👀 HAS ANYONE WATCHED THE GREAT ADHD MYTH? ON CHANNEL 4 YET?
I haven’t watched it myself yet, but I’ve already seen a LOT of discussion around it. From what I understand, it questions things like: • whether ADHD is being overdiagnosed • whether medication is being relied on too heavily • how much environment, screens, schooling, lifestyle etc may influence ADHD-type behaviours • and even whether ADHD should be viewed in the way it currently is As you can probably imagine, it’s been pretty controversial. So before I watch it, I’m really interested to hear from people in here: Have you seen it? And if you have: 👉 What did you agree with? 👉 What annoyed you? 👉 Did anything make you question your own views? 👉 Did you think it was balanced or biased? No need for everyone to agree either. I actually think this could be a really interesting discussion. I’ll watch it myself and come back with my thoughts too. Who’s seen it? 👇

S.O.N. Therapy: A Simple Way to Change the Thought Loop 🧠
I want to share something I’ve been experimenting with that I call S.O.N. Therapy. S.O.N. = Scenario → Old Thought → New Thought The idea is simple: something happens, our brain immediately gives it a meaning, and we react to that meaning as though it’s a fact. S.O.N. helps you slow that process down. 1️⃣ S — Scenario Write down what actually happened “My friend hasn’t replied for 6 hours.” Or "I performed poorly at work today" Or "I feel like I can never get things right" Or "I forgot to do this task and I feel awful about it" 2️⃣ O — Old Thought Ask: “What did my brain immediately tell me this means?” “They don’t like me anymore.” “I’ve done something wrong.” “They’re going to leave me.” "I'm a failure" You’re not trying to argue with the thought. You’re simply identifying it. 3️⃣ N — New Thought Now create a realistic alternative interpretation. Not fake positivity: “Everything is definitely fine!” But something you can genuinely believe: For example if your friend hasn't replied: “I don’t know why they haven’t replied. My brain is interpreting the silence as rejection, but I don’t actually have enough information to know that.” The goal isn’t to make the uncomfortable feeling disappear. It’s to practice not automatically believing or obeying the thought. ⸻ 🤖 And here’s where ChatGPT or Claude can make this ridiculously easy. There are two things you need to say to it. 1️⃣ First, teach it S.O.N. Therapy: “I want you to learn a framework I call S.O.N. Therapy. S.O.N. stands for Scenario, Old Thought, New Thought. The Scenario is what actually happened. The Old Thought is my automatic interpretation. The New Thought should be a realistic, balanced alternative interpretation — NOT false reassurance or forced positivity. When I give you a Scenario and Old Thought, help me generate a New Thought that I can genuinely practice. Don’t tell me my fear is definitely untrue; help me consider another realistic interpretation.” 2️⃣ Then, whenever something happens, you can simply type:

@Mark F pleasure! It's been a game changer for me. I like it because it's a quick on the fly trick that doesn't require a deep psychoanalysis - eg thinking about what childhood experiences caused you to have a bad thought and how to journal through it 🤣 which is also important when you have time. But this is more focused on preventing thinking errors and keeping you on task and helps you just carry on throughout your day with better "mental hygiene" as I like to call it
Who's checked out the AI Prompts in the Resource Hub yet?
If you haven't, here's what you're missing... 15 copy-paste AI prompts built specifically for the ADHD brain — for the moments that normally derail your whole day: → Staring at a task and can't start it → Brain overloaded with too many open loops → Spiralling after a message you can't stop replaying → Losing an entire day to hyperfocus → Forgetting something important and drowning in shame about it You paste them into ChatGPT or Claude, swap a few brackets for your real situation, and it walks you through it like a coach who actually gets how your brain works. It's part of the Resource Hub (free inside the community, alongside the other tools in there) — no extra cost, just go grab it. Drop a 🧠 below if you've used one already, and tell us which prompt saved your day.

These are my favourite: The Task Paralysis Breaker Best for: when you're staring at a task and cannot start Why it works: breaks task initiation down past the point where your brain freezes. I am stuck and cannot start this task: [task]. Break it down into ridiculously small steps that each take less than one minute. Give me the very first step only, then wait for me to say "done" before giving me the next one. Keep me calm, practical, and moving. The Time Blindness Fixer Best for: when you always underestimate how long things take Why it works: accounts for the hidden ADHD tax on every task, the setup, the recovery, the getting-distracted-halfway time your brain usually forgets to count. I think this task will take: [time], but I know I usually underestimate. Help me time-map it realistically by identifying hidden steps, setup time, distractions, and recovery time. Then give me a more realistic time estimate and a simple plan to get it done. The Focus Sprint Coach Best for: when you need help staying on task Why it works: gives your brain an external anchor and a finish line, both of which ADHD brains struggle to hold onto alone. Act like my ADHD focus coach for the next twenty minutes. I am working on: [task]. Help me set one clear target for this sprint, remove likely distractions, and keep me anchored. At the end, ask me what I finished and what the next step is. Make it your own: tell it how long your sprint actually is, twenty minutes or two, whatever's realistic today. The Follow-Through Builder Best for: when you keep starting things but not finishing them Why it works: finds the actual friction point instead of just telling you to "push through," and takes perfectionism off the table. I keep starting but not finishing this: [task or project]. Help me figure out where I am getting stuck, what friction is getting in the way, and how to make finishing easier. Then give me a simple finish line, the next three steps, and a plan to close the loop without perfectionism

@Mark F I haven't tried them yet, actually going to try the hyperfocus one now, I'm about to sort out my photo album - super hyperfocus-y type task - and I don't want it to take over my morning routine

Strengthening your logical brain
🧠 ADHD isn’t just about attention—it’s also about emotions. One of the most overlooked symptoms of ADHD is emotional dysregulation. Many people with ADHD experience emotions that are: ✨ More intense ✨ Quicker to escalate ✨ Harder to let go of You might notice yourself taking rejection very personally, catastrophising after a small setback, feeling overwhelmed by criticism, or making decisions based on how you feel in the moment rather than on the facts. Recently, I was asking ChatGPT if there were any books that could help me become a more logical thinker, especially when my emotions are running high. The goal isn’t to suppress emotions—they’re important. The goal is to strengthen our “logical brain” so we can pause, evaluate the evidence, and choose our response instead of reacting automatically. These are the books it recommended, and I’m hoping to read them over the next few months: 📖 Feeling Good by David D. Burns This book teaches you how to recognise common thinking traps (like catastrophising, black-and-white thinking, and emotional reasoning) and replace them with more balanced, evidence-based thoughts. 📖 The Scout Mindset by Julia Galef This book is about learning to ask, “What’s actually true?” instead of simply believing whatever your emotions or assumptions are telling you. It encourages curiosity and flexible thinking. 📖 Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman This explains the two ways our brains think: a fast, emotional, intuitive system and a slower, more logical, analytical system. It helps you recognise when your brain is jumping to conclusions and how to slow down your thinking. 📖 The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris This book teaches that difficult thoughts and emotions don’t have to control your actions. Instead of trying to get rid of uncomfortable feelings, it helps you respond according to your values rather than your emotions. I’m looking forward to reading these and seeing what I can learn. If they’re helpful, I’ll share my favourite insights and practical strategies here as I go. 😊
