Oh, I can do a little bit of work.
Then I can have a coffee.
Then I can do a little bit of work.
Then I can go take my lunch break.
And that's going to provide a lot more of a regulated and sustainable life.
The symptoms are because of the ADHD brain.
They are not because we are in fight or flight.
When we're different, and the ADHD brain is just a different type of brain, you're a neurodivergent person living in a neurotypical world.
You're just going to have a lot of these little pokes of, oh, I did that wrong.
I was late for that.
I forgot that thing.
And that will put our nervous system on the defense.
And then when we are on that defense, we start to get these symptoms of fight, flight, freeze, fawn, the paralysis, the frantic energy, the avoidance.
And because many of us have been in that state since childhood, we just think, oh, that's just my ADHD.
And then we've kind of put those together.
The difference of the ADHD brain being in fight or flight, and now we've called this ADHD.
And so we believe that's just how it is.
All I can do is cope.
But I haven't, I've seen that not to be the case.
We can absolutely separate the two, get the fight or flight at least lowered, and the ADHD symptoms will go way down.
