Topics
Keeshia Pettit: 我在29岁时被诊断出患有ADHD,这彻底改变了我的生活。起初我犹豫是否公开谈论我的诊断,因为担心被误解和批评,以及担心自己只是众多谈论ADHD的人中的一个。但是,通过深入了解ADHD以及自身经历,我最终决定公开分享我的故事,并创建了一个名为《云》的播客系列节目,旨在帮助更多人了解和应对ADHD。在这个过程中,我意识到许多关于ADHD的在线内容过于简化,甚至有些内容是错误的或无益的。我想创建一个不同的对话,不仅要展现ADHD的负面影响,也要展现人们如何通过策略和心态调整来应对ADHD,从而过上充实的生活。被诊断出患有ADHD后,我反思了我的过去,并对之前因为无法集中注意力、时间管理能力差等问题而责备自己感到后悔。我意识到,很多以前让我困扰的问题,现在都可以解释了。这让我感觉像是一层迷雾散去,很多事情都变得清晰明了,包括我为什么选择从事媒体行业。被诊断出患有ADHD并服用药物后,我的情绪调节能力得到了显著改善,感觉像卸下了沉重的负担。我开始理解并管理我的拒绝敏感性失调(RSD),减少了冲动性行为,并对时间的感知更加清晰。我意识到自己一直在掩饰自己的ADHD症状,这让我感到筋疲力尽,并让我成为一个讨好型人格。现在,我更加了解自己,也更加能够接纳自己。 Britt: 作为Keeshia的朋友和同事,我见证了她被诊断出患有ADHD后所发生的变化。她变得更加专注、平静,情绪也更加稳定。以前,很难给她反馈,因为担心会伤害她的感情。现在,我们能够更有效地进行合作和沟通。此外,我注意到她以前经常在谈话中突然转移话题,而现在这种情况减少了。 Laura: 我也见证了Keeshia的变化。她变得更加专注,也更善于管理自己的时间。以前,她经常会因为一些小事而过度反应,而现在她能够更好地控制自己的情绪。总的来说,Keeshia的改变是积极的,这证明了及早诊断和治疗ADHD的重要性。

Chapters
Keeshia Pettit, the host, discusses her hesitancy to publicly share her ADHD diagnosis, the oversaturation of ADHD content on social media, and the stigma associated with the condition.

  • Concerns about criticism and the over-representation of ADHD on social media fueled the hesitancy.
  • The stigma associated with ADHD includes misconceptions about the condition's symptoms and the perception of it as over-discussed.

Shownotes Transcript

Hey Lifers!Over the past 4 months we have been working on this very special project; a brand new 10 part mini series called Cloud, hosted by Life Uncut’s Executive Producer Keeshia Pettit. 

Cloud is a podcast series created to discuss ADHD and late age diagnosis; a conversation that was sparked after Keeshia’s own diagnosis. The name Cloud is inspired by the experiences of many late-diagnosed women who describe finally feeling like a “cloud was lifted” after learning more about the different ways that their brains work and how they ‘fit’ into society.

With all of the content about ADHD on social media explaining what the condition is, I’ve been on quite a journey figuring out the difference between what I thought were personality flaws and what is actually symptomatic of this condition. I realised that there was a bit of a gap of what to do next. What was I meant to do with all of this information? Cloud was created to fill that gap. It explores the intersection of ADHD with identity, relationships, career, and well-being so that we can live more fulfilling and more present lives.Each episode will offer insight into a different aspect of ADHD from guests like Mark Manson, the author of ‘The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, psychiatrist Dr Kieran Kennedy, focus and attention expert Johann Hari and relationship experts Sabrina Zohar and Logan Ury.

Today’s conversation is about emotional dysregulation, shame, masking, impulsivity, self criticism and success. 

  • We chat:

  • Why I was so hesitant to speak publicly about ADHD

  • The ‘oversaturation’ of ADHD content on social media 

  • How ADHD presents differently in girls and women

  • Wondering if I'd have known earlier, would life have been easier?

  • How I've changed since diagnosis

  • How Britt & Laura feel I've changed

  • Rejection sensitive dysphoria, emotional dysregulation, shame, impulsivity and time blindness.

  • Am I a chameleon or am I masking?
