What to Do When You Feel Like ADHD Has Ruined My Life
I hear you. It feels like you are running a race with your shoes tied together. You are tired of being 'behind' everyone else. It is okay to feel exhausted by a world that was not built for your brain.
What is it?
This feeling is often known as the ADHD Shame Cycle. It happens when your internal effort does not match your external results. It is the result of years of masking your struggles to fit in.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
This is the 'Science Bit.' Your Prefrontal Cortex manages goals and time. In an ADHD brain, this area gets less dopamine. This makes it very hard to start or finish tasks. When you can't start, your Amygdala takes over. This is the brain's alarm system. It puts you in a 'freeze' state, which feels like life is falling apart.
