Unheard Mind, a podcast about mental health and neurodiversity.
Having been diagnosed in my early thirties with ADHD, OCD and autism I am coming to grips with all things mental health, whilst working to make improvements in my life and make progress towards better mental health.
I share my stories of growing up with undiagnosed ADHD, OCD and autism, the emotional traumas, family conflicts and the subsequent struggles throughout adulthood. I sometimes use my own poetry to help tell these stories.
As I look forwards optimistically, I hope that sharing my experiences can give extra hope to those who may have struggled with mental health and with feeling unheard or misunderstood.

7: Trauma, OCD And Dissociation — Enjoying Things Again
I've been struggling to enjoy things for the past few years, as a result of traumatic experiences which have worsened OCD and body-focused repetitive behaviours.
This anxious activity results in a level of dissociation which seems to serve a purpose for minimising painful experiences at the time, but leaves me struggling to enjoy the simplest of daily things. However, I also talk about my reasons for optimism.
List of discussion topics:
OCD
Anxiety
Body-focused repetitive behaviours
Dissociation
Emotional trauma
Optimism
