| 0:00 | hello and welcome to the ADHD moms |
| 0:02 | podcast I’m your host Jane and I’m here |
| 0:04 | to let you know you are not alone this |
| 0:07 | is a safe place where we can talk openly |
| 0:09 | about our struggles with having ADHD |
| 0:12 | being a mom and dealing with life a |
| 0:14 | little outside the box we are real |
| 0:17 | people with real stories who want to be |
| 0:18 | able to laugh and strive to be better |
| 0:20 | than what we were |
| 0:22 | yesterday my name is Jane mcf and I’m a |
| 0:25 | 36-year-old mom of three who was |
| 0:26 | diagnosed with ADHD a little over a year |
| 0:29 | ago I’m here to help you live out your |
| 0:31 | full potential with a diagnosis or |
| 0:33 | without |
| 0:35 | one I own and run a Telly Health |
| 0:37 | psychology company I’ve worked in and |
| 0:39 | studied psychology for the past 15 years |
| 0:42 | I am passionate about helping others |
| 0:44 | take back their life and have a great |
| 0:46 | time while doing |
| 0:47 | so on this show you can expect to laugh |
| 0:50 | hear vulnerable discussions and learn |
| 0:51 | why things are the way they are for |
| 0:53 | women with ADHD no two humans are the |
| 0:56 | same no two diagnosises are the same and |
| 0:58 | no two stories are the same |
| 1:00 | it’s something that feels really |
| 1:02 | personal and we as Mom seem to find a |
| 1:04 | way to put pressure on ourselves to be |
| 1:06 | perfect to work in a great job to get |
| 1:08 | paid well for and then also be |
| 1:10 | passionate about have a clean tidy home |
| 1:12 | and well-mannered obedient children to |
| 1:15 | have it all can we just drop the |
| 1:18 | expectations because I do not have all |
| 1:20 | of those things and I doubt that you do |
| 1:23 | either we have a whole lot to learn and |
| 1:25 | a whole lot to look forward to on this |
| 1:27 | podcast so let’s get started |
| 1:30 | I got a really great review from |
| 1:32 | somebody and I just wanted to give a |
| 1:33 | shout out to raar Rd iixx LS what a |
| 1:38 | random name they gave me a great review |
| 1:41 | and talked about how relatable they felt |
| 1:43 | the podcast was their messages that I’m |
| 1:46 | getting is that’s what people want I |
| 1:49 | will share something that I think could |
| 1:50 | be something that maybe the ADHD moms |
| 1:52 | can relate to it’s around rejection and |
| 1:56 | shame so recently a fair few of |
| 1:59 | psychology and I’m not a psychologist I |
| 2:01 | don’t claim to be one have proposed that |
| 2:03 | there’s particularly high levels of |
| 2:05 | rejection sensitivity or you know RSD |
| 2:08 | which a lot of people know about you can |
| 2:09 | Google it basically it’s high emotional |
| 2:12 | reactivity in general particularly to |
| 2:15 | anything that people might deem to be a |
| 2:18 | slight against |
| 2:20 | them or anything they’ve done wrong or |
| 2:22 | someone giving them feedback people with |
| 2:25 | ADHD can be quite |
| 2:27 | sensitive now you might think oh |
| 2:29 | everyone sensitive to criticism that’s |
| 2:31 | not really an ADHD trait what a stretch |
| 2:33 | some people might say that however the |
| 2:36 | difference is that if it’s so severe it |
| 2:38 | interferes with your daily life and your |
| 2:40 | forming of healthy relationships then |
| 2:42 | you know that it’s possibly an issue for |
| 2:45 | you if you feel extreme distress failure |
| 2:50 | in the face of rejection the feelings |
| 2:52 | can become so severe that you can reach |
| 2:54 | the point of panic and high anxiety I |
| 2:57 | had a couple of really great emails |
| 2:59 | about the podcast that I did about is |
| 3:01 | ADHD and excuse if you haven’t listened |
| 3:04 | to it check it out but basically I go |
| 3:07 | into when you’re communicating about |
| 3:10 | your ADHD let’s say you’ve done |
| 3:12 | something that you shouldn’t have done |
| 3:13 | or you feel responsible for or possibly |
| 3:15 | you could have done better we don’t want |
| 3:17 | to be using our ADHD as an excuse like |
| 3:19 | oh sorry I have ADHD so I called you a |
| 3:22 | name sorry I abused you sorry I have |
| 3:25 | ADHD I cut into traffic and rammed your |
