Adult ADHD and Burnout-When we can't just walk away

from Overcoming Distractions-Thriving with ADHD, ADD

Burnout when you have adult ADHD is complex. It's not as simple as social media makes it look. Sure, sometimes people walk away from a stressful job or career. But let's be honest….that's not always possible. You've probably heard the phrase, "People don't leave jobs, they leave people." Well, that's not always true. People do leave jobs. But what happens when you can't leave? What if you're running a business you own? Or working a job you depend on financially? Or caring for a loved one, a responsibility that's not optional or short-term? These are situations you can't just walk away from. You have to find a way to make it work. One of the biggest drivers of burnout is the feeling that your situation isn't going to change anytime soon. So in today's episode, we're talking about realistic, practical strategies for navigating burnout when you're stuck in a situation that's not easily changed. If you take away just one thing from today's episode, let it be this: You have to become a problem solver. Because when your circumstances can't change, your approach has to. **Do you want to work with Dave one-on-one? Go to www.overcomingdistractions.com and book an introductory Zoom chat.
