Hey, what's up? This is Kristen Carter and you are listening to a bite-size episode of the I Have ADHD podcast. I am medicated, caffeinated, regulated, and ready to roll. This little episode is one of my favorite clips from the podcast. It's perfect if you're not in the mood for a full hour-long listen.

Because let's be real, some of us ADHD just don't have the patience for all of that.

But if you are a die-hard listener, think of this as your mid-week pick me up.

It's Thursday, y'all.

Friday is right around the corner.

If you love this clip, check out the show notes for a link to the full

episode. And remember, my friend, drink your water, take your meds, grab a snack. Now let's get

rolling. All right. Let's move on to a voicemail. We're going to hear from Dana. I am looking

forward to this.

So Dana, what's up?

Hi, Kristen.

My name is Dana Young.

I am a newly diagnosed with ADHD adult.

I am 46 years old and found out very recently in the last couple of months that I have ADHD and I have started medicating and it's been a game changer. My question for you is for people who are diagnosed as adults

so late in life, how do you move past the regrets or the looking back at your life and feeling like you missed all these opportunities because you didn't know that you had this disorder until you were older?

And I feel myself pretty frequently, like looking backward in my life and kind of

having moments of frustration after the fact, because I, understanding my situation now, I feel

like I could have handled those things so much better if I had been medicated earlier in my life.

Uh, yeah, anyway, I love what you do.

I appreciate, uh, the podcast very much. Um, I love what you do. I appreciate the podcast very much.

I'm pretty new to it, but the information you provided has already been extremely helpful.

So thank you so much for what you do.
