ADHD are more likely to have PMDD than those who do not, possibly due to especially low levels of dopamine relating to ADHD.We discuss:• how it feels to have PMDD and how it can impact our lives, moods, relationships, jobs, energy levels and more • how Emma realised she had PMDD and her journey being diagnosed• how PMDD exacerbates emotions like rage, anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, low self-esteem and shame• what 'PMDD survival mode' feels like and how communicating our needs to our partners or friends can reduce resentment and blame• the dysphoric aspect of PMDD means you barely recognise yourself during the luteal phase (which can feel quite scary/like a loss of control), and this can be very confusing and disheartening• More information on PMDD & support hereRECS 🤌• Tara is recommending a show called 'Please Like Me', written by Josh Thomas and featuring comedians like Hannah Gadsby. The dramedy tackles sensitive topics like mental health and neurodivergence while also being v. funny. • Grace is recommending a Netflix show she can’t stop bingeing called ‘The Lady’s Companion’ which is essentially what you’d get if Bridgerton and Jane the Virgin had a baby. 👼We will be back in your DIVINE little neurodivergent ears next Thursdayyyy, and until then don't RSD (especially when you have PMDD bby girl 💣💥) G-baby and Ta xx----------------------------🦋 WANT MORE ADHD BESTIES?