| 3:27 | car I have ADHD so I was late every |
| 3:30 | single day for work this week it’s about |
| 3:33 | taking responsibility and explaining |
| 3:35 | that sometimes some of your symptoms can |
| 3:36 | get in the |
| 3:37 | way I wanted to give you an example on |
| 3:40 | how RSD might play out for you I’d love |
| 3:43 | to go into the specifics of the example |
| 3:45 | but you know it’s always terrifying that |
| 3:46 | somebody might listen to this that I |
| 3:48 | know so I’ll give you some kind of |
| 3:50 | generics or some general information so |
| 3:53 | basically I was working on Monday and I |
| 3:57 | felt that a coworker attacked back to me |
| 4:00 | via a group meeting in Zoom I went into |
| 4:02 | a meeting I was pretty relaxed I thought |
| 4:05 | and I didn’t realize there was going to |
| 4:06 | be any issues someone really wanted some |
| 4:08 | answers on the spot to something that I |
| 4:10 | didn’t realize was a big |
| 4:12 | deal they got aggressive and couldn’t |
| 4:16 | let go in my mind and just kept asking |
| 4:18 | and asking the same question louder and |
| 4:21 | louder after about 5 minutes of this I |
| 4:24 | ended up completely flustered shaking I |
| 4:27 | couldn’t think and how embarrassing I |
| 4:29 | burst into tears rage literally boiled |
| 4:33 | up like I think the shaking was just |
| 4:35 | pure rage like a coffee pot was |
| 4:37 | boiling I went into |
| 4:40 | tears and he made a comment and said you |
| 4:43 | don’t need to get |
| 4:46 | emotional okay so coming from a man |
| 4:49 | saying you don’t need to get emotional |
| 4:50 | after he’ just been I perceived yelling |
| 4:54 | at me for 5 minutes repeating the same |
| 4:56 | question not giving me a minute to |
| 4:58 | answer or when I answered it wasn’t good |
| 5:00 | enough and he continued |
| 5:02 | on I want to acknowledge I did yell back |
| 5:05 | after about 5 minutes I did end up just |
| 5:08 | blowing up yelling back matching the the |
| 5:11 | yelling for a brief period and then I |
| 5:14 | burst into tears so I did retaliate I |
| 5:16 | did participate I don’t to pretend I was |
| 5:18 | a complete innocent victim yes I believe |
| 5:20 | he started it so after this meeting it |
| 5:23 | took me about 5 hours to calm down not a |
| 5:26 | lie I it probably was longer than that |
| 5:27 | to be honest I coming from school I |
| 5:30 | didn’t even ask them how their day was |
| 5:32 | at school I can’t believe I’ve just said |
| 5:34 | that on a podcast |
| 5:36 | shame that’s terrible right I was in |
| 5:40 | complete shame of myself embarrassment |
| 5:44 | humiliation I still think I was right I |
| 5:47 | didn’t start the argument but I did yell |
| 5:49 | back I was provoked but I did retaliate |
| 5:52 | I have to take some responsibility for |
| 5:54 | that and I walked out of the meeting |
| 5:55 | which was |
| 5:57 | unprofessional and that wasn’t me and |
| 5:59 | that’s not how I want to behave and I |
| 6:01 | pride myself on being better than that |
| 6:04 | so after I had calmed down I listened to |
| 6:08 | my own podcast or I read the notes at |
| 6:10 | least and I thought okay I need to |
| 6:12 | really accept some responsibility for |
| 6:14 | the part that I played which I often |
| 6:17 | think encourages the other person to |
| 6:19 | accept responsibility for the part they |
| 6:21 | played I know with some of my close |
| 6:23 | relationships particularly with my |
| 6:25 | husband |
| 6:27 | so I know with him if I come in first |
| 6:29 | and accept responsibility for what i’ |
| 6:31 | done he pretty much always apologize |
| 6:34 | even if it was mainly my fault on the |
| 6:36 | part that he has played which really has |
| 6:39 | a lovely ending or closure to an |
| 6:41 | argument which I often really need I |
| 6:44 | can’t just let things go I I almost need |
| 6:47 | to like hug it out with someone because |
| 6:49 | plays in my mind and I feel really |
| 6:51 | stressed particularly with a close |
| 6:54 | relationship anyway so I decided with |
| 6:57 | this person I really needed to |
| 7:00 | explain and to acknowledge the part that |
| 7:03 | I played so you know taking my own |
| 7:06 | advice right so I sent him a text I |
