Thank you so much, last night I went on a date with my husband after my medication wore off.... I have medical training and someone approached us asking for help since there wasn’t anyone else around. I helped them and assured them her they would be okay after providing assistance, but on the way back to the car I ran into them again and initiated another conversation which led me into what I call the “ADHD oversharing rabbithole” and it caused an entire argument with my husband this morning. I can’t seem to control this and it often makes me feel embarrassed and regretful since I can’t seem to have any mental privacy, so I really appreciate this video. We’re taught how to cope with certain things but the medication only goes so far and this specific problem is often not addressed on how to cope and it’s one of my biggest struggles. I like to say I’m a social butterfly without consent because I really don’t wanna share this stuff or get stuck in my word vomit and regret it later. Also I grew up in an abusive household where I was forced to explain myself about everything so that’s probably why I struggle so much with this.
