ADHD is a Pain

ADHD is a Pain

CONTENT WARNING: The second half of this episode contains open and honest conversations about self-harm. If you're not in a place to hear that content, please feel free to leave after the ad break.


In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to discuss the nuances of experience pain with ADHD- chronic, injury and self-inflicted. They talk about the effect of pain on ADHD and how ADHD's common manifestations (executive dysfunction, time perception, dopamine deficiency, lack of stimulus) can lead to a very different relationship with pain.


DID YOU KNOW? Nearly three-quarters of adults with ADHD reported experiencing common, painful conditions such as headaches, back pain, and joint pain. Another study published in the Journal of Pain Research found that ADHD was more prevalent in patients with chronic pain. Additionally, a study published in PLOS One found that children and adolescents with chronic pain were more likely to have neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD.

Ritz Crackers in the Sky

Cate talks about pile-on task management, Erik talks task debt, and they discuss the difference between starting and overwhelm with task management and ADHD.

Detention and Girl Scouts

Detention and Girl Scouts

In this episode of Infinite Quest, Cate and Erik return from an ADHD-detail induced overwhelm hiatus and *ease* back into Infinite Quest by performing what Cate is pretty sure are two Infinite Quest firsts, back to back, neither of which are what we'd call "family friendly". Cate tells the story of her once-arch-nemesis, and Erik spends most of the podcast in detention.

D*cks on the Moon

D*cks on the Moon

In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down (finally) get back down to Infinite Quest business with a very meandering episode. Cate has anxiety about meandering and Erik has *feelings*, and we discuss the pros and cons of drawing genitalia on various planetary bodies and how sometimes being honest can be a bit messy.

ADHD & Hygiene Pt 1: Tasks Add Up

ADHD & Hygiene Pt 1: Tasks Add Up

In part one of this two-part episode, Cate and Erik sit down to talk about some of the more difficult and stigmatized issues that face ADHDers, in particular, hygiene. Showering, teeth brushing, cleaning our kitchens- all of those are tasks that require executive function (and, in Cate's case, working anti-depressants) to happen, which is NOT happening for us this week. Also Cate makes Infinite Quest history by being the first person to say "stinky butthole" on the podcast.

"Burnt" Sucked And Here's Why

"Burnt" Sucked And Here's Why

Just to be clear, you do not have to have seen Burnt to enjoy this episode, but it helps. In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to make a podcast and accidentally wind up making one about how much they hated Netflix's 'Burnt', starring Bradley Cooper, who is a very good actor in a very, very bad movie. Erik unpacks toxic masculinity and the expectations put on men in media and Cate spends a weird amount of time yelling about how shitty it is to put rats in someone's restaurant which honestly isn't something we feel like needs to be said, but here we are.

Cate Runs A Mile

Cate Runs A Mile

In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to talk about ADHD and changes to routine but in all honesty it kind of turns into a weird conversation about how bad Cate is at going to the gym and why. We discuss the challenges of neurodivergency in the very public arena of gym-going and how a single task can suddenly become a stack of 50 with little warning.

Compounding Complications and ADHD

In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to discuss the challenges of challenges becoming more challenging challenges by way of compounding complications. It makes more sense when you listen. They discuss the ups and downs of the holiday season, the pressures of remembering details and how quickly little tasks can become big tasks when you're living life with ADHD.

Clutter? I hardly know her.

Clutter? I hardly know her.

In this episode, Cate and Erik come clean (get it? See what I did there?) about the role that mess & clutter play in their lives. They talk about the thought process that keeps clutter happening and what it's like to live in the liminal space of "all or nothing thinking". Cate also spends a weird amount of time talking about "aesthetic". Not a lot of solutions in this one, but a lot of honesty around ADHD and mess.

In this from-the-bed episode, Cate says "horny" a record number of times in a single podcast and also Erik talks about chemistry and how it led him to the perfect pesto recipe. They discuss how hyperfixations have shaped their past, present and future and set out to share their favorite hyperfixations, but, like most episodes, don't exactly get to the point.

