Catie and Erik's Infinite Quest: An ADHD Adventure

It's very important for you to know going in that Erik recorded this ENTIRE EPISODE dressed as Captain America. In what might *actually* be our most controversial episode ever, Cate and Erik talk about the ongoing debate in the ADHD community about whether or not calling ADHD a superpower is helpful or harmful. They also FINALLY disagree about something and get into a very not at all heated debate (which Cate immediately freaks out about because ~trauma~). Ultimately, we both agree that even if you don't agree with us, we wanted to do an episode to talk about our own thoughts and feelings on this often-asked question.

Content Warning: In this episode, Cate and Erik get pretty honest and open up about the often negative emotions and frustrations that come along with managing life with ADHD. We talk about some of our past trauma (well, mostly Cate) and how that has shaped our relationship to anger, stress and our personal frustration tolerance. Erik touches more on his relationship to music, and Cate VERY nearly gets away with avoiding the question altogether. Also there is a bird.     Check out our tour schedule at: Tour Dates (infinitequestpodcast.com) Find us on TikTok and Instagram at: @catieosaurus @heygude    We also stream daily on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/catie0saurus https://ww.twitch.tv/heygude Media/Business Email: infinitequestpodcast@gmail.com Find all of our links and cool stuff at: www.infinitequestpodcast.com

Cate went on antidepressants and all you get is this lousy episode. In this Very Special Episode, Cate and Erik talk about their experiences and their relationship to medication and its effect on their lives, as well as some common (and uncommon) stigmas, ideologies and opinions about mental health and medication, as well as some of the more common questions we get about it.

Warning: Cate is dealing with a major depressive episode this week, and so this week's episode is far more casual than maybe is usual. We talk about going back to school, our success and failures in academics, our special interests and why they excite us, and what it's like to meet someone who passionately gives a f*ck (and what it's like when someone doesn't). Cate also tells a horror story from the first year of her very-short-lived teaching career and Erik talks about his decisions to drop out of school (three times). We also get a phone call.          Check out our tour schedule at: Tour Dates (infinitequestpodcast.com) Find us on TikTok and Instagram at: @catieosaurus @heygude    We also stream daily on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/catie0saurus https://ww.twitch.tv/heygude Media/Business Email: infinitequestpodcast@gmail.com Find all of our links and cool stuff at: www.infinitequestpodcast.com

In this episode, Cate and Erik bring their own experiences with burnout to the table, and discover that they have *slightly* different understandings of burnout. We talk the pressures of high achievement, the profound loss that ADHD sometimes brings to new ideas, and discuss absolutely 0 ways to fix it, this is kind of a "feels and rants" episode this week. Warning: we do get pretty vulnerable in this episode, so maybe grab some snacks to get you through.

In this very time-blind episode, Blumken and Helvetica find themselves on the precipice of an exciting discovery about who-- or WHAT-- the mysterious entity keeping them trapped in this alternate realm is, and decide the best thing to do is pee on it. I dunno, it's DnD, sometimes it makes sense in the moment. This is the final episode from our live one shot that we recorded at PlayOnCon. Once again, we just want to say thanks to the kind people at PlayOnCon for having us and hosting us- we had an incredible time. Up next- Davenport, Iowa.

(Alternate Episode Title: "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is" but Cate couldn't decide which one was funnier). In this episode, Cate and Erik discuss time blindness- what it is, how it affects their lives, and some tips, tricks and the COOL STRATS they use to help manage their time, and talk about the challenges and difficulties they face in never knowing exactly what time it is.  We also get into a fight. Okay like...the exact opposite thing as a fight. Also the Patreon Song is the most ARTISTICALLY complex thing you've ever heard in your entire life.
