2024/02/22

Well, thankfully we start out on a high note with an announcement about our brand new Unpaid Intern Merch because today we're talking about Postpartum Psychosis and every single piece of nightmare fuel that entails. It's terrifying, horrifying, and tragic all at the same time - but there IS HELP AVAILABLE!

2024/02/15

Have you ever thought - damn, I am bad at cleaning myself! - well, if you have ADHD, you're not alone. Any number of things can contribute to struggles with hygiene for ADHDers - executive functioning deficits, depression (seasonal or clinical), sensory aversions, and even burnout. Tune in to hear how Katie & Garet deal with hygiene obstacles, and sometimes overcome them while sometimes we don't actually overcome them at all.

The Bar is Ankle High ·

2024/02/08

It's almost Valentine's Day - and let's be honest, dating with ADHD is a fraught mine field of obstacles, rejection sensitivity, and awkwardness. Katie took over the research this week and the ladies discuss dating with ADHD - and jumping off our attachment theory episodes, it's a perfect time to examine how we dated before we were diagnosed with ADHD and things we would do differently now.

E77: Eye Exam Chat Roulette

The Bar is Ankle High ·

2024/02/01

We are concluding our discussion on Attachment Theory today - sort of. Because this is a topic that Garet could research forever and ever, but while we chose to cut this off and give an overview, Katie also shares a tale of how she made the most wildly unhinged off-the-cuff comment to her optometry technician and her recent eye exam that will make you question everything you know about telehealth appointments.

E75: Doing The Jiminy Glick

The Bar is Ankle High ·

2024/01/18

This week we are here and we're ready to RAGE. Katie takes the reigns on research and discusses Oppositional Defiant Disorder - a diagnosis that is in the DSM V - but should it be? We go in depth on this topic and the alleged overlap with ADHD that splits hairs and makes distinctions that we can't really see even if we squint really hard. One thing is for sure - the children with occupational defiance disorder yearn for the mines! We've got a big update to our Patreon - there's just one tier -

E74: New Boot Goofin’ Dreams

The Bar is Ankle High ·

2024/01/11

We're doing what everyone else does in early January - we're circling back to that thing we talked about in mid-December...but instead of your boss asking you for an update on that project, it's Garet telling us the nitty gritty bullshit tornado that is Postpartum Anxiety (a/k/a PPA). We hear a lot of anecdotes from Garet about her own journey with anxiety both pre-pregnancy, peri-partum-ally, and postpartum. Tune in for some community and know that you are not alone and you do not need to be

E73: All Panic All The Time No Disco

The Bar is Ankle High ·

2024/01/04

We've been teasing this topic for a LONG time and now, Katie is finally telling us all about microdosing PCP and magic mushrooms. So drop some acid and crank up your headphones to get the lowdown on this trendy practice of takeing sub-psychosis doses of mind-altering substances. Some folks claim microdosing has helped cure their depression, severe PTSD, ADHD, extreme anxiety and other phobias - but what does the science say?

2023/12/28

Happy New Years! As an ADHDer, do you struggle with New Years' Resolutions? Whether it's picking a resolution to commit to, actually committing to the resolution you picked, or getting caught up in the excitement of other peoples' resolutions and overwhelming yourself with too many projects - we thought it was time we discuss tips for setting a great New Years Resolution if you're neurodivergent. Garet is pumping during this episode again so we apologize if you hear her machine going at it in the

E71: The Feast of the Ass

The Bar is Ankle High ·

2023/12/21

Happy Winter Solstice!! This year, instead of Garet being dressed like Krampus, Katie took over the research and teaches us all about the Newgrange Druid World Heritage Site, Mari Lwyd (pronounced Mah-ree Lloyd) a Welsh tradition that is like Krampus but involves more horse skulls than we're comfortable with. Katie also tells Garet about the famous Feast of the Ass which neither of us have heard of but is apparently a real thing...allegedly. Remember - the days start getting longer as of RIGHT NOW

2023/12/14

Here's part 3 of our current venture into the 4th Trimester and what that means for your postpartum body, hormones, brain health, and everything else. We will absolutely be revisiting this topic in the future as Garet becomes our resident hormone expert, but over on Patreon, ALL of our Patreon subscribers have gotten access to an extended cut of this episode which we know is already super long but can you believe it is even longer?!

