ADHD Winter Warriors ASSEMBLE! This is an impromptu Zoom chinwag with some online community legends who are taking part in the ADHDAF+ Charity fundraiser to combat SAD with movement for mental health. With all of us suffering SAD in these dark winter months in the UK we decided to raise some awareness about Seasonal Affective DIsorder and hopefully entice some of you to JOIN OUR TEAM for the last few weeks of the challege. Because doing so not only supports the very people suffering to best support their mental health but it also raises funds to create in-person Peer support Groups in Scotland, England and Wales for ADHD Adults of marginalised genders... which at a time of both ADHD diagnosis crisis and ADHD medication shortages, connection with others who just get it is essential and empowering.

Please join or sponsor us ADHD Winter Warriors combatting SAD with movement for mental health HERE raising funds for ADHDAF+ Charity

Enormous thanks to Ruth, Tracy, Chloe and the rest of the Winter Warriors TEAM:
Nikkie, Becky, BIG, Lizee, Louise, Jill, Micky, Jill, Kirsty, Sarah, Loreena, Poppy, Lesley, Stephanie, Kim, Fi, Rachel, Maria & Nicole! xxx

The online peer support community and in-person events hosted by this podcast have proven the enormous value of peer support for ADHD adults, which inspired the creation of ADHDAF+ Charity. I am so excited to get the 'chazza' out into the community in real life very soon!

If you want to hear why it's been such a horrible time, I talk about it at the start of the PREVIOUS EPISODE - but don't worry, I always end on a happy note! Us dopamine deficient need all the bloody joy we can get!

TW: accidental injury, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, grief, emotional outbursts, menty b's, loud laughter and too-muchness.

TRIGGER WARNING! This episode doesn't start on a happy note, but I promise it ends on one! See full TW below*

This episode was recorded/put together on Xmas Eve-eve, but I bottled it as I couldn't face sharing until now. In a time that I want to spread joy, I've felt anything but joyful due to some truly awful news this month. HOWEVER, despite it all there are so many glimmers of 2024 to reflect upon and feel incredibly grateful for!

Thank you ALL so much for all of your support this absolute f***er of a year! You have helped to fill it with so many glimmers and I hope this episode fills your day with glimmers too!

TW* mentions of family member critical illness, hospitalisation, brain aneurysm, potential cancer diagnosis, grief, being child-free not by choice, depression, anxiety, self loathing, self worth and self care struggles as a result of ADHD. There's also some questionable audio in the first couple of minutes and the usual loud cackling and 'too much-ness'
