The more you learn about ADHD when you actually have it…
wow, you arent just sh*t at life, you were served a hand that not EVERYONE was dealt...
I really thought I was just sh*t at life.
OVERLY energetic or LAZY AF
Flaky
Overly emotional.
Too much… or not enough
Constantly chasing validation and instant gratification (aka dopamine hits)
Spending problems, binge eating, all or nothing mindset when it came to day to day things
Then I had kids
And everything got louder, busier, more overwhelming and more amplified
and all the ways I used to “cope”… stopped working.
I was no longer HIGH FUNCTIONING...
The noise.
The mental load.
The constant demands.
Suddenly I’m forgetting everything, overstimulated, snapping over small things,
and wondering…why the fck am i falling apart !?
“why does this feel so hard for me?”
Not “maybe there’s more going on”
Just… “I should be better at this. WHAT CHANGED!"
But it’s not because you’re failing.
It’s because no one told you your brain needed different support…especially as you moved into motherhood, worked fulltime, and had minimal help...
So tell me…
What’s one “quirky” thing you thought was just you being sh*t at life…
that now you’re like oh… that’s ADHD 👀
