We are Marcus and Esme O’Kayvius (not our real names), a married, neurodivergent couple with a lot of experience managing our own mental health issues while raising a daughter and navigating the dystopic hellscape that is corporate America. Join us each week as we discuss trending mental health issues and explore how they impact our health and wellness. We’ll also examine the myths and misconceptions associated with mental health and what we can do about them.

HYPERFOCUS BONUS: But That Happened Before I was Diagnosed!","slug":"89-hyperfocus-bonus-but-that-happened-before-i-was-diagnosed","published_at":"2026-03-06T21:16:04+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crazy-together-7119114/89-hyperfocus-bonus-but-that-happened-before-i-was-diagnosed","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crazy-together-7119114","url":"https://crazytogetherpod.podbean.com/e/89-hyperfocus-bonus-but-that-happened-before-i-was-diagnosed/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/pd7gwz9e78gp5mwh/CT_089_HpF_Bonus.mp3","summary":"Most people have at least one cringe-inducing memory: the kind of memory that can come flooding back all of a sudden and trigger a spasm of embarrassment and regret throughout your entire body. People with ADHD tend to have a lot more of those memories, especially if they were diagnosed later in life. The years we spent acting on impulses and chasing dopamine without knowing why all but guarantees we’ll have at least one or two memories we’d prefer to forget. So, what should we do if we can’t forget them? How about we try to own them instead? That’s the experiment Marcus and Esme are trying in this week’s Hyperfocus Bonus. They each take turns sharing an embarrassing memory that was the direct result of poor decisions they made with their pre-diagnosis brains in the hopes of stripping those memories of their power. But that’s not all – they’re also inviting you, the listeners - to share your own stories if you feel comfortable. Simply send them an e-mail at crazytogetherpod@gmail.com with your own cringe-inducing pre-diagnosis story and they might feature it in an upcoming episode!","meta_description":"Most people have at least one cringe-inducing memory: the kind of memory that can come flooding back all of a sudden and trigger a spasm of embarrassment…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1261,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/crazy-together-7119114/episodes/89-hyperfocus-bonus-but-that-happened-before-i-was-diagnosed/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crazy-together-7119114/89-hyperfocus-bonus-but-that-happened-before-i-was-diagnosed.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
