  • Feeling exhausted? Got ADHD? In this video I explore why ADHDers tend to run into burnout and exhaustion a lot more often then neurotypicals and what we can do about it. I share a snippet of my own experience with the onset of burnout and what I'm doing to intervene!
    If you're feeling tired, burnout or just not yourself, I hope this video gives you some food for thought.
    Story Excerpt on Exhaustion is from David Whyte's, Crossing the Unknown Sea. The excerpt has been edited for brevity.

    Diagnosed at 46. Corporate job changed to remote after Covid, got stuck in FL, all belongings still in storage up north. Living solo, my 2 pups passed backed to back, and so much more.. become completely paralyzed, physically unable to work complete tasks, walked away.
    Year later today, I found my pond. I’m in motion of creating a clay earring business and look forward everyday to create beautiful jewelry and attend vendor markets.
    Thank you for today’s and all your content. It has really helped me understand me and why and how to own it and best navigate my life despite the hard criticism I’ve recently received.

    Great video! The story you read brought tears to my eyes, it resonated so much. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 38 and it suddenly explained why I had been struggling my whole life just to function, and why I kept falling into burnout cycles. I would see so many of my friends who could just power through hard tasks or crappy jobs and I couldn't figure out why I wasn't able do the same. My body would literally rebel and I would either become sick or get steamrolled by crippling fatigue. I think my biggest challenge now is to feel ok about being as picky and as particular as I need to be to make sure I'm creating that very specific environment that I require in order to thrive. Often I feel like I'm excessively inconveniencing others or risking being labeled as "too needy" when I have to self advocate. This feels very scary, especially in the context of my profession and professional relationships where my livelihood could be at risk if people decide I'm too much of a hassle to work with. Working through that fear is definitely a journey. Anyway, thanks again for this video, it was my "ping" from the universe today (I'm also a woo and a half. 😉😄). Have a great New Year!

      I was diagnosed at 50 and as I learned more about ADHD I had quite a few ah ha moments, five years later I still do. I changed my profession because the one I was in was not sustainable for me. I am lucky that I have landed in a field where I am able to help others with disabilities/differences and where I am also supported. I have had to learn to say no to people and be protective of the rest I need in order to maintain good health. If you share with people why you are making requests and they learn it is to keep your health in check, I think people will be understanding and will do what they can to meet you at least half way. Stay well.

You just made my whole day, and I need to find that person you were following, to normalize wearing a wig.

    Coming to this one late and it hits hard. I KNOW what my pond is & if I didn't have bills to pay I would play in it all day - but it's nearly impossible to make a career so I always feel divided between what pays the bills & what I really want to be doing. And what pays the bills (freelance writing) is as close to what I want to be doing (novel writing) as I can get until a miracle happens - because in publishing you pretty much need a miracle to be successful.
    I've felt this way for the last three years & it has me dancing in and out of burnout & short of winning the lottery so I can just focus on my books, it feels like nothing will ever get me the rest of the way into my passion.

    Great story to share. There’s a relief to back out of the sense of hyper-responsibility (sometimes my over-thinking self puts me in a false power spot), then I make sure I don’t descend into an equally unbalanced sense of shame or depression (also overthinking?)--bottom line--recover my sense of gratitude and devotion. Not just once a day, but kinda constantly! It’s hard!

    I really needed to hear what you had to say in this video. I'm currently in that burnout phase and have lost all ability to appear/function as a neurotypical person. It's like I've been reverted back to when I was a child, just before my diagnosis and functioning at all is exponentially harder and requires vastly more energy.
    I'm floundering while trying to manage this full-blown ADHD and I know it. I currently feel like a pilot dropped into a machine that they've barely been taught how to use, yet is expected to operate said machine to the same degree as someone well-trained & fully experienced in operating it; all the pilot can do is sit there staring at the controls as panic, fear and a sense of overwhelm builds as they try to figure out what to do and how to do the task. During this period of burnout it's like I'm looking through someone else's eyes because I'm in someone else's body.

