ADHD isn’t just forgetfulness or chaos.
It’s executive dysfunction. It’s nervous system overload.
It’s the guilt of knowing what you should do — and watching yourself not do it. Again.

It’s not fun or quirky when it’s your actual life.

And if you’ve lived like this for years, without support?
Of course it’s hard.
Of course you’re tired.
Of course your systems fall apart sometimes.

You don’t need a personality makeover.
You need understanding.
You need support that fits you.

So many of us grew up thinking “hyperactivity” just meant being loud or climbing on furniture.
But for a lot of neurodivergent people — especially those assigned female or socialised to mask — it never looked like that.

It looked like mental noise.
Like urgency with nowhere to go.
Like feeling restless all the time, and having no idea why.

Internal hyperactivity is just as real. And just as valid.

You’re not lazy. You’re not imagining it.
Your brain is working overtime — even if no one else can see it.

Ever get stuck in a thought loop you can’t seem to shake?

Not just overthinking — but full brain-lock, where it pulls you back in even when you know it won’t help?

This is called perseveration — and it’s really common in autism and AuDHD.

Your brain’s not broken.
It’s doing its best to protect you… but the loop doesn’t always lead to clarity — it just keeps you stuck.

This is a real cognitive experience — and no, it’s not the same as rumination, obsession or hyperfixation. (Even if it sometimes looks like it.)

Swipe through to learn what it is — and what helps.

And if you want therapy that actually understands how your brain works, pop by my profile — there’s loads more there for ND minds.

You don’t have to be visibly distressed to be struggling.
A lot of us learned to say “I’m fine” on autopilot — because it felt safer than the alternative.

You’re not lazy.
You’re not making excuses.
You’re doing your best with a brain that’s running a completely different operating system.
And it’s okay to grieve how hard it’s been — before you start figuring out new ways to work with it.

Ever been called lazy? Let’s reframe that.
Struggling to start tasks, feeling wiped after errands, or needing more rest than others isn’t laziness — it’s your nervous system asking for care.
It might be executive dysfunction, burnout, or just your brain doing what it needs to survive.
You’re not broken.
Save this for later.

Healing doesn’t always feel like fireworks.
Sometimes it’s tiny shifts, quiet moments, and invisible resilience.
You are growing — even when no one sees it.
You are doing better than you think.

Save this for the days it’s hard to believe it.
Tag someone who might need the reminder today.

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all — especially when you’re neurodivergent.

If therapy’s ever felt like it didn’t “work,” it might be because it wasn’t built for your brain.

I’m Lauren — a BABCP-accredited therapist and an autistic ADHDer.
I offer affirming online CBT for ADHD, autism, and AuDHD adults across the UK.
