The intense productive sprint.
The crash afterward.
The guilt during the recovery.
Repeat.
Many ADHD adults think this cycle is who they are.
But it’s what happens when a nervous system survives primarily on urgency and depletion.
Your brain was never designed to sustain itself through adrenaline forever.
And eventually, the system collapses under the weight of constant compensation.
This is not inconsistency.
It’s exhaustion without infrastructure.
Your body is not failing you. It’s asking for support.