| 7:10 | think it was and I said I’m look I’m |
| 7:12 | really sorry I want to acknowledge I |
| 7:14 | didn’t behave in the best way etc etc |
| 7:18 | however would you mind please next time |
| 7:21 | could you email me what you would like |
| 7:23 | in advance and I’ll be prepared because |
| 7:26 | I wasn’t |
| 7:27 | expecting those questions |
| 7:29 | I was put on the spot in a group I felt |
| 7:32 | embarrassed it would really be a lot |
| 7:34 | better and we get a better result if you |
| 7:35 | could let me know in advance that’s |
| 7:37 | that’s what you want or that you’re not |
| 7:38 | happy with something that I’ve done so I |
| 7:41 | was expecting a similar response |
| 7:43 | back so I think you know where this is |
| 7:46 | going I didn’t get it I didn’t get that |
| 7:47 | response back he wasn’t letting it go |
| 7:50 | and he made a comment to me that I had |
| 7:53 | baited him so he listed two things that |
| 7:56 | I had said which I still stand by I |
| 7:58 | honestly didn’t think that would be |
| 8:00 | offensive to him however he was offended |
| 8:04 | and he said that I baited him and then |
| 8:07 | when he reacted I couldn’t cope with the |
| 8:10 | response so I was pretty confused at |
| 8:12 | this point and I thought wow I’m |
| 8:14 | actually really conflict adverse I would |
| 8:16 | literally never bait anybody to have an |
| 8:18 | argument that’s so out of character for |
| 8:20 | who I am which is disappointing he might |
| 8:22 | think that about me so I did something |
| 8:25 | radical at this point and I thought it |
| 8:28 | was going to be really posit |
| 8:29 | and it wasn’t you might think that me |
| 8:32 | being on a podcast that I’m a pretty |
| 8:34 | open person I’m actually not I’ve barely |
| 8:37 | disclose to anybody that I’m on this |
| 8:38 | podcast and it’s my worst fear that |
| 8:39 | someone I know might listen to this so |
| 8:42 | ridiculous I love impacting the ADHD mom |
| 8:45 | Community but like I don’t want anyone |
| 8:47 | to listen to this that isn’t an ADHD mom |
| 8:50 | like even my own husband if he sees the |
| 8:52 | podcast come up I’m like don’t listen to |
| 8:54 | it I I don’t that’s not who I |
| 8:57 | am so my husband the beautiful man that |
| 8:59 | he is encouraged me to disclose that I |
| 9:02 | have ADHD which is a massive deal for me |
| 9:05 | right |
| 9:06 | massive and so I went back and I said |
| 9:09 | look this is via text because he |
| 9:11 | wouldn’t answer my calls look I just |
| 9:13 | wanted to let you know I was diagnosed |
| 9:15 | with ADHD last |
| 9:17 | year and you don’t want to come across |
| 9:19 | incompetent at work either right so I |
| 9:21 | said okay like this is mainly a |
| 9:23 | superpower like it’s really good in |
| 9:24 | these areas however socially it can be a |
| 9:28 | bit of a problem |
| 9:30 | I felt cornered in a group zoom and |
| 9:33 | flustered and sometimes things come out |
| 9:35 | of my mouth that I don’t mean to if you |
| 9:39 | were offended by what I said I’m so |
| 9:41 | sorry but I really need to let you know |
| 9:44 | that my intention was definitely not to |
| 9:46 | offend you that is that was not what I |
| 9:48 | was attempting to do and I’m really |
| 9:51 | sorry that you felt that |
| 9:52 | way but you know I am struggling with |
| 9:56 | this and this is what I’m doing I listed |
| 9:58 | some things that I’m doing doing |
| 10:00 | to I suppose create a place where that |
| 10:04 | is less likely to occur right so in my |
| 10:06 | mind I’m thinking oh I followed my own |
| 10:09 | advice on the podcast with more my |
| 10:10 | research and my interviews with people |
| 10:12 | that that is a really good way how to |
| 10:14 | explain and get a great result from |
| 10:16 | somebody so my expectation was and that |
| 10:19 | was that evening that Monday evening |
| 10:21 | that he would reply with oh you know I |
| 10:22 | didn’t know that you know or maybe not |
| 10:26 | that’s okay but you know some |
| 10:28 | acknowledge |
| 10:30 | this guy didn’t reply and I can tell you |
| 10:32 | I’ve known him for a fairly long time |
| 10:34 | I’ve never known him to not reply didn’t |
