  • 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?
