ADHD Combined – The Side People Don’t See - The Not-So-Sparkly Side of Life With ADHD!

Let’s be real for a second. ADHD Combined isn’t all hyperfocus magic and quirky creativity. Some days, it’s like living inside a blender… with glitter, to-do lists, and half-drunk cups of tea flying around.

For me, ADHD Combined means living with both inattentive and hyperactive traits — which is like trying to drive with your foot on the accelerator and the brake at the same time.

🔄 I forget important things, even when I care deeply about them.😬 I double-book myself, even with alarms and calendars.🌀 My thoughts race so fast that sometimes I forget what I was saying mid-sentence.🙃 I can hyperfocus on the wrong thing for hours and miss the one thing that actually mattered.

There’s this invisible guilt I carry. Guilt that I didn’t reply to a message. That I started a million projects and only finished three. That my brain feels tired before my day even starts.

And it’s exhausting masking it all. Especially in business.

I often feel like I have to be on all the time — the bright pink-haired lady with all the energy. But behind the scenes, there are days I’m burnt out, overwhelmed, or just trying to remember what I walked into the room for.

Sometimes I beat myself up. Wonder if I’m doing enough. Wonder if people see the mess I try so hard to manage.

But the truth is — this is part of who I am. And part of what makes me me.

I'm not writing this for sympathy. I'm writing it because I know some of you feel this too. And I want you to know you're not alone.

ADHD is complex. And sometimes… it's bloody hard.
