THE best ADHD Chatter podcast EVER. Martine so clearly inspired by you Alex. She also one of the most articulate about her ADHD, mental health & life journey. Her love for life, her son and desire to help spread your message Alex is second to no other I've heard. The chemistry, respect & natural empathy you both shared throughout was awesome. Congratulations to both of you for one of the best social media videos of 2024 😊

And it's really helping me feel good about myself now, anyone on your podcast and yourself, are exactly my type of people, and it's helping me really accept my life and heal from my past. As well as start to have true compassion for myself. Thank you ❤❤❤

I just need to stop being lazy. Diagnosed again at 41 and on the evil medication. Doing better than ever. Great interview and Martine has such a great attitude ❤

There are still many symptoms present but as my head is quieter I’m content with that! I am masking less and more comfortable with stimming. I am also more able to recognise when I’m becoming anxious or overwhelmed and I’m learning to speak up for myself and let others know how I’m feeling. My time blindness is still an issue but I’m learning to put earlier times in my calendar than I actually need to turn up… I’ve even arrived early to things thinking I was late as usual!

I've followed Martine's journey since watching her on East Enders. We have so many similarities, I also have ME and now there's the ADHD I was diagnosed 3 months ago aged 68 (69 in two days time!). I echo everything she says except I still push myself to do things which exhaust me, mainly because the thought of perpetual boredom feels much worse. So thank you for this interview Alex. And thank you Martine for putting ME out there all these years ago and now ADHD too! And Alex I agree with her, you are doing so much good with your work here. Certainly helping me get my head around my diagnoses and my grief for the past years of struggle and at times bullying from people who should have known better. x

Wow Martine. You have said quite a few things on here that have really struck a chord and hit home for me. I've recently been referred for an ADHD assessment and been taking in the info I see now. I felt a little sad because I thought just like you did, that I've spent all these years not feeling enough or like I'm wrong for so many things that I do or feel, but hearing u say that until recently u probably would not have taken the diagnosis the same, or society may not have been so accepting of it, has changed my mindset. So thank you. Plus the overthinking and once ur home, wondering if you upset someone or said the wrong thing etc. It's actually made me become so anxious at social events, I've become someone who finds it hard to get out the house. Thank you for sharing everything, as so much resognated with me. Thanku for this amazing podcast too. I'm glad I've found it x

Martine is so gorgeous and it's encouraging to know someone similar age is having these experiences with coming to terms. I wish I had more friends that understood, someone to talk deep with. And I'm glad she pointed out that her childhood was complex because it's hard to navigate adhd when there is other issues processing at the same time. Also its encouraging to know martine will tell her friends about her condition until she is blue in the face. I have held back on telling people in my circle because i know they will judge and condemn. Note taken... Find new circle of people who value me, ALL OF ME!

Thank you sooooooo much Alex and Martine! I've hit pretty much the bottom after years of coping. Perimenopause has broken me. BUT I've advocated for myself (and thereby my 6yo daughter) by asking to switch from the local NHS service with a 3 year wait, to the right to choose route with a 4-5 month wait. After I'm diagnosed it's operation mini-me. She is doing so well at school academically now, but I see my emotional struggles in her....I see the masking and the associated anxiety already - my facade failed somewhat in secondary school and big time in n sixth form. I understand myself sooooo much better from listening to your podcasts, Understood, HowtoADHD and danidonovan. I'm looking forward to getting over the diagnosis and grief and moving the hell on with life! Thank you, thank you, and thank you again!!!!

I absolutely love what she said about adhd being part of you but not all. We are multi faceted and I also agree that that you can mourn the lost years and things being different, but also still not have made the correct choices through not honouring yourself and not enough self love. I also think that there are beautiful elements of adhd..we tend to be more sensitive and creative and compassionate because of our daily struggles and i am definitely drawn to neurodivergents.

It’s hard and I agree with what you’re saying. The awareness of it in recent years has made me realise that I think I have adhd. I’m 51. I’ve cried a lot thinking about over my childhood, school years and lack of career etc - always wondering why everyone achieved normal things in life and despite being relatively intelligent I wasn’t able to. It all made sense. I don’t feel I can say it to anyone though because ‘everyone has adhd these days’ I don’t feel like I can can go to a gp because I’ll have a ten year waiting list if they don’t just write me off as a perimenopausal woman who heard everyone else say they had adhd and try and stick me on anti depressants and I can’t go private as I can’t afford it and also I know they pretty much tell everyone whatever they want to hear. It’s sad really.

@ageordieboy Ай бұрын

I have literally in the last few months become aware that..I have so many characteristics/markers of ADHD And I’m a clinician in GP practice. I refer kids in to the ADHD pathway often. And I didn’t even think of it for myself. And EVERYTHING makes sense now. I wasted so much time being absolutely furious with myself for “letting people down, letting myself down, being lazy, not being able to get stuff done even though I’m trying, being an absolute dickhead (how I feel when I’m frustrated at myself) Just feeling like a terrible human. I started to absolutely hate myself and didn’t know why I felt like such a terrible person. Like such a horrible friend, brother, son and everyone else was so much better than me..because they “ had it together” and I was just a complete C word. Nope..I do think I have adhd. And it’s freeing to come to a conclusion..actually a potential conclusion. I have no formal diagnosis yet but I’m pretty certain 🤷‍♂️ She’s so eloquent Three words she says “never feeling enough” That’s me. In three words. .

