Sam Rowells bravely bares her soul and courageously walks us through her story of living with ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), growing up with an abusive mother and an early childhood misdiagnosis. Even if, as a listener, you don't suffer from ADHD, this interview will impact you in some way. Our conversation is real, raw, mostly unedited and beautiful in every way.
Coming to terms with her diagnosis of ADHD helped Sam realize that she's not just flaky, scattered, unorganized and impulsive. Neurologically it's how her brain is wired and she has to work harder than "a normal brain" to stay on top of tasks and fight through depression/anxiety. As you can imagine that comes along with tremendous challenges. "It's a very scary place inside your head..." Sam told me during the interview.
When I asked Sam, what does ADHD feel like? Hard time following through, unorganized, messy, lose interest very fast, restless, hard on yourself, anxiety, depression, concerned what everyone thinks of you, blame, hyper focused at times, consistency is difficult.
