In complete honesty today I’ve been really struggling with rejection sensitive dysphoria. I struggle with rejection sensitivity on off anyway but some days are better than others. Being so active on social media has been healing and triggering all at once. I won’t ever give into that but some days I feel my worth only depends on the amounts of views, likes or comments I get and when they’re lower than usual I feel like I failed. Like I’m no longer good. I tend to struggle with feeling good enough anyway so yes that’s me putting myself out there. Please don’t take this as me complaining. I’ve chosen this and I’d chose it times and times again because I KNOW what I do matters and helps. But that sinking feeling, that pit in my stomach feeling I get is also real. If anyone has got any tips please let me know!

Can you relate or is it just me?

I used to be told more times than I could count that these are just ‘normal mum things’ and it’s just me being a busy mum and overwhelmed without knowing that this has been me my entire life and now also as a mum and it having twice as much impact on me as before. Maybe even 10x more. Learning it wasn’t just me and giving myself the self compassion I deserve have been invaluable in finding strategies that work and also in being able to forgive myself when I inevitably make mistakes and when strategies don’t work. After all they’re just that and not a magical solution to fix all struggles 🧡

If ADHD was really a superpower, it wouldn’t hurt this much to live with it.

Yes - there are moments ADHD can be great.
The hyperfocus (if it’s on the right thing). The creativity. The way our brains connect dots others don’t even see.
The empathy that runs so deep it almost hurts.

But what people don’t see is how heavy it can feel to carry that same brain every day.
The mental noise that never switches off.
The constant guilt of being “too much” and “not enough” at the same time.
The exhaustion that comes from masking, from trying to keep up, from endlessly explaining yourself.

ADHD isn’t a superpower or a flaw.
It’s a different neurotype - one that thrives when it’s understood, supported, and met with compassion instead of comparison.

You’re not broken.
You’re just wired for a world that wasn’t built with your brain in mind. 🧡 you’re not alone!

That adhd experience where you dread hair washing despite wanting to wash your hair but for some reason it feels like this impossibly huge task that will cost you all day to overcome so you keep postponing it and feel so accomplished when you actually did just wash your hair but at the same time have little issue tackling actual complex tasks in life

Anyone else? 😅🙈
I had been refraining from posting vulnerable content like this for a little bit because I got so conscious of all the people that I know in real life who are now following me and where some of them are new friends, some are old friends, some are family, some are just acquaintances and some I have yet to get to know better. But I realised that it’s important to show ALL facets because I know we too often only see polished content that makes us inevitably feel like a failure. Life has so many sides and life with ADHD even more. I want you to know you are NOT alone if you’re struggling with household chores and clutter too. It’s a very real part of adhd that goes hand in hand with executive dysfunction (which is what you’ll have when you have adhd). Shame and guilt won’t help. But feeling more compassionate with yourself will.
Lots of love and many hugs to you 🧡

You know you’re neurodivergent when your favourite mind calming activity is trying to sort through hair clips and hair ties and matching them up with your daughter who suggested this activity lol
This followed after sorting her aqua beads and books in size order.
