Dear December: ADHD adults would like a word

Published 4 days ago • 1 min read

The Weekly Level Up

Let's level up our ADHD lives a little, shall we?

You know that moment when you're staring at your overflowing inbox, the calendar of 10 different themed outfits your third grader needs this month, a tangled mess of Christmas lights that you swear you put away neatly last year, and your 23rd holiday party invitation .... and your brain says, "Not just no, but hell no"?

​

Same.

​

December has a way of taking all our ADHD challenges and throwing tinsel, social obligations, sugar and guilt on top of them.

​

More decisions. More events. More pressure to be "on." And for many of us? Zero extra dopamine to fuel any of it.

​

In this week's episode of ADHD Adult(ish), we're talking about:

​

  • Why December hits ADHD brains like a freight train
  • The 3 boundary traps we keep falling into (the automatic yes, anyone?)
  • How to protect your time and energy
  • Why "good enough" is absolutely good enough this season

​

Here's the bottom line: You're allowed to have limitations. You're allowed to protect your capacity. And you're allowed to do December in a way that doesn't break you.

The Weekly Level Up Let's level up our ADHD lives a little, shall we? If you have ADHD — or you’re raising a tiny ADHD human — you already know that multi-step instructions are the enemy. You tell your kid, “Go brush your teeth, put on your shoes, and grab your backpack.” And what happens? They run off to do the thing. Their brain only processes step one. Five minutes later, they’re standing in the kitchen holding their toothbrush, looking confused. Been there. So, here’s what I've been doing...

The Weekly Level Up Let's level up our ADHD lives a little, shall we? Here's something I wish someone had told me years ago: Joy is not something you have to earn. Not with productivity. Not with a clean house. Not with a cleared inbox or a perfectly executed morning routine. But when you live with ADHD, it can feel like joy needs to be deserved. Like you haven’t done “enough” to earn the right to relax. Like fun, rest, or even a snack you enjoy has to be withheld until you’ve suffered your...
