ADHD and Love
The ADHD Stories We Tell Ourselves
ADHD has given me a lifetime of great stories.
Unfortunately, many of them were happening entirely inside my head.
In this four-part series, I explore impulsive romance, obsessive overthinking, hero complexes, unfinished dreams, self-sabotage, and the strange ways ADHD and OCD shape our relationships—with others and with ourselves.
Expect laughs.
Expect uncomfortable truths.
Expect at least one moment where you point at the screen and say: "Wait... I do that too."
Messy relationships isn’t an exclusive club. They are experiences all of us romantics find ourselves in at some point.
Start with The ADHD Love Paradox and follow the journey from relationships to identity to growth.
