I’m quite certain when you’ve read the title of this message you read live together when it actually says live together… I’m thinking about doing a live get together… Just interested to see who would be up for that? I’ll happily sort it out so there it is agreeable but everyone around the world but let me know in the comments whether you are actually interested in doing that

Thought maybe I would start this to see what sort of feel good videos give you a dopamine hit. This video just hits different when it’s signed and feels like a call to arms. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRW4KmPg/

I was cheeky enough to get myself a free pass to this event set up by one of my Instagram subscribers to watch and listen to the amazing Alex Partridge… I even wrote a script, directed, appeared and edited a short film To highlight RSD in real-life, real-time. And now I’m caught in a fog of imposter syndrome; genuinely thinking all of the thoughts & comments I scripted for the short film. I’m never star struck! But Alex was the one who opened my eyes to late diagnosis of ADHD shortly after my diagnosis 3 years ago. This meeting means something. The first person to make me feel seen, understood & not imaginary! And yet, until last week, he didn’t have a clue who I was. All through the power of content. RSD was the big one; 20k comments before you reach, puberty (was it?). Really clever ways of explaining in his middle England way. It was what I needed at a really rough time coming towards the end of my 40s. Over the last 3 months I’ve had some social media success myself.. a video on TikTok about internalised echolalia hit 57k views and 6k likes; a coupla months later another video about the Hunter Gatherer theory that is still climbing today at just shy of 300k views & 27k likes & others about medication, nutrition, other symptoms & traits… even a couple of collaborations with Instagram.com/@neurosisters0 and instragram.com/jaybcoaching … but it took months to get here. And the biggest effort of all came from and still comes from my own voice in my head telling me I’m not good enough, everything is my fault. I’m paradoxically both too much & not enough!! Finding alternative ways to post content… AI Apps, text over an image, adverts, business consultants who swear they can get anyone to £30k a month from one set of badly written templates on a Google Doc!! Every time I film now, I am still massively self-conscious about who else might be walking the dog, what the kids or wife think I’m doing or that anyone actually watches them at all. I find a quiet spot, look around at least ten times then record a 2-10 second passage.
