Recovery From A Mini Heartbreak - ADHD Style!

Episode Show Notes In this episode of Girl, I Don’t Know, I’m taking you through my mini heartbreak—and how I’m getting over it, ADHD style. Sometimes heartbreak isn’t completely about the person. Sometimes it’s about realizing you’ve found yourself in a familiar cycle again. It’s about looking back at the intuition, signs, and signals you noticed along the way but chose to overlook…and finally having to sit with what those choices taught you. I also talk about how ADHD can make heartbreak feel especially consuming. Between sensitivity to rejection and criticism, emotional intensity, and hyperfixation, it can be easy to spend way too much time trying to understand, repair, or solve a situation that requires another person’s participation. And eventually, you have to recognize: you cannot resolve something by yourself when the other person isn’t willing to resolve it with you. So what do I do instead? I redirect all that energy back into me. New projects. New hobbies. New goals. Creativity. Movement. Things that remind me that my life is much bigger than one emotional situation—and I’m already starting to feel better. Tune in as I share my personal heartbreak regimen, how I interrupt the hyperfixation cycle, and what I’m doing to get myself excited about my own life again.
