📑  Video Summary:  
ADHD Meltdowns: THE BIG SUNDAY MELTDOWN 3:25
FIGHTING BETTER:  How I've learnt to fight better with my partner 8:22

🔖 TAKEAWAYS:
ADHD Meltdowns: Talk your partner through your meltdown and just open a waterfall of consciousness on the experience. NOTHING IS TOO STUPID TO SAY. Even if in the middle of it you say "Vanilla Coke Panty" just LET IT OUT without aggression or with as little aggression as you can muster. Review and keep getting better and better at being okay with things not being okay because any progress is progress and even regression is progress and what's most important is you keep your head up!

ADHD Fighting: 
1. GET A NOTEBOOK. Brew a tea.
2. Listen to them. Don't rebut. HOLD YOUR PEACE (JK write it all down).
3. ASK QUESTIONS TO CLARIFY.
4. Relook at your notes and link them up if you see links (which I do alottttt).
5. Last check of your notes.
6. Sip of water.
7. HOLD HANDS (I forgot to say this but it helps so much! Unless you're writing in which let go awhile in between)
8. SAY YOUR PEACE WITH LOVE  🎤
9. Repeat until you both end up congratulating yourselves on having an amazing discussion.

🥊 In case you missed it, here is me Freestyling on Friday: https://youtu.be/Wue7qau2kpg 
Which I understand is a misleading title because I am not rapping so I might change the title, or rap this week(?!?!?!) 

🔮 Today I woke up only half an hour late and stayed stuck in bed for 20 minutes! Which is an improvement so I will be giving myself a sticker. Do you have trouble waking up too??

🎵 The songs that are in the background for this video are on SoundCloud and I've decided to put the links for DL up + upload the track with cover art on YouTube AT SOME POINT without hating myself for not doing EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME.
