Many adults with ADHD grow up feeling like they are somehow “too much” and “not enough” at the same time.
Too emotional.
Too distracted.
Too intense.
Too overwhelmed.
Yet constantly carrying the painful feeling that they should be doing better than they are.
Not because they lack intelligence or potential
but because they have spent years trying to navigate life with a nervous system they did not yet understand.