@angeldustsprinkles5186 Ай бұрын

Im a little alarmed that anyone is sat in a waiting room, and randomly offered a test for ADHD. Its so important to be really discerning with these private companies. I am a mental health professional, and Im alarmed by how readily these diagnoses are being given. Its a good thing there is more awareness, its also not such a good thing that with many private companies people seem to be told they are positive for either autism or adhd. For example I have sat with patients who have paid to see a private psychiatrist because they are convinced they have a certain mental health diagnosis. They then bring the letter from the private psychiatrist into an NHS appointment with an NHS psychiatrist, because thats who they are counting on to prescribe medication for them, ( which will be free). The NHS psychiatrist has not been remotely in agreement with the 'diagnosis' of the private psychiatrist, and the patient is very frustated about that. I would much rather an NHS Dr cast an eye over something, in the case of mental health, or neurodiversity. Credibility is higher, and no financial incentives. I understand the frustration with NHS waiting lists. I just cant help but to wonder if Martine had been to see an NHS specialist what they would have said. Maybe they would have drawn the same conclusion . Maybe far from that.

Literally the ONLY thing that moderated and allowed me to get a firm handle on my ADHD, as well as transmuted to a certain extent is a daily meditation practice. I admit, in the beginning, it was probably more challenging for me than for most due to the ADHD, which is pretty profound lol. I went to various meditation apps and really couldn’t find anything that worked? Everything felt… Somehow fake and scripted? Anyway, an old college friend finally told me about this incredible woman who started this live guided meditation service all over the world, online. She post a new meditation each morning and it’s accessible around the world and then is replaced again in the next morning. Anyway, I was so skeptical? Mean… You gotta be kidding. Sit still and actually meditate? But the woman leading it is honestly so exceptional, she’s been teaching for over 30 years, has this giant résumé, and she’s just so real and honest and good at it. And here I am, two months later, waking up and meditating pretty much before I do anything else? And it has literally changed my life in every direction I look. highly recommend. She’s got a 30 day trial, which is again like totally unusual that anyone would do that. And she does a free one on one with each new subscriber, whether you share go! Anyway, sorry to go on and on. I’m just so shocked and surprised and in disbelief that something so simple has had such profound consequences for my mental health, emotional health, you name it. I feel like a new person. I warn you though, it takes a solid 2 to 3 weeks of doing it every morning without fail to see any results. Neural pathways and all that.😄😄

How does a person know they have ADHD as opposed to complex trauma? There are so many aspects of complex or developmental trauma that overlaps with ADHD.I mean Martine had a very traumatic childhood and so many of the things she described like masking her true self or feeling unsafe,feeling inadequate and never feeling enough are do related to complex trauma. I wonder how many people with ADHD actually have traumatic backgrounds and sometimes not obvious trauma like Martine who had a violent father but absent parents,emotionally absent parents or unattended parents so some attachment issues.Thete are so many parallels that one wonders if ADHD is simply the effects of poor attachment leading to anxiety and a lack of sense of self.

@@ChristineMeyer-hs9rg I agree with your line of questioning. People seem to see things so black-and-white and miss the connections so often. I believe it is chicken and egg. We are born more sensitive, so we are more easily traumatized, we end up in a traumatized situation, and then we become even more sensitive. That's just how things happen in reality. conditions and circumstances aren't isolated. The more we have either or both, the more traits we will incur over a lifetime. We were born with the potential to be more sensitive, we are born into difficult situations, the difficult situations make us more sensitive, the sensitivities make us even more sensitive to future trauma. Having settle this I do not see it as a victimized state. I think there is just as much good as negative, just as many gifts as challenges. I do not see anything as being genetic or just the way we are born, but I do see our destiny and the life experiences and challenges we were each meant to have as an inherent part of each individual. Whether you want to say you were born that way, or just destined for a particular experience, the important thing is to realize everything is connected; our experiences and our conditions,. And we are born into our destiny and whether there's a blueprint that shows that on our biology, or whether our destiny can be traced back to our design, seeing intricately is a key piece of living a life of meaning rather than subscribing to fate

Military, college degrees, living abroad, paragliding, etc… So I’m not sure if that falls into impulsivity. I usually thought about my decisions enough to know that they wouldn’t hurt me, and they would be good for XYZ reasons. Maybe it’s just the ADHD drive for a good challenge-like I was bored…

Martine was excellent in Marple. She should have had a spin off as a young Jane Marple.

I also hold trauma from my childhood and think i may have ADHD and was wondering if two are interlinked.

I’m scared to use ADHD medication. Is there anything that isn’t addictive and while it’ll keep me calm won’t stifle my creativity? I have anxiety too which I already use medication for. Thinking of trying mouthful of caffeine for now till I get more answers. Caffeine puts me to sleep like systemically heart rate my mind everything just shuts down after drinking it. So I can’t drink more than that a mouthful if I’m just hoping to slow myself down a bit. I think I’ll try that for now. Also sleeping pills keep me awake so I have that opposite idiosyncratic reaction to stimulants.

i don't want to either. I go for a run just 3k every second day, it helps calm the fidgets and make me feel still. Still a fiend for caffeine though!

I can totally relate to that. Stimulants shut me down and depressants have always overstimulated me.

See, she's one of these who CAN afford to and ARE ALLOWED TO go private. People on welfare are not. WHY IS UK GOVERNMENT NOT INSTRUCTING NHS TO ACTIVELY SCREEN FOR SUCH DISORDERS AT SCHOOL AGE?