| 10:36 | reply it completely did my heading |
| 10:38 | overnight it did my head in the next |
| 10:40 | morning and then he wrote an email the |
| 10:43 | next day that was pretty clear that he |
| 10:44 | was still |
| 10:45 | angry it’s hard to really describe to |
| 10:49 | anybody I’m so glad I’ve got ADHD moms |
| 10:51 | on this that how devastating it is when |
| 10:55 | someone doesn’t reply when you’ve really |
| 10:57 | been rable and shown your heart like |
| 10:59 | it’s difficult to take the emotion out |
| 11:02 | of my voice at the |
| 11:03 | moment |
| 11:05 | invalidation shame |
| 11:08 | humiliation and just feeling |
| 11:11 | worthless it’s hard to it’s feeling |
| 11:14 | worthless I think |
| 11:16 | is probably the |
| 11:19 | response and I noticed that at the end |
| 11:21 | of the podcast with is ADH need excuse I |
| 11:23 | said except that not everybody will |
| 11:25 | accept your explanation and that’s okay |
| 11:29 | but I wanted to show you that and |
| 11:31 | acknowledge how hard that actually is |
| 11:34 | because today is Thursday and I I feel |
| 11:36 | really similar I’m obviously still |
| 11:38 | really very upset about it which is why |
| 11:40 | I’ve kind of put it this together that |
| 11:42 | perhaps I do have a little bit of |
| 11:45 | RSD and the only reason I’m sharing this |
| 11:48 | is because of that great review from raw |
| 11:50 | Rd iixx LS which I saw because I thought |
| 11:54 | instead of just not recording because |
| 11:56 | I’m a little behind on my recording |
| 11:57 | schedule at the moment because I’ve |
| 11:58 | spent this week feeling that I haven’t |
| 12:01 | been able to get up enough and i’ plan |
| 12:04 | to do a topic on masking and you know |
| 12:07 | there’s obviously a mask that you have |
| 12:08 | to put on to do a podcast but I didn’t |
| 12:10 | feel like I was |
| 12:13 | genuine enough to do a podcast I thought |
| 12:16 | I could read a script |
| 12:18 | but I don’t feel it I just don’t feel it |
| 12:20 | and I’ve been in a bit of hibernation |
| 12:22 | this |
| 12:23 | week masking it up pretty hard when I |
| 12:25 | leave the house because of how I feel |
| 12:27 | inside questioning myself mainly you |
| 12:30 | know why why did I yell back I’ve been |
| 12:32 | questioning my |
| 12:33 | medication was it the riddle in coming |
| 12:35 | down that made me into a |
| 12:38 | rage maybe the medication that I thought |
| 12:41 | was working isn’t good for me or is it |
| 12:43 | making me more confident to stand up for |
| 12:45 | myself because I rarely do that you know |
| 12:49 | do I have |
| 12:50 | RSD what’s going on with me and then |
| 12:53 | questioning any responses or anything |
| 12:58 | that I do |
| 12:59 | for example I enrolled my little girl in |
| 13:01 | netball and she starts today and I |
| 13:04 | noticed that some people in the group |
| 13:06 | wrote on there that they weren’t |
| 13:08 | necessarily happy that someone was |
| 13:09 | starting late because the kids would get |
| 13:11 | less game |
| 13:12 | time and I honestly thought I was going |
| 13:15 | to burst into tears last night when I |
| 13:17 | read that and I thought oh my goodness |
| 13:19 | like calm down like we’re really there |
| 13:22 | for training I mean definitely don’t |
| 13:24 | want to cause waves and I felt like when |
| 13:27 | I arrive people won’t like me already |
| 13:30 | and that’s not normally my attitude but |
| 13:32 | that’s how I feel at the moment because |
| 13:34 | I feel a bit beaten down what I wanted |
| 13:36 | to do on this podcast is I posted in |
| 13:39 | about RSD into a couple of Facebook |
| 13:41 | groups a couple of weeks ago in |
| 13:44 | Australia and I wanted to read out a |
| 13:46 | couple of comments that people wrote |
| 13:47 | about RSD because this is when I |
| 13:50 | actually opened it up and I went wow |
| 13:53 | this is how I’m feeling right now I’m |
| 13:54 | not crazy this is actually a thing I’ll |
| 13:57 | read a couple out |
| 13:59 | the feeling of RSD is is is if you’ve |
| 14:03 | been punched in the head and are |
| 14:04 | struggling to regain |
| 14:06 | Consciousness you can deny it but your |
| 14:08 | brain is blank your body is |
