Who else finds themselves waking up from a dream? šŸ˜‚

I always thought it was so weird to see someone staring into space, and then suddenly coming back to reality like they didnā€™t just disappear for a second šŸ˜‚

For years, I avoided even trying to succeed here online! And even when I started creating content, I avoided talking to the camera because I was scared you wouldnā€™t like meā€¦ I was scared I had nothing to sayā€¦ I was scared people would think I was stupidā€¦ And no, this doesnā€™t just happen to me for no reason! Itā€™s called rejection sensitivity.

People with ADHD can develop a strong sensitivity to rejection and failure, especially after years of criticism and experiences that made them feel like they werenā€™t good enough. So sometimes, they use things that happened in the past as ā€œproofā€ that they wonā€™t succeed now eitherā€¦ and that can make them afraid to try, give up, or avoid things that could actually help them move forward.

But you know what I realized after spending so much time here on social media? Iā€™m getting better with timeā€¦ and honestly, I wouldnā€™t be where I am today without going through all that struggle.

I want everyone with ADHD who relates to my experience to NEVER give up on what you want to achieve! Because I promise you, you can get there! Just keep being consistent and face that fear of failureā€¦ I donā€™t care if you cry, but cry and DO IT! ā¤ļø BTW: Iā€™m obsessed with this lip tint

There are basically two types of overwhelm, and today weā€™re talking about the kind that makes you get stuck.

Overwhelm can look like laziness, feeling unable to move, or not knowing how to start. Everything feels complicated and heavy, and it seems like whatever you need to do is going to take hours to finish.

You start feeling like you donā€™t even have a life because youā€™re stuck on one task, and it can bring up a really confusing mix of emotions.

This happens because I have no idea where to start. An ADHD brain automatically breaks each task down into all of its individual steps.

So if I have 10 things to do, my brain breaks each one into 10 smaller steps. Now, instead of feeling like I have 10 things to do, it feels like I have 100.

And thatā€™s why everything I have to do can feel so overwhelming

As a mom with ADHD, one thing that makes working from home harder for me is that I sometimes canā€™t start creating content until the house is in order.

My brain already feels messy enough, and when everything around me is chaotic too, itā€™s just too much.

So I need to tidy up before I can focus.

But when thereā€™s a lot to do, it can turn into:

Messy house ā†’ I canā€™t start working ā†’ I get stuck ā†’ I do nothing for hours ā†’ burnout.

And I think this is one reason moms with ADHD can experience so much burnout.

Whether we work outside the home or not, so much of the responsibility still falls on us. Cleaning, cooking, managing the house, getting things done, and taking care of the kids.

When all of that piles up, it can create a constant cycle of overwhelm and burnout..

Of course I have a regular timer too! But when Iā€™m really overwhelmed and my brain just isnā€™t responding, even a regular timer can feel like too many steps.

I have to grab the timer, choose the amount of time, press play or turn the dial, and then make sure itā€™s set to the exact time I want. And honestly, that alone can push me into burnout!!!!!!!

Thatā€™s exactly why the hourglass works so well for me. Itā€™s ONE action. No friction with my brain. My brain isnā€™t fighting me, and I can actually get myself to do that one thing.

The problem starts when I need to do more than

Iā€™ll explain what happened!!!!! I spent about two hours trying to match all the colorful ones, took me forever, got annoyed, and just gave up and switched to the whites. And even with those, there are so many details, so it took me time to match each pair together! Adhd mom

Some people can see something unfair, get annoyed for a second, and move on. For some people with ADHD, it doesnā€™t quite work that way. Something unfair can trigger us much more intensely even when it has absolutely nothing to do with us.. Iā€™m not a doctor or a therapist, and the content here is not intended to diagnose you! Iā€™m simply sharing the knowledge Iā€™ve gained throughout my life, because Iā€™ve known I have ADHD for 20 years..

To be clear: having ADHD doesnā€™t automatically mean you have a better sense of justice. But many people with ADHD describe being highly sensitive to situations that feel unfair, especially when those situations trigger a strong emotional reaction..

The problem isnā€™t just noticing it. Sometimes, once our brain has labeled something as ā€œunfair,ā€ it becomes really hard to shut off the reaction and move on. We can keep thinking about what happened long after everyone else has moved on..

One thing that may help explain this is the difficulty with emotional regulation that many people with ADHD experience. Emotions can come on quickly and intensely, so a situation involving unfairness doesnā€™t always stay the same size as the actual event..it can feel much bigger

Imagine someone cuts in front of 20 people in line. Most people might think, ā€œWhat a jerk,ā€ and move on. But if it triggers your ADHD, you might find yourself completely stuck onšŸ˜­

But that intensity doesnā€™t have to work against you. When you learn how to direct it instead of letting it consume you, that same sensitivity can help you advocate for yourself and others, speak up, and actually do something about the things you care about.

So if youā€™ve ever been told that you care too much, overreact, or should just ā€œlet it go,ā€ thereā€™s a good chance youā€™re not the only one šŸ«¶šŸ» follow to know yourself better šŸ˜Ž
