ADHD Why Am I So Tired? The Truth Behind Brain Fatigue
You are not lazy. You are actually working much harder than the people around you just to keep up. That heavy feeling in your body is real. Your brain is running a very demanding operating system that drains your battery fast.
What is it?
This is often called ADHD Burnout or mental fatigue. It happens because your brain stays in a state of high alert. You are constantly processing every sound, thought, and feeling at once. This creates a massive energy drain on your system.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your brain has a unique way of handling dopamine. This chemical is like fuel for your focus. In an ADHD brain, the prefrontal cortex has to work extra hard to filter out distractions. It is like running twenty apps on a phone at the same time. This constant effort uses up your glucose and energy reserves much faster than other people.
