Your ADHD brain loves a good argument. Here’s why that’s a problem.

[upbeat music] Hi everybody, and welcome back to Sorry I Missed This, the show where we talk about all things relationships and ADHD.

As always, it's me, your host, Kate Osborne, and today we are doing a mailbag episode brought to you by our Facebook community and the giveaway that we did over there.

I don't know if you, dear listener, know this or not, but we have an amazing Facebook community where people share tips and tricks and we talk about different episodes of Sorry I Missed This and all of the great stuff that's going on over at understood.org. And so the other day we did a giveaway where people wrote in questions, and winners got a copy of my [laughs] bestselling book, The ADHD Field Guide for Adults.

But today's mailbag episode is a special episode because all of the questions that we are featuring are from that giveaway and the people who entered that contest.

So if you hear your question, thanks for entering the contest.

I really appreciate it.

It was nice knowing that you guys wanted a copy of my book.

Made my heart feel big.

So our fearless production team has gathered an assortment of the questions that were sent in as part of that contest, and I am going to read them to you, and then I am going to answer them to you.

If you're watching this on video, please note that there's gonna be a, a few times where I look over here.

And dear listener, dear watcher, I just wanna be so honest with you, when we talk about ADHD, sometimes honesty and vulnerability is really important.

My brain is not working.

I did not sleep last night, and so I have taken a lot of notes on my answers 'cause I just wanna make sure that I do a good job.

So if you see me looking over here, that's what's happening, 'cause my brain is just, it's not, we're not today.

But you know what? I'd rather just be honest about the struggle.

Do you know what I mean? I'm not a perfect person, so let's get into it.
