If you’ve ever wondered why overwhelm hits so hard with ADHD… Here’s a real look inside what many of my clients experience:
“How do I start? Where do I start?”
“If I don’t get through this, it’ll pile up and wait for me.”
“Why can’t I take even a small step?”
“Will I run out of time?”
“Will I fail?”
This isn’t laziness. This is ADHD overwhelm, or should we say, an internal storm of thoughts, sensations, and fears that make simple tasks feel impossible.
For many, overwhelm feels like:
• A brain that can’t organize thoughts
• Emotions that spike into frustration, shame, or anxiety
• A body that freezes, paces, or seeks escape
• A to-do list that lives in your head instead of on paper
• The sense that you should be able to push through… but can’t
This month, we’re walking into December with compassion, not pressure.
Support, not hustle.
Tools that match your brain, not shame that punishes it.
If this post feels like it’s describing your inner world…
You’re not alone, and you’re not broken.
You’re simply an ADHD brain trying to carry groceries without a cart.
Let’s make December the month you finally get the cart. 💛
