How ADHD Burnout Really Happens

This video is about why ADHD burnout never actually happens overnight, even though it feels that way when you're in it. You'll see how chronic compensation — masking, overriding your natural rhythms, and pushing through on willpower — quietly drains your reserves over months or years. There's a personal story in here too, including the moment a two-minute email became impossible because the bill on all that pushing through had finally come due. And by the end, you'll know the quieter early warning signs — rising rigidity, shrinking tolerance, needing more effort for the same tasks — so you can catch depletion before it forces a collapse.
