And again, that's why we come back to coming out, because when you come out, you can explore. Does this really feel authentic or not?

Yes, so self-awareness is so, so, so key. And I agree with what you're saying as well, Alex, about it's not a deficit of attention. We now think it should be called attention dysregulation because, as I say, it's tidal. When the tide is out, no, you cannot remember where your car keys are. You know, I'm quite proud of myself.

I've never lost the children, but I have lost more or less everything else, including at some points in my mind, you know, I've lost many things. So there's this deficit of attention at times and other times. So I really love a bit of hyper focus and I'm never happier than when reading academic articles and digging deep into things. the default mode network, et cetera.

So there's this dysregulation. But then when we shift to think about, as I say, the networks, the brain networks, definitely in terms of identity, in terms of who we are, there is at times a difficulty in holding onto a solid self-construct. And so part of what I suggest to people is I know Leanne Maskell says journal. Journaling's been really, really helpful for me.

Breathwork, so simply coming back into the body. Really simple mindfulness techniques that you can use. So I have a who am I, where am I, what am I doing, how long have I got? So that very simple, using kind of Russell Barkley's executive function network model, but just reminding yourself, who am I in the world? So I'm Judith, where am I? I'm in the studio with Alex. What are we doing?

I love that example firstly because my parents wanted me to be a doctor and indeed I became a doctor and secondly because I think it really underpins one of the ADHD experiences which is difficulty distinguishing between imagination and reality and that makes it sound like a deficit which it isn't but it's more like I have shower thoughts, get in the shower every morning.

And it's like, it's like this beautiful fruit tree has just come into fruit. And there's all these ideas just falling off the tree. And I'm like, I need to capture all these fruits that are falling off the tree. And I've now realized that it's okay to let some of them fall on the ground, but it would be wonderful. I always thought I wanted to be like a singer in a cabaret club.

in another life maybe but not right now that it that sometimes the fruit is allowed to fall to the ground because the joy of adhd is there'll always be more fruit always it's like a tree which is forever in fruit when you're in particularly when you're in flow and when you've slept well so so it's allowing yourself to have you talk about what is it the ideas shelf