It’s not something I’m excited about or can easily feel like giving my wholeheartedness to. I feel like im burning out not from overdoing it, but from not thriving. However, I also have no idea what else to do which is the biggest struggle for me. I hope I figure it out! 😊

    Hi Caren, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your work. I am going through a hugely transitional time, with some big decisions. I have been diagnosed for a few years, but never been able to access any ADHD specific help. Your videos have resonated with me so deeply and helped me so much. This one in particular brought me to tears and really helped me see my dilemma in a clear light. We do need specific environments to thrive and that’s something worth fighting for. It’s ok to own that and let the water take us rather than beating ourselves up. I have a strong connection to water and have also been seeing 11:11 a lot. I’ve also been losing hair after COVID and struggle a lot with this when trying to motivate to show up in life (something that brings me joy), so all of the examples you used here were spot on for my life. Thank you for the guidance and encouragement.

When somthing new is added to the list, something else needs to go, if that makes sense. I keep my life as simple as I can; it's not a simple thing to do for a working Mammy & it's still very much work in progress .

    I have just recently come across your videos and I wanted to thank you. Your messages are so thought provoking, meaningful and really help me to put my life and how I function into perspective. I’ve spent the majority of my life beating myself up for the way I am-often feeling I have to apologize or make up for it somehow. I know you were talking about your hair when you said you almost needed permission to use a wig to overcome the barrier holding you back from showing up fully. Obstacles definitely slow our progress forward as ADHDers. You may have been talking about a wig, but it made me think about my own barriers to doing the work I’ve been called to do and ask myself what “wig” can I put on to overcome my own barriers?
    My point really, is that the work you’re doing has been a blessing to me, so thank you for the effort and time you put into it so it’s accessible. We all need encouragement and to be seen and understood. And you have been that for me. Thank you 😊

    Great video. Thank you for sharing that story about the swan and your own story about cycling burn out in your life. I was never diagnosed with ADHD, but from first grade on the teachers always reported that I was creative but would daydream and not pay attention in class. My grandmother who raised me was an ER nurse, and her friends would say that I needed to be put on Riddlin and meds to make me less hyper. My grandmother didn't believe in using meds unless absolutely necessary, so she gave me tools to help. The night before school she would lay my clothes out to wear, so that I was not overwhelmed in the morning with choices. I would make my bed, so that I finished a task. She would have a daily planner for me and encourage me to finish homework or projects by settling a time limit on how long I would have to focus. She always encouraged fresh air and exercise. So Caren thank you for suggesting more tools that can help us be better.

    WOW Caren, you have shocked me once again. I know this is a year old, but it just came into my feed.
    The level of vulnerability, intimacy and integrity you just showed is astounding, seriously.
    I believe it takes true courage to talk the way you do, especially in this video. You're a truly inspiring person, thank you for your honesty.

    This was so useful to me! I've been promoted at my job and it is taking up extra large amounts of time for various reasons. I enjoy it but it isn't my passion. My passion has been on the back burner while I try and learn how to do my new position at work. I need to spend more time on my passion, even for 5 minutes a day, and then I know that'll help me feel less burned out.

    I love this part: Falling in awkwardly and gracefully receiving those waters!
    (I was definitely burnt out at my day job so awkward and felt out of place. But since that gig has ended I can focus on my YT channel! I also just learned I have adhd sooo it feels really awkward getting in the water but also it feels right! 😅✨

    OMG I've always thought of myself as a Mermaid 🧜‍♀️ and absolutely love the swan story ( & analogy!) Its so true - we will feel clumsy when not in our true element...finding grace in how we get back to that is a learned art for sure!
    Then to hear your beautiful - thought provoking flower metaphor.!?! Girl you are speaking my language! 🏵🌸 I am a Tulip 🌷and knowing how to live in a world of dandelions hasn't always been easy - especially with ADHD- feeling exhausted was almost becoming an everyday pattern for me...I love how you encourage amongst it all to simply be your authentic self! Be an orchid, Lily or a Tulip in a world of dandelions or even weeds! Anyway thank you! I just stumbled upon you and absolutely love you! While I'm not a follower by nature- Consider me your newest subscriber!! ❤😉🥰🫶

    omg thank you so much for being so vulnerable about your hair and how that makes it hard for you to want to record videos. i have unwieldly kinky hair, an extremely high forehead and have struggled all my life with trying to make my hair “work” or be socially acceptable. after covid i have also started losing my hair and my hairline has receded even further naking me feel
    like an elizabethian queen lol. i really hate wearing wigs because i get overheated so quickly and they itch me like crazy. glad you have found one that looks so natural and is comfortable for you!!

