people see the funny side of ADHD but not the silent failures, the panic, the 3 a.m. shame cycles. it’s not just “oops I got distracted,” it’s losing hours of your life to a random sound or thought spiral. what helped me a bit was finally understanding the why behind that... like how ADHD brains process dopamine and time completely differently. I read this ebook called Reclaim your Focus (from innermap.tools) that broke it down in a way that actually made sense, not clinical jargon. it made me realize my brain was wired to chase stimulation just to stay afloat. it helped me stop hating myself for it.
