Freakishly accurate

I don’t think I’ve ever actually found something that shows my brain so well. This is…so accurate for me that it is almost scary, yet calming. Idk how to explain. It’s like that’s how my brain is used to things, so I’ve just naturally taught myself to tune it out. So as soon as it started, I almost immediately began to tune it out to the point of being oblivious to the world. Like it’s an extreme tune out that keeps me from being able to focus on anything, because if I allow myself to actually relax enough to focus on that one thing, then I accidentally let everything in, and then it is way too much.
I made myself put my wall down and listen to the podcast and I immediately saw that this is my brain, 1001%. Even as I type this, I’m hearing so many noises and my brain is having so many conversations with no one even here other than my husband storing in the other room!

Reassuring

I have difficulty with this too. It's quite relieving to have a "how to ask"guide.

Thoughtful and helpful.

I appreciate their understanding and clear explanation. They also clearly note when they are expressing their views as opposed to licensed medical advice.

Finally found somebody that gets me!!

Most people don't come with an instruction manual. Apparently I do!!!!! I truly can't express enough how much this podcast has helped me. 46 years of being called weird, quirky, crazy, different, etc. 46 years of not knowing. I truly appreciate every episode of this podcast!
