I also experience very extreme depression. As a male it sucks too. Everyone runs away. I said to a mate the other day though, that I would rather cry everyday than never cry at all.
Was cyclothymia ever suggested for these cycles? The "crash & burns", low mood etc. I am diagnosed bipolar disorder & it has cycles of being productive & energised, mood crashes, low mood with no energy. Can also have impulsivity. Clinicians need to take care with diagnosing as so many things look similar. Meds for depression or ADHD can make things worse if have an underlying bipolar disorder. There is a misconception that meds & therapy can "fix" things. They are tools to help manage. All Ellie's stuff I have seen seems like a brand of happy smiley person who is into fashion. Comes across as performative. Typical of social media influencers out to make money from promoting stuff deep down they probably don't believe in.
I have adhd. I am in Spain, right now and really struggling with the food situation. I'm also a vegetarian. The smells, looks and textures of spanish food is making me feel sick .. it stinks Masking .. where do I even begin 🤦🏾♀️
Love seeing Ellie back on the podcast! I resonate with her so much and makes me feel less alone
The dedication to the graveyard of domain names got me from the very start! 😅
Same! I had to laugh because this is me!
😂 That hit hard!

Ellie is such a smart, kind person. She helps me feel better about myself as a fellow AuDHDer. Thank you for this. 💜
Anxiety and Depression are symptoms of both conditions due to our experiences
I'm a 6'5" white-ish guy, and its true, gotta mask for the most part. Quality guest, great insights.
White-ish?

Really loved this one, as a fellow Audhder- felt very seen 🥰
Yay love that there's another of Ellie on this podcast ☺️ just finished her first book. Defo will go read the second
Love Ellie

Huge cost especially when you do it your entire life and then don’t know who you actually are
I feel that at 56 years. So weird.

Dopamine reward for having a hard deadline
The microphone is too good - I can hear everyone's mouth sounds. I wanted to listen to this but I'm sorry I can't 😭
Had to stop at 1:17 as I'm very offended by that remark, I'll come back and watch the entire thing over the next year probably.
What's the issue?
