The pressure to prove oneself due to negative stereotypes about ADHD leads to burnout as individuals strive to meet societal expectations. Individuals with ADHD may struggle with productivity and experience shame and frustration when they are unable to meet their own expectations. The need to manage oneself and deadlines in freelance work can lead to feeling overwhelmed and experiencing meltdowns due to difficulty in focusing on important tasks.
