A Dopamine Kick (ADHD Without the Filter)
Come with us as we navigate the mind-blowing, cluster f**k that is late-diagnosis ADHD. It’s messy, overwhelming, and sometimes makes no sense… but this is what happens when you give two people with ADHD a microphone and let them spiral.
We’re talking hyperfixations, random obsessions we swear are “the one”, the crashes, the chaos… and all the little moments that make you stop and think “why did I just do that?”
It’s all over the place, it rarely goes how you expect, and half the time it doesn’t make sense… but somehow, it’ll probably sound familiar.
There’s no structure, no perfect advice, and definitely no pretending we’ve got it all figured out. Just honest conversations about what ADHD actually feels like, the good, the bad, and everything in between… said exactly how it happens in our heads.
Because sometimes all it takes is hearing someone else say it out loud to realize you’re not broken… you’re not alone. Your brain just works differently.

This week we're talking about Shell's favourite topic again! MEDICATION!
But, seriously... starting ADHD medication is not an easy choice and it can be an agonising (and sometimes) quite scary decision to make (and let's face it making decisions with ADHD is already not an easy task!)
There are so many opinions to listen to from family, friends and colleagues about wether you should take medication or not. There's also alot of stigma surrounding taking medication for your metal health than there is for other non-mental health conditions.
So what should you do?
In this episode we discuss why taking medication for your mental health has such a stigma attached to it, if you should you take medication for ADHD, what are the options, the benefits and side effects of ADHD medication, and if you do opt out of wanting to take medication what other non medication options are there to manage your ADHD symptoms!
