I Masked So Much I Don’t Know Who I Am Anymore (AuDHD)

What happens when you’ve been masking for so long… you don’t know who you are underneath it anymore?In this episode, I talk about masking in AuDHD and ADHD — how it starts, why we do it, and what it can feel like when your “real self” gets lost in the process.We explore:– autistic masking and ADHD masking– people-pleasing, adapting, and blending in– losing your sense of identity– burnout and emotional exhaustion from masking– the fear of being seen as your authentic self– gently reconnecting with who you actually areIf you’ve ever felt like you’re performing, shape-shifting, or don’t quite know what’s you vs what’s learned — this episode is for you.You’re not fake.You adapted to survive.
