ADHD grief describes the sorrow associated with unmet expectations and goals due to executive dysfunction. This grief emerges through feelings of shame, regret, and the realization that one's life does not align with past aspirations. Individuals often reflect on past decisions and missed opportunities, leading to internal comparisons and feelings of inadequacy. Healing involves acceptance and strategies for working with ADHD traits, rather than against them, allowing for personal growth and understanding.
ADHD grief shows up gradually and subtly. It manifests through comparisons with others, feelings of shame about unfinished goals, and reflections on missed opportunities.
Healing begins with acceptance and learning how to work with your ADHD brain, acknowledging the differences in functioning and how to navigate them.