| 14:12 | paralyzed next one some rejection hits |
| 14:15 | like a physical punch other times I feel |
| 14:17 | all consuming humiliation Fierce |
| 14:20 | frustration and anger as if I’m |
| 14:22 | blindsided and then I feel like a sad |
| 14:25 | confused little girl and I’m completely |
| 14:29 | bewildered then I get like jet lag |
| 14:31 | afterwards tension headaches fatigue |
| 14:34 | nausea and |
| 14:35 | tightness sometimes I can shake it off |
| 14:37 | after a few days sometimes it takes |
| 14:39 | weeks next one due to many real and |
| 14:43 | perceived rejections in my life from |
| 14:45 | family friends and co-workers I have now |
| 14:47 | become scared to start any new |
| 14:49 | friendships or group activities I don’t |
| 14:52 | volunteer |
| 14:53 | much and I don’t get out of the house |
| 14:56 | much next one any sidelong look or |
| 14:59 | shared smirk between a people in a group |
| 15:02 | conversation like at Mom’s group or a |
| 15:04 | mom pickup feels like I’m being made fun |
| 15:07 | of and even the most constructive |
| 15:10 | feedback feels like you are not good |
| 15:12 | enough and this is how you |
| 15:14 | failed I know that these worries are |
| 15:17 | irrational but I can’t stop feeling this |
| 15:20 | way next one I know my partner isn’t |
| 15:24 | rejecting |
| 15:25 | me but even if he doesn’t have time I |
| 15:28 | feel like he doesn’t want to spend time |
| 15:30 | with me I’m stupid for asking I’m |
| 15:32 | uninteresting and dull and that’s why he |
| 15:34 | won’t go somewhere with me my own brain |
| 15:37 | is |
| 15:38 | exhausting next one RSD is 100% |
| 15:42 | humiliation followed by self berating |
| 15:45 | Behavior nauseous |
| 15:47 | anxiety I anticipate it all the times |
| 15:50 | and I just try not to express my |
| 15:52 | thoughts or feelings anymore I read them |
| 15:55 | and I just felt really sad to be honest |
| 15:58 | I just felt really sad and I started to |
| 16:02 | wonder about my little girl who’s seven |
| 16:05 | and the shame in the embarrassment of |
| 16:07 | doing or saying the wrong thing and I |
| 16:09 | started to wonder is this the reason why |
| 16:12 | teenage girl life is just so hard for |
| 16:16 | ADHD women honestly I feel like I’m in |
| 16:19 | complete fear for her coming up into |
| 16:22 | into that kind of pre-teen area and I |
| 16:24 | want her to live a better life than I |
| 16:26 | did I’m wondering now if RS was a large |
| 16:29 | part of why high school was so hard for |
| 16:32 | me I don’t normally share this but I had |
| 16:35 | severe depression from 14 to 17 years |
| 16:38 | old still to this day it’s difficult to |
| 16:41 | talk about and still to this day I have |
| 16:45 | never been through anything as |
| 16:47 | debilitating as that that time that was |
| 16:51 | completely was horrific it was the worst |
| 16:54 | time of my life |
| 16:55 | still and I can see now that my my |
| 16:58 | parents were desperate they put me on a |
| 17:00 | high amount of medication with a |
| 17:01 | psychiatrist which didn’t work so every |
| 17:03 | week they just put me on more and more |
| 17:05 | and more my parents didn’t know what to |
| 17:08 | do and I wonder |
| 17:10 | sometimes was it me was I that depressed |
| 17:14 | or was it the medication and the high |
| 17:16 | amounts of it and amount of pills I was |
| 17:18 | popping a day was that just contributing |
| 17:21 | to just this |
| 17:23 | overall picture of Despair that I had |
| 17:28 | and I think the RSD was part of the |
| 17:31 | anxiety where I didn’t feel like I could |
| 17:33 | go to school as part of that mix I |
| 17:35 | couldn’t I mean if you just reflect on |
| 17:39 | having to go to school every single day |
| 17:42 | and face the people that have been |
| 17:43 | making fun on you I I couldn’t even |
| 17:45 | imagine it doing it now well then I just |
| 17:48 | know deep down in my heart why do so |
| 17:51 | many of us ADHD M have self-esteem |
| 17:54 | issues because we’ve just read about how |
| 17:57 | it discourages people from doing things |
| 17:59 | or saying things and that’s how I feel |
| 18:01 | right now and I thank that person for |
