RSD can hit like a punch to the gut—sometimes from something as simple as a comment or a text.

It’s that intense emotional reaction to real or imagined rejection, criticism, or failure.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood in conversat...

Boredom isn’t just boring when you have ADHD — it can actually feel physically painful!

(Like wearing an itchy sweater you can’t take off!)

In this episode, we’re diving into why boredom hits so much harder for ADHD brains, what lengths we’ll go to avoid it (hello, endless scrolling), and why trying to escape boredom all the time can backfire.

Yeah. Me too.

Ever notice how draining it is to be around certain people or in certain environments? Like, your ADHD batteries go from 80% to dead real fast?
That’s not in your head, my friend. Your nervous system knows when you’re safe… and when you’re not.

Ever find yourself drowning in shoulds?

🚨 I should be more productive.
🚨 I should have my life together by now.
🚨 I should be able to do this like everyone else.

But here’s the thing—"should" is one of the most toxic words for ADHD brains. It fuels shame, keeps us stuck, and makes us feel like we’re constantly failing.

If you’ve ever asked yourself that question, you’re not alone.
