ADHD & Overwhelm

When ADHDers feel overwhelmed, we either:
1️⃣ Shut down completely (avoid everything)
2️⃣ Do everything at once (chaos mode)

✨ Try this instead:
✅ Pause. Breathe. Pick ONE thing.
✅ Use the "Rule of 3" – Prioritize just 3 tasks per day.
✅ Externalize tasks – Get them out of your head & onto paper.

ADHD & Burnout: The "Crash & Recovery" Cycle
ADHD burnout isn’t just exhaustion—it’s a complete shutdown.

⚠️ Signs of ADHD burnout:
❌ You stop caring about things you love
❌ Every little task feels overwhelming
❌ You isolate & avoid responsibilities

🔥 Recovery tip: Give yourself permission to REST. Your brain needs downtime.

ADHD & Motivation: Why "Just Try Harder" Doesn’t Work
ADHD motivation is inconsistent, not because we’re lazy, but because our brains rely on dopamine & interest to engage.

🧠 Hack ADHD motivation:
✅ Make it fun – Turn tasks into a game
✅ Use body doubling – Work with a friend for accountability
✅ Attach a reward – "If I finish this, I get to watch my show."

How to Stop Underestimating Time
⏳ ADHD makes time feel abstract. A "quick task" turns into two hours, and suddenly, you’re late again.

🔥 Fix time blindness:
✅ Use visual timers (Time Timer app)
✅ Set reminders 15 minutes before appointments
✅ Track how long things actually take (most ADHDers underestimate)

If you grew up hearing:
❌ "You’re lazy."
❌ "You never try hard enough."
❌ "Why can’t you just be normal?"

…you might be carrying generational ADHD trauma. It’s time to break the cycle.

💡 Healing starts with:
✅ Self-compassion – You are not your past.
✅ Unlearning toxic beliefs – ADHD is not a "moral failing."
✅ Parenting differently – Supporting ADHD kids without shame.

ADHD & Sensory Overload (Why Noise & Chaos Feel Like Too Much)
Do loud sounds, bright lights, or crowded spaces make you shut down? ADHD often comes with sensory sensitivities that make daily life overwhelming.

🧠 Try this for sensory overload:
✅ Noise-canceling headphones in overstimulating environments
✅ Soft, comfortable clothing for sensory-friendly workdays
✅ Sensory breaks – Step away from chaos to reset

ADHD perfectionism = paralysis. If it can’t be perfect, we don’t even start.

🔥 Break the cycle:
✅ Lower the bar – "I just need to get it done."
✅ Set time limits – Give yourself 30 minutes, then submit it.
✅ Separate self-worth from productivity – You are not your to-do list.

ADHD affects how we communicate—we interrupt, forget important details, or struggle with emotional regulation. This can cause tension in relationships.

💬 Improve communication with ADHD:
✅ Ask for clarity – "Can you repeat that? I want to make sure I got it."
✅ Use a "Pause" Rule – If upset, take 10 minutes before responding.
✅ Own your ADHD – Explain how it affects communication & brainstorm solutions together.

ADHD emotions = INTENSE. One small thing can spiral into complete overwhelm.

💡 Try this when emotions take over:
1️⃣ Pause & Name It – "I’m feeling overstimulated."
2️⃣ Regulate First – Walk, deep breaths, or cold water on wrists.
3️⃣ THEN Problem-Solve – ADHD brains need time to process before reacting.

🧠 Emotional regulation is a learnable skill. Give yourself grace.

ADHD & Career Changes: When It’s Time to Move On
If you’ve job-hopped a lot, you might feel guilty—but ADHDers need stimulation, challenge, and growth. If your job doesn’t provide that, burnout is inevitable.

🚩 Signs It’s Time for a Career Change:
✅ You’re constantly bored & disengaged
✅ You only get work done when panic kicks in
✅ You keep getting negative feedback on "time management"

💡 Instead of forcing yourself into a job that doesn’t fit, find work that plays to your ADHD strengths—creativity, problem-solving, and big-picture thinking.

ADHD & Self-Advocacy: How to Speak Up for Your Needs
ADHD can make self-advocacy hard. We second-guess ourselves, avoid confrontation, or struggle to explain what we actually need.

✨ Try these self-advocacy phrases:
➡️ "I work best with clear deadlines and expectations."
➡️ "Can we communicate this in writing? I process information better that way."
➡️ "I need time to recharge so I can do my best work."

📢 Your needs are valid. Learning to self-advocate at work, in relationships, and as a parent can be life-changing.
