International Women’s Day and Daylight Savings Time landing on the same weekend raises an interesting question for ADHD women: what happens when the world recognizes women’s contributions on the same day we quietly lose an hour of time? In this bonus episode of Angry on the Inside, Jess and Jeannine talk about the strange overlap between International Women’s Day, Daylight Savings Time, and the lived experience of ADHD women. What starts as a humorous observation quickly opens into a deeper conversation about mental load, invisible labor, time blindness, and circadian rhythms. For many ADHD women, time has always felt a little different. Executive function already requires effort, mornings can feel hostile, and many of us are trying to fit twelve hours of life into eight and then blaming ourselves for not finishing the thirteenth. Jess and Jeannine explore how ADHD brains often run on a delayed internal clock, why Daylight Savings Time can feel especially disruptive, and how late-diagnosed ADHD women often spend years believing they’re “behind” when in reality they were building invisible systems. International Women’s Day is about recognizing contributions. This conversation is part of that recognition for the ADHD women managing the mental load, navigating nonlinear time, and holding together the invisible systems that keep life moving. If this resonates, then this episode is for you.
