the ✨REALITY✨ of adhd ➡️ especially in women!

ADHD is so much more than the classic picture of inattention and hyperactivity we’ve been shown. most people think symptoms of ADHD are generally limited to:

- being more distracted

- hard to focus

- can’t pay attention

- overstimulated

when in reality, symptoms also look like this:

✅ house filled with incomplete tasks

✅ harmful self soothing

✅ missed appointments

✅ losing important items

✅ destructive side quests (large hyper focus projects gone wrong)

✅ overstimulated meltdowns

✅ forgetting what you were doing and burning meals

✅ overspending

✅ doom piles/doom rooms

✅ hyper fixation hobbies (spending hundreds on supplies we lose interest in)

✅ burnout

it’s impossible to move past roadblocks (like adhd) that we don’t see - so recognizing these behaviors for what they are is the first step!
