Riding the ADHD Rollercoaster: Highs, Lows & Mental Extremes

Hosts Laura and Claire explore the lived experience of ADHD mental extremes — the rapid swings from intense hyperfocus and energy to full shutdown, the role of basics (sleep, food, movement), and how hormones, rejection sensitivity, and overstimulation amplify symptoms.

They share coping ideas, emphasize self-compassion and management over “fixing,” and introduce a "no shame zone" to reframe judgment and accept neurodivergent wiring.
