I missed on so much, and now I'm having to grieve this diagnosis.

It's hard, but you know what I tell patients who are in that position is that this whole time you have been building skills.

You have been building structures.

You have had this brain this whole time.

And so now it's what you do with it.

And it's what you make of it with this new opportunity.

And so you wouldn't have built those skills that you needed if things were different, potentially.

Another very, very important one is just making time for physical activity.

I feel like such a hypocrite because I...

Hate exercise.

I think it sucks.

It's so boring and it's so hard for me to motivate myself, but it truly does make my brain work better.

No, it's not exclusively.

But you know, the thing about like we were talking about rejection sensitive dysphoria, almost 100% of people with ADHD have rejection.

I know that I have it.

Don't self-diagnose.

I'm not.

I'm not.

But I do have that.

So the concept of rejection-sensitive dysphoria, I started writing this book when I was all dysregulated with my dad.
