The ADHD Burnout Cycle (And Why It Feels Like Depression)

In this episode we are talking about ADHD burnout — something that so many people with ADHD experience but often don’t realise is happening. For years we both thought we were just lazy or bad at coping with work, when actually we were experiencing ADHD burnout from masking, overcompensating and pushing ourselves too hard. We talk about: • the ADHD burnout cycle • why women are often diagnosed late • what burnout actually feels like • the symptoms to look out for • and how to recover when your brain feels completely shut down. We also share some of our own experiences with burnout and how it eventually led to our ADHD diagnoses. If you've ever wondered why you can go from feeling super productive to completely exhausted and overwhelmed, this episode is for you.
