26. "I constantly interrupt people and I feel terrible about myself"
Description
Oh hiiii, ADHD Bestie babes! π
This week, Grace (almost) becomes the neighborhood hero by saving the day from controlled burn-offs, while Tara triumphs over PMDD for the first time since she was 13.
Dilemma: Our gorgeous Kiwi listener is feeling serious RSD when it comes to interrupting people during conversations. We discuss why ADHDers do this and how to see this trait from different perspectives, including how to own it and advocate for your ADHD brain as a way to open up conversations and express empathy for someone.
Ireggy Seggy: π· PIG in the middle (A.K.A The positive interrupting game). This week we play a torturous game where one person must speak slo-o-o-wly and the other must gleefully interrupt them. It's as unhinged as it sounds and Tara forgets how to geography. π« π
REC LINKS:
Tara's Rec: The Middleditch and Schwartz completely improvised comedy specials on Netflix. Improv that is equal parts hilarious and genius!
Grace's Rec: @ktscanvases - A must-follow Instagram/art account thatβs playful, sardonic, and visually stunning.

Until then, DO NOT RSD (we will be so mad!!)Β
