ADHD isn’t just about distraction. For many, especiallywomen diagnosed late - it’s about rejection sensitivity, hidden addictions, andburnout that feels like failure.
In this episode, I break down what ADHD reallylooks like day-to-day, why RSD (Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria) drives people-pleasing and perfectionism, and how coping mechanisms like bulimia, alcohol, smoking, and overworking quietly take root.
I share why I trained in ADHD - because the overlap is undeniable. These ‘socially acceptable addictions’are survival strategies, but they also fuel anxiety, depression, andexhaustion. If you’ve ever felt lazy, too sensitive, or not enough - this isthe truth you’ve been waiting for.
