I don’t know about you, but I’ve got an internal monologue going on in my head. I think we all do.  And we all get those negative intrusive thoughts, or stories, that aren’t in our control; but there is something distinctively different in neurodivergent brains.  Our Default Mode System, which is the system in the brain that is in charge of wakeful rest mode, has a very negative voice in the brains of many people with ADHD. It is the voice that tells us we suck, are too much but not enough, and can’t do it. It is very convincing and exhausting because it makes rest time a time for rumination. It is something, that for us with spicy brains, is a saboteur of our self-confidence. The bad news is that it is a cult leader convincing. The good news is that, once you are aware, you can change it. Did I mention that I have ADHD? Well, I do.
