How ByGollyMolly12, an Olympic medalist with ADHD, focuses on training. Molly unpacks her journey with incredible insights.
This transcript has been edited for clarity.Molly Seidel is one of only three American women to medal in the Olympics in one of the most brutal of events, the marathon. Even with all of her triumphs in competition, perhaps what's even more remarkable about Molly is her success in overcoming a series of mental health challenges. In this first episode of a multi-segment video for WebMD, Molly unpacks her journey with incredible insights.
A lot of mine centered around repeated knocking on wood in various sequences. It was incredibly disruptive over my life. But I became very good at hiding it to the degree that my parents didn't really notice it for a long time. It's just something that we've had to learn. My parents had been on this journey with me through the years of learning how to talk about that, even when I was the one who decided to check myself into eating disorder treatment. That was a pretty tough thing for our family when I talk about that, because it's hard for any parent to see your kid going through that. I think it's even harder when they realize,"Ooh, we did not see this.
That comes down to a lot of talk therapy and various somatic therapies. And the big one for me is super-regular meditation, mindfulness practice, and breathwork, because I kind of operate on a very high-strung, very overstimulated level, and I struggle with coming down. That's when it's almost this sense of spiraling, or like I really feel wound up and I just can't stop.