Cate shares a recent debacle and Erik talks long-term planning and ADHD. They discuss the common assumptions made about Neurodivergency and memory and offer a few insights on how to deal.

They discuss the insidious nature of ADHD burnout and what it's like to manage work/life balance as a content creator when life IS content, and Cate manages to shoehorn in how badly she wants to be on Dimension 20 for the 100th time this year.

The Future is Now: Time Management and ADHD

Welcome back to Infinite Quest Podcast! After a very, very long few weeks, Erik and Cate are finally back in the studio together and trying to ...well, get on top of everything that got dropped during the last ridiculous month. They discuss the challenges of managing and planning time with ADHD, from two very different perspectives.  Erik opens up about the future, Cate opens up about burn-out and self-regulation, but it's safe to say that we're back and In Our Feels about the very real struggles we're having right now.

Welcome back to ADHDnD! In this episode Cate...I mean, Helvetica, gets her Greatest Wish and the team visits a library...and it doesn't exactly go to plan. Blumken does something so adorable that Cate cries in real life, and the team navigates another dangerous area of the ADHDND facility. Our fearless DM, Chris, puts up with a lot of questions about the Dewey Decimal system and we get even closer to the exciting conclusion of Season One.

Trebuchets of Increasing Size

Trebuchets of Increasing Size

In this episode, Cate and Erik semi-triumphantly return back from GenCon and settle back into the podcast with a big announcement about trebuchets. The announcement is big, the size of the trebuchet is yet to be determined. We'd say that there is a GenCon update but that's a lie.

Roleplaying vs. Mechanics: A Neurodivergent Allegory

Welcome back to Infinite Quest!!

Cate and Erik are back after their break (and some unplanned life stuff) to debut season THREE, and oh boy do they start off with some...thoughts. A lot of thoughts. Thoughts about thoughts about thoughts. They discuss new revelations about TTRPGS, roleplaying, and how the microcosm of game play can help inform the macrocosm of life, in general. Bailey also makes a guest appearance as the official PodDog of Infinite Quest Industries.

The Spoons of Kindness

In this episode, Cate and Erik invite you to take a breath and feel whatever it is you need to feel right now. There's a lot going on We talk about our relationship to kindness, how it matters, fundamentally, but how it isn't always the easiest thing. We unpack some of the work needed to be *truly* kind and discuss just how important kindness can be, not only on the individual level, but also to our communities as a whole.

Cart Before The Horse

Cart Before The Horse

In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to talk about over versus underpreparing in conversation with ADHD and the curse of all-or-nothing-thinking when it comes to *actually* getting stuff done. They discuss how planning for something big (like a new web series...) can be made even more stressful by the idea that it has to be perfectly done or not at all, and how scary it is to be on the verge of something big, especially when you never know when that hyper-fixation will wear off.

Gas Tanks and Pilots

In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to discuss a therapy breakthrough (and perspective adjustment) that Cate recently had. We talk about ADHD task management, how 'leaving things until you HAVE to' can make more work on the back end, and how frustrating it is to feel immobilized by not having enough momentum to start. In the back half, they make the biggest announcement in Infinite Quest history and ask if there are any experts in the house. Get ready, Summer 2022 is going to be WEIRD.

ADHD & Impulsive Decision Making

ADHD & Impulsive Decision Making

CW: This is a particularly vulnerable episode, especially towards the end.

Impulsive decision-making is a hallmark of the ADHD brain. However, the grown-up reality is that sometimes, impulsive decisions affect more than just you. Sometimes, impulsive decisions can hurt others. In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to discuss what happens when you make a mistake, when you rush into the "yes", when you overcommit or rush into something before doing your due diligence, and what effect that can have emotionally when the repercussions of those rash decisions come back to remind you of your previous shortcomings.
