@moveswithmaci: if only adhd was just a ‘trend’ People are so quick to dismiss us with adhd, because it’s so misunderstood. ADHD can have its loud, funny and hyper moments but the constant mental exhaustion that comes with it… if it was just a trend it’s one I wouldn’t still be following ❤️‍🩹 We don’t choose the emotional burden of rejection sensitivity Or the laying in bed unable to sleep due to our thoughts Or never feeling like you ‘fit in’ because all you’ve ever done is mask… ADHD affects real people, in real ways, EVERY day but that’s a conversation a lot of people don’t want to have. If this post resonates with you, you aren’t alone. There are a whole group of people who feel just like you do everyday and we’re all just showing up and trying to figure it out too🤍 #adhd #adhdwomen #adhdproblems #adhdlife

Kirstyn Miller :

I actually can’t relax or I get deep depression ☠️

Rach :

I literally said “I have such big dreams but no energy or focus to achieve them”. Hopefully get a diagnosis tomorrow 🤞🏼

🪼 :

ADHD is an adaptation to a stressful or traumatic environment during early childhood that alters brain development, rather than a condition determined solely by genetics. When the brain is in a state of panic or chronic stress, its primary goal is survival: it may become distracted, dissociate, or shift its attention away from what it perceives as threatening. From this perspective, a brain does not become chronically distracted without an underlying cause. These mechanisms are adaptive responses to stress, not signs of a brain that simply “chooses” not to pay attention.

ILA :

That constant masking and never fitting in was exhausting me 🥲 and I didn't realize how much food affected my mental state honestly daily. The work of Loren Green in Eat Like a Woman Protocol showed me that brain health starts with what I eat now properly. Dropped 22lbs and I finally feel more like myself without the constant exhaustion truly honestly. My top on the list and everyone needs this fr))

Marcela <3 :

And 3 in 5 women with ADHD also have PMDD! Im one of the 3 women with adhd and pmdd

Gele M&M :

I’m have a vacation from my job and the only thing I do is being sad. ADHD is making me so tired

beth𓃱 :

The crash from that hyper part is exhausting. Takes 2 business days for me to recover 🥺

kadyn childers :

having add is rlly hard and even harder dealing w the side affects of the medication it’s never just peaceful it’s always a high or a low or both

Ali :

I went undiagnosed for 21 years and still in the beginning of the process trying to find a solution. But man was is so hard to explain how I would feel and getting told I was lazy or didn’t try hard enough for things like in school

Olivia Peterson :

As someone with both ADHD and autism, I feel you and I’m sending so much love your way 🫂❤️‍🩹

Aline :

I've never been diagnosed but I have literally every single thing you listed

Arwen 🌱 :

fionabrowne_ :

rionaclairelife :

ADHD is so much more complex than people realise 😞

vryla 🇪🇸🧭 :

I can’t live without feeling the anxiety of thinking I’m always forgetting about something or doing something wrong.

Mitzi :

the thing this weekend is... i am free from work. friday til monday. sooooo many options! go away with my camper, birthday party. al lot of fun things with friends, a traditional game/sport thing in the town, do some things in and around the house. i end up doing nothing because there a lot of options to choose. this part is what i hate the most

mimitje28 :

lowri davies :

This is so relatable, been diagnosed since I was 8 but honestly even tho 22 it still can be so exhausting but having the right people around you helps so much ❤️❤️

Maz.Daz :

wow… I went undiagnosed for 29 years and it CHANGED my life.

Fiona-theF1shoity :

Kinda hate when I try and explain why I can’t talk about something that bothered me because my head started the indie 500 at Mach Jesus and I can’t remember what initially started it but now it’s just running and I can’t stop it

joshuahoeben :

my adhd is killing me right now but i'm okay
