So proud of myself. I worked with Sage last week to create a workout routine for me. I used to workout 3-4x/week but got a knee injury and never went back. Plus was in ADHD burnout due to +++ stress. Feels so good! It was a tough work out and needs some fine tuning but I did it!!

The Bdub sessions are a great way to get going on what needs decluttering...Hope to see you in the Bdub sessions!! Several more are scheduled! The time that you see will be the time in your time zone so you can decide what will or not work for you.8😎

People with ADHD are up to three times more likely to develop addictions than the general population. This vulnerability is largely driven by a brain "reward deficiency" (lower dopamine levels) and poor impulse control. Addictive behaviors provide the instant gratification and dopamine rush the ADHD brain craves. Addictions commonly observed in individuals with ADHD are divided into two main categories: substance-related addictions and behavioral addictions. 1. Substance Use Disorders Many individuals with ADHD initially turn to substances as a form of unintentional "self-medication" to quiet racing thoughts, manage social anxiety, or boost focus. - Nicotine - Alcohol - Cannabis (Marijuana) - Stimulants 2. Behavioral Addictions Because ADHD impacts impulse control and reward processing, non-substance addictions are highly prevalent. - Gaming & Internet Addiction - Gambling. - Shopping - Food Addiction/Binge Eating - Pornography and Sex Addiction For those struggling with co-occurring ADHD and addiction, medical professionals recommend an integrated approach. Treating the underlying ADHD with prescribed medication and behavioral therapies (like CBT or DBT) often significantly reduces the brain's need to seek out addictive substances or behaviors.

I have been reading so much about adhd since March this year. Today I found out I have ODD. I thought I was just a very angry teenager, don’t know why I was so angry, but if my mum said “the sky is blue” I would reply and say something like “not its not it’s grey”. If she liked an outfit then I would hate it. It’s not that I didn’t love my mum but I would always do the opposite of what she said. I think I grew out of it, if that is possible but it now manifests in a different way, as I get angry at other drivers and can lose my temper when driving. Although I am trying to manage this as it’s not good at all. This is a link to the NHS website, it’s an interesting read https://www.eput.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/odd-information-leaflet-for-parents.pdf
