It was SO wonderful to see everyone today at such a fantastic meeting with Anna Wessely. I've uploaded the notes from the meeting.
Thank you all so much!

Thank you so much to Anna and for the notes Nicki.I was late hopping on and had to drop off due to the service pack upgrade I am doing so great to be able to catch up via the notes.
Thank you for the notes and this meeting! I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and am finding out new symptoms everyday. Emotional dysregulation was something I have experienced for a long time but never had a word for it. Now I know why I cry all the time even when I don't mean to and I don't always know why I am crying.
This meet-up was awesome! I gained so much and it was nice to see so many other women that have brains that work like mine!
I was diagnosed at 21 and I rewrote my life with these facts in hand and really was in the same place you are now. Give yourself the grace, space, and time to understand your true brain. Try going on YouTube for some videos of other ladies talking about their experience with ADHD! We experience heightened emotions so when the glass of fizzy pop overspills we end up crying without a clear answer as to why, sometimes fiercely irritable or downright furious! You'll get into the swing of it, I promise!!
Thank you for this amazing meeting. It was so refreshing to be in a "room" with others that get it. I was diagnosed last month with ADHD, I turn 37 this weekend, so a late diagnosis and it was me seeing all the symptoms and saying "hey do that" or "OHHH that explains a lot" then talking to my doctor.
Apologies if I've posted this twice (I'm having one of those days where I seem to be "re-doing" work). If you want to reach out to Anna Wessely, here is her Linked In information: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anna-e-wessely/
