episode The Self Blame Game cover

Description

Ever wake up at 4 a.m. with a gut-wrenching stomach ache... and instantly blame yourself? What did I eat wrong? Why can't I just take care of myself? In this The Diary We All Share episode, I unpack my instant "I did something wrong" reflex—fueled by ADHD's memory glitches, overwhelm, and the invisible effort of daily life. From guilt spirals over soy milk to "bad at life" rants after one tiny slip, I contrast my inner bully with how I'd treat a friend: "Don't eat that again. End of story." Discover why self-blame is a sneaky habit (not truth), and my commitment: zoom out, track wins, and join my own team.

Why ”Just” is a Four Letter Word

In this episode, of The Diary We All Share, I'm unpacking what happens when someone says, “Why don’t you just…”—and my brain immediately shuts down. If you’ve ever felt that sharp emotional drop… the overwhelm, the irritation, the instant shame spiral—you’re not alone. For ADHD brains, especially, simple suggestions land as pressure. As proof that you’re already doing it wrong. I'm talking about the invisible “tripwire” that gets triggered in these moments—why it happens, where it comes from, and how it quietly shapes your self-perception over time. This isn’t about fixing yourself or learning how to “just do it.” It’s about recognizing the loop while it’s happening. "ADHD Stories Told with Honesty and Humor" ❤️