    This is great!
    I'm almost 38 and we have 3 (also neurospicy) kids (6,9 and 10) and I feel like I'm treading water and I'm exhausted. Your video put into words what I've been desiring but can't quite achieve. I keep telling myself I'm almost to the tipping point of finally "arriving" but I just have to keep pushing a bit longer. Well, it's been about 11 years, and I am mentally exhausted. I'm going to focus on steering towards my ideal environment and life and pushing harder than ever. I need to find my pond (no clue where or what that is going to be) but I can cut out what I know I want less of in life for now ❤

    I relate 100% to so much of your content. I've been watching your videos periodically over the last few weeks, and you have been able to translate (into words) exactly how I feel, my struggles, my ideas, etc. I'm 44-years old, divorced, no children, and a healthcare provider who ironically "treats" ADHD, yet have never been diagnosed myself. I'm 100% positive of my diagnosis, but for some reason I have allowed shame or imposter syndrome or embarrassment prevent me from seeking help from another provider. I'm working on that... not quite there, have a lot of inner work to do. Anyways.... I never comment on videos, but just had to let you know how inspiring and relatable you have been for me. And a side note... I too am recently having issues with my hair, thinning, not growing, brittle, easily damaged. The stress of aging is beginning to affect me in ways I never expected. It takes me so long to get ready, I over analyze, and sometimes I'd just rather not get ready at all. I have considered wigs as a potential "assistant" when my ugly hair has me paralyzed, but I have no clue where to buy them and what to look for. Do you have recommendations on a website or store? Or educational resources about how to choose a wig? I don't have instagram or any social media, just watch utube from time to time. Thank you so much for everything you do, you are a true blessing.

      Thank you so much for the kind words! I bought my wig and a few toppers from wigs.com and another place - can't remember the name. Search for wig reviews here on youtube! There are lots. I am LOVING wearing a wig!
      I hope you are able to get yourself diagnosed. You deserve the clarity you give your patients :)

    Thank you, Caren, this video is rather helpful, profound and interesting as it is. Self help to self regulating I find to always be an uphill battle, as is finding the exact culprits that trigger certain areas or defines more specific ADHD/ADD problem zones. To me the wholeheartedness of ones direction of life as well as spreading yourself too thin struck very deep as I have been having thoughts around this already. But your video simply nailed it! And thank you for giving so much of yourself to us out here :o) Best wishes, Felix

    This really spoke to me. I often get pressured into using talents that I have that don't work for me at all. My personality is not geared that way. I am always driven to one direction and feel guilty for it because others think I should be doing something else but it always burns me out.

    I'm in a position where I'm working full-time while also attending classes at a local community college. That stuff really wears me down, and with my day job being in retail, I've realized for a while now that my circumstances really aren't satisfying me at my core. Slowing down the process to where I can relish the small moments helps to an extent, but I'd say that my professional perspective has shifted away from what's currently in front of me. Some may say that the path towards creating a more fulfilling life for me has taken too long; why should I care about that? Why do I still get annoyed when people say that? I can't help the fact that things move slower simply because I have ADHD; I have to be able to accommodate myself in all factors of life. Thank you for sharing this powerful video! ❤

    You are definitely a beautiful orchid. Listening to this story really resonated with me. I'm in a vicious weight cycle. I'm in so much pain most days, which detours me from exercise. I need to exercise to do what I used to love, rehab dogs. I know it's small steps but and that's where procrastination comes in. I need to take the time to schedule schedule my small steps.
