This week I open up about the lesser-discussed, more difficult aspects of living with ADHD—especially during unstructured times like school holidays. From life admin paralysis to social anxiety, burnout, and Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD), I share raw personal insights into the emotional and practical toll ADHD can take.
Key Takeaways:
Why everyday tasks like replying to emails or making phone calls can feel overwhelming
How ADHD can lead to chronic procrastination and task paralysis
The role of deadlines in motivation—and how they contribute to burnout
How sleep issues and circadian rhythm differences affect ADHD brains
The unique social anxieties ADHDers may face, especially in women’s groups
The emotional rollercoaster of ADHD, including depression and intense highs and lows
What Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) is and how it impacts communication
The importance of finding community and being honest about ADHD struggle
