ADHD Burnout: What It Is, Why It Happens, and How to Recover
ADHD burnout isn’t laziness or failure — it’s what happens when a nervous system that already works harder is pushed to keep up for too long.
In this meetup, we’ll explore:

  • What ADHD burnout actually looks like (it’s not always collapse — often it starts as over-functioning)
  • Why ADHD brains burn out faster (executive function load, masking, people-pleasing, and chronic self-regulation)
  • The common stages of ADHD burnout, including loss of motivation, shutdown, and avoidance of self-care
  • How burnout differs from depression — and why that distinction matters
  • What actually helps with recovery (hint: it’s not more discipline or better planners)

This will be an educational, compassionate conversation designed to help you:

  • Make sense of what you’re experiencing
  • Reduce shame and self-blame
  • Walk away with a clearer framework and gentler next steps

You don’t need a diagnosis to attend. If you feel exhausted by trying to function in a world that expects constant consistency, this space is for you.
