ADHD brains often gravitate to the complicated and frenzied. Emergencies spike up dopamine flow, keeping the mind engaged and at the ready. In other words, many of us absolutely thrive in moments of pressure.
But what happens when life gives us too many fires to extinguish, one after the other? It’s an answer we know all too well in these pandemic times: We shut down.
The ADHD brain is pushed to its limits when life’s demands pile on with no end in sight. Ongoing overwhelm keeps the brain on high-alert mode, quickly depleting its resources and causing mental fog. To free up mental bandwidth, we have to streamline our lives wherever possible.
