ADHD Problems - Phone Habits 📱

If you have ADHD, your phone habits might swing between two extremes:

1️⃣ Ignoring your phone completely – unread messages and missed calls. This can happen because:
- Task paralysis
- Forgetting to check messages
- Feeling overwhelmed by notifications

2️⃣ Rapid-fire texting – sending lots of messages at once (often about totally different topics). This can happen because:
- Bursts of hyperfocus & excitement
- Fear of forgetting what you wanted to say
- Low impulse control when enthusiastic

Share your phone habits in the comments section!

Mania/ Hypomania Episode Symptoms ⚡

Mania and hypomania are periods of overactive and high energy behaviour.

While mania and hypomania share some of the same symptoms, they differ in intensity: Mania is more severe and tends to cause significant disruptions in daily life, such as difficulties at work, school, and in social relationships. It can also lead to a loss of touch with reality, known as psychosis, which does not typically occur with hypomania.

These are some of the signs to look for if you or your loved one experience mania or hypomania.

"Quiet room and sensory pod open at airport" ✈️

East Midlands Airport has opened a new quiet room and sensory pod to support neurodivergent travellers and people with anxiety.

Customer services manager Chris Drury has said "The sensory pod encapsulates you away from the main part of the terminal, so we have interactive lights and games and gadgets that help a portion of our customer base.

You do not need to show any proof to use the facilities as they are available for anyone who feels they would benefit from them.

This is great news 👏