E69: Baby Blues Jazz Lounge

The Bar is Ankle High ·

2023/12/07

Today we continue our discussion on the 4th Trimester, postpartum depression (PPD) and postpartum anxiety and we actually get into the factual discussions for each of these conditions and what separates them from just "the baby blues." As usual, we get distracted by ourselves and promote Garet's baby to the Owner of Poop Acre Manor - a title that we're pretty sure she's earned at this point because damn that kid can let it fly when she wants to! Reminder - all patreon subscribers are still getting

E68: More Narrow Than A Chimpanzee

The Bar is Ankle High ·

2023/11/30

GARET IS BACK! Garet is FINALLY back from her dumb baby vacation and is giving us the low down on post-partum life and hormones. That's right - would it really even be a Garet welcome back episode if we didn't spend it talking about yeeting yourself off a hormone cliff 24 hours after delivering a baby? We also hear a little bit about Katie's new job and getting run over by a bus that tries to suck your nipples off. In the words of Garet's doctor, "That's a really weird bus..." Our cup runneth over

E67: Conspiracy Trains

The Bar is Ankle High ·

2023/11/23

This week Jami Fregeau - The Neurodivergent Nurse - takes the lead on researching and tells Katie about how Paul "Buster" Murdaugh - accused murderer who himself was murdered by his own father - had ADHD. We discuss the darker sides and signs of ADHD in teens and young adults including the downfalls of substance abuse, emotional dysregulation, and how white privilege can actually handicap you more than ADHD ever could. It's the last week before Garet comes back from maternity leave and we are SO

The Bar is Ankle High ·

2023/11/16

Once again we are joined by Jami Fregeau, The Neurodivergent Nurse, and this week we are discussing a new study published by Standford University researchers where they managed to isolate specific genes related to, and potentially causing, Autism Spectrum Disorder. We discuss the unique features of human brain development (as opposed to ape or other lab animal brain development) and get into how the researchers were able to narrow things down and see brain cells reach out to each other LIVE in a

E65: ADHD Did What Now?

The Bar is Ankle High ·

2023/11/09

This week Katie is joined by the incalculably talented Katie Charlwood, host of the history podcast Who Did What Now?, the history podcast that's NOT your history class. Ms. Charlwood also has ADHD, so the Katies get into discussion on podcasting when the rejection sensitivity and justice sensitivity get to be too much to bear. The ladies delve into the ethics of true crime podcasts as a branch of history podcasting and the importance of getting the names of historical figures correct and not

E64: Smutty Confessions

The Bar is Ankle High ·

2023/11/02

It is the conclusion of our 3-part series on the history of Pennhurst State School and Hospital and this week Katie did a lot of spooky research that, honestly, scared the crap out of her. We also discuss the ethics of participating in ghost hunts and haunted houses in places like Pennhurst where the history of the location is truly traumatizing for the residents who were subjected to the torture and confinement. We also take a pretty crazy detour back into werewolf porn and Katie confesses perhaps

E63: A Potpie of Ailments

The Bar is Ankle High ·

2023/10/26

Welcome to Part 2 of our 3 part series on the history of Pennhurst State School. Last week we covered the history through Mr. Bill Baldini's expose that showed just how extreme the abuse of children and handicapped people was at the Pennhurst institution. From deliberately degrading patients, causing intense physical pain to exert authority and control, to the legislature denying the medical need for female patients to have bras, the abuse was infected into every ounce of this place. This week,

E62: Doctor Fear’s Medical School

The Bar is Ankle High ·

2023/10/19

What was Pennhurst State School? Was it a school? A hospital? A mental health treatment facility? Turns out it wasn't really any of those things and instead is better identified as "Pennsylvania's Shame." The Pennhurst State School was borne out of a eugenicist idea that individuals with intellectual, developmental, or physical disabilities are "other" and should not be permitted to intermingle with "preferred" society. For 80 years, Pennhurst State School was a place where suffering was the norm

2023/10/12

This one comes at you from our Patreon Dysfunction Junction Vault - even though Garet is on maternity leave when you're hearing this, that will be over soon and we'll be back on our Dysfunction Junction bullshit train. Meaning that more of this mayhem will be available EXCLUSIVELY on Patreon soon. But this episode is just too good to not share with everyone. Stemming from a different Patreon episode we released back in April 2023, this week Katie gives Garet a baby shower gift of the story of the
