Ever tried to send one email and ended up deep into jellyfish documentaries and reorganizing your sock drawer? Same.

This episode of Brain vs Me dives into what it’s really like living with ADHD—the full-body panic, the productivity spirals, the emotional whiplash, and the weird superpower of hyperfocus that never shows up when you actually need it. We’re not here to talk about the “quirky” version of ADHD. We’re talking executive dysfunction, shame spirals, and that moment you start doubting your entire worth because you forgot to reply to a text.

If you’ve ever felt broken by your own brain—or just need someone to say “you’re not lazy, you’re just fried”—this one’s for you.