| 18:03 | that review because otherwise I was just |
| 18:06 | thinking why am I doing podcasts I keep |
| 18:09 | saying the wrong things I’m offending |
| 18:10 | people people don’t like me and you go |
| 18:13 | over and over and over the stuff in your |
| 18:16 | mind and then I |
| 18:18 | wonder why are we low on confidence why |
| 18:21 | do we feel shame in |
| 18:23 | embarrassment because we’ve literally |
| 18:25 | had 30 or 40 Years of evidence that |
| 18:28 | you’re not good |
| 18:30 | enough and if you’re lucky to finally |
| 18:32 | get |
| 18:33 | diagnosed it’s incredible and it’s |
| 18:36 | incredible to accept and see it and know |
| 18:40 | that it’s because your brain works |
| 18:42 | differently but then you also see all |
| 18:44 | the areas that you’re not good at as |
| 18:46 | well and it’s a real journey and I’m not |
| 18:48 | there yet with accepting it I don’t want |
| 18:51 | to make this episode into one with all |
| 18:53 | the strategies at the end about what we |
| 18:54 | can do about it I just feel like that’s |
| 18:56 | really not authentic for me |
| 18:59 | today but I would love to do another |
| 19:02 | episode on RSD with an expert I don’t |
| 19:04 | say I’m an expert I’m not I’m going to |
| 19:06 | do an E A episode on RSD with an expert |
| 19:10 | to give us some science give us some |
| 19:11 | strategies about what we can do but what |
| 19:14 | I wanted this podcast to be about was |
| 19:18 | acknowledging that I feel it |
| 19:20 | too |
| 19:22 | and if you’re not |
| 19:25 | sure if you have RSD maybe this has made |
| 19:28 | it a bit more clear if you do or if you |
| 19:30 | don’t and I also want to acknowledge |
| 19:33 | that it sucks it’s |
| 19:35 | hard but we’re in it together and I’m in |
| 19:39 | this together with you I thank you for |
| 19:41 | your feedback I’d love you to pop me in |
| 19:43 | a review give me a |
| 19:45 | follow or you know what I’d love you to |
| 19:47 | go on the www. ADHD moms.com become a |
| 19:51 | guest share your |
| 19:54 | experience or if that’s a bit much you |
| 19:57 | can always do the feedback form too and |
| 19:59 | share what you’d love to to see more of |
| 20:01 | and hear more of so today ADHD |
| 20:06 | M made a decision I am moving on I am |
| 20:12 | accepting that I didn’t get the response |
| 20:14 | that I wanted I was vulnerable I |
| 20:16 | explained I did what I felt was right |
| 20:19 | and I didn’t get the response that I |
| 20:20 | wanted but you know what that’s |
| 20:22 | okay I’m done wasting time on that issue |
| 20:27 | what I’m going to do is I’m going to |
| 20:28 | move on because what I do know about |
| 20:31 | ADHD moms is we are |
| 20:34 | resilient there is no more resilient |
| 20:37 | people and obviously I’m biased and this |
| 20:39 | is just my personal opinion than women |
| 20:41 | with |
| 20:42 | ADHD we are resilient the amount of |
| 20:46 | stuff that we brunt on a daily basis and |
| 20:50 | we just get up and go I look back on |
| 20:53 | having three kids under three and a half |
| 20:55 | having mastitis and my husband was at |
| 20:58 | work I end up going to hospital and |
| 21:00 | having my boob drained and the how sick |
| 21:04 | I was and the push through that comes or |
| 21:09 | even the whole family having gastro the |
| 21:12 | whole family having the flu oh my |
| 21:14 | goodness last year I got Co from our |
| 21:17 | work Christmas party my husband left he |
| 21:20 | had to go away for a few days I think it |
| 21:22 | was five the entire time I had Co I had |
| 21:25 | three kids under six they didn’t have |
| 21:28 | covid I had Co I wanted to die honestly |
| 21:32 | I felt like ringing an ambulance and |
| 21:33 | saying paramedics take me to hospital I |
| 21:37 | need a quiet |
| 21:40 | space there is no one more resilient to |
| 21:42 | than the ADHD moms and that’s what I’m |
| 21:44 | going to be channeling today we’re going |
| 21:46 | to be moving on this week and on to the |
| 21:48 | next episode thank you so much for |
| 21:50 | listening I hope it was helpful feel |
| 21:53 | free to send me some feedback have a |
| 21:54 | great day have a great week we are |
| 21:57 | moving on in the ADHD M podcast thanks |
