Late diagnosis

I was diagnosed at the age of 37. I was starting nursing school and also around the same time got the diagnosis of bipolar 2. I wish I had this podcast then. I love this podcast and it is so helpful as I struggle with my journey as a nurse with ADHD. I started as a new nurse in observation and just recently moved to Post Partum. If I had this podcast when I started obs, I don’t think I would have struggled as much as I did. Thank you for your time, knowledge, and awareness for those of us like you! Thank you for your help, tips, and support!!

An ED RN with ADHD

I was diagnosed finally a few years ago, after spending most of my life feeling like I just couldn’t cut it. It always took me longer to get the goods grades, working in the ED I did a great job with direct patient care, but balancing everything and keeping track of everything was a different story, so I worked harder than most and accomplished less. It came to a head on one possibility busy day, and I was like there has GOT to be something wrong with me. So I finally talked to my doctor. She asked me a bunch of questions and started me on vyvanse. There are so many things in my life that are so much better now. I love this show because I feel like I’min great company here, and it’s awesome to hear other people’s experiences and to know I’m not alone in all these battles I’ve faced throughout my life. Thank you for this podcast Jami. I really appreciate the information you share!!!

So good! So empowering 💪

I love that Jami not only talks about the struggles of having ADHD… but also the perks. Becoming aware of why I’m having a hard time or avoiding something and how to combat that along with learning how to channel my neurodivergent brain to tap into my ADHD super powers has been so empowering and life giving for me! And so much of what I have learned has been on this podcast! Thank you! ❤️
