It's not like an occasional thing, it's like a part of how you operate and it has nothing to do with like how well-behaved you are, because, like, I was a very well-behaved kid, actually, and I didn't get other than being a smart ass like.
Ever felt like your mind is racing at a hundred miles an hour, making it hard to focus on just one thing? In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', host Paul Gilmartin chats with comic artist and mental health advocate Dani Donovan about her experiences with ADHD. Dani opens up about the unexpected symptoms she faces, from impulsivity to perfectionism, and how these challenges have shaped her life.
She dives into her school years, where people-pleasing and productivity struggles were constant companions. But it's not all doom and gloom. Dani shares practical coping mechanisms that have helped her, like visualizing tasks and prioritizing them effectively. She also talks about the importance of taking breaks and how spirituality has played a role in her mental health journey. With a blend of humor and honesty, Dani's story is both relatable and inspiring.
