Understanding Overwhelm and Chaos

Many individuals with ADHD struggle to balance various aspects of their lives, such as career, family, and personal well-being, often feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life. This struggle can stem from an interest-driven brain that craves novelty, leading to a tendency to chase multiple pursuits at once. The key insight is that true management of chaos comes from addressing the root cause, which is the individual's own response to tasks and responsibilities. Accepting responsibility for personal choices is essential, as it empowers individuals to take control of their lives instead of feeling like victims of their circumstances.
