This is the "You Are A Lot" (an ADHD/AuDHD podcast), and I'm your host, Jen Kirkman. Has anyone ever said to you, "Um, you're kind of a lot?" If they have, this podcast is your new favorite show. Welcome to You Are a Lot in ADHD, AuDHD podcast. I'm your host Jen Kirkman. On this show, I talk about my personal experience of my later-in-life diagnosis as an AuDHD human. That is ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder. I discuss the latest research and I aim to create an affirming lesson from neurodivergent people, helping us all to feel less confused, more connected, and as a result, fully validated.2023 Biografías y Memorias Ciencias Sociales Higiene y Vida Saludable Psicología Psicología y Salud Mental

    Ep# 72: Why Do My Feelings Change So Fast With ADHD & AuDHD?
    Feb 23 2026
    To get this episode ad-free as well as a video version and E-book visit the Patreon join page for more info and a free trial. Why do your feelings change so fast with ADHD or AuDHD? How can you go from crying to fine in ten minutes? Why does it feel like the first feeling never even happened once it's gone? In episode #72 Why Do My Feelings Change So Fast With ADHD & AuDHD? I go over how fast feelings shift in ADHD and AuDHD through Emotional Self-Monitoring (Thomas E. Brown's executive function model) and Impaired Hindsight (Russell Barkley). I get into how ADHD affects tracking feelings over time, how attention changes what feels most true in the moment, and why it can be hard to recall how intense a feeling was once it passes. You'll hear language for describing fast switching in relationships and daily life, plus a clear way to explain to others: "That felt true earlier, and this feels true now."

Why do you want something and also don't? In episode #71 ADHD and AuDHD: Why Feelings Feel Permanent, I talk about when you feel two opposite feelings at the same time. Don't worry. You're not unstable! You're emotionally complex. Listen if you want to learn how we process multiple feelings at the same time, how our attention determines what feeling is "true" in the moment, and how relationships and situations can influence our mixed feelings.

    Ep #70 - ADHD and AuDHD: Why Feelings Feel Permanent
    Feb 9 2026
    To get this episode ad-free as well as a video version and E-book visit the Patreon join page for more info and a free trial. Why does it feel like the emotion you're in right now is going to last forever? In episode #70 ADHD and AuDHD: Why Feelings Feel Permanent, I explore why we struggle to hold onto the idea that feelings change because when one shows up, our attention locks onto it, making it feel permanent and all-encompassing. I explain how time perception, working memory, and emotional regulation affects the way we predict our future feelings. You'll learn all about Affective Forecasting, and Impact Bias. I'll help you make sense of why feelings feel so intense, and convincing. Listen to learn language for things that are common with feelings but are rarely explained.
