Morning all, I don't know if this I new thing or been about for years and I've just not seen it. Saw something on another platform about 8d audio and benefits for people with adhd so decided to have a listen. It is incredible. Best way I can describe it is you don't just hear the music, it totally fills your head. I have issues with brain chatter, I can't relax as my brain just does not stop. When listening to 8d it fills my head so much there simply doesn't seem room for the chatter. I have never felt so relaxed. Have any of you lovely people tried this and has it helped in any way?

When I was fIrst diagnosed with Adhd, I was heavy into burnout and saw no way forward but I knew one thing: I was desperate for relief and didn't know what to do. So I turned to one more psychiatrist. An emergency care providor at that, and FINALLY SOMEONE SAW WHAT NO ONE ELSE HAD YET! And I finally had an answer of where to dig deep. At 32, I learned I am Autusitic with Combined Type Adhd. I spents hours a day for weeks taking in everything I could. I was familiar with inatentive ADHD in children thanks to my daughter but I had no idea how many different ways there were that ADHD could show up in different people or that there was even a third type...the combined type. I didnt know that Hyperactive ADHD shows up differently in women than it does in men or that most women have the inattentive type and that women with any type struggle for years with improper diagnoses. Cue me giving the middle finger to every mis-informed psych that told me I was bipolar, unreliable, neurotic, had borderline personality disorder, OCD, GAD, SAD, or MDD. The end result of all this research? A huge influx of self worth for 1, but also a field guide for anyone else who may be navigating similar terrain. A field guide to help the ADHD person of any type to process through burnout and start working WITH their brain rather than against it. And now, that field guide is yours.

We touched a little on love languages in a previous post and some of you shared your love language, which got me wondering, how do you show your partner love. Do you know your partners love language and show them love in a way they will understand. For example- I know one of Kristys love languages are words of affirmation so I leave little notes around the house for her to find telling her how I feel about her. So my question is - do you know your partners love language and what do you do to show them love in their language 🤔

As a kid I loved the snow. I loved the snow until I was 21 when I passed my heavy goods licence (big rig trucks) Alot of people think these trucks are good in the snow, they would be wrong.....so wrong. I would be better off ulling the trailer on with my motorbike lol. It's going to be a long day. I'll get home (if I get home) just in time to go to sleep, 9 hours off then back up at 5am to do it all again tomorrow. I don't know who I upset in a past life but they've got it in for me.

My first day off work today, and I've done absolutely nothing. Been looking forward to a dressing gown and TV day. I work hard and long hours, yet feel so guilty for doing nothing. Why does it feel like I'm wasting the day by simply relaxing? Why do I feel guilty for not doing jobs around the house and giving myself the time to just chill for one day? My brain refuses to calm, it's got to keep looking for things to do, it refuses to shut up and just rest. As soon as I try, the little voice kicks in..... what are you doing ? ....you're just lazy ! .... you haven't got time to sit around when theres things to be done..... Why couldn't the H in ADHD stand for happy 🤪
