Angry On The Inside - ADHD Women Talking Late Diagnosis

S1 E15 When ADHD Women Go Over the Edge: The Tipping Point Explained


Listen Later

Jess & Jeannine explore the ADHD tipping point.  The moment everything you’ve been holding together finally slips, and what it really means to rebuild without shame, burnout, or masks.

When ADHD women hit the tipping point, it’s not failure, it’s the truth finally catching up.

In this episode of Angry on the Inside, Jess and Jeannine unpack why coping systems collapse, what “going over the edge” really means, and how to steady yourself when the scaffolding falls away.

From masking fatigue and burnout to the relief and grief of diagnosis, this is the real conversation about ADHD overwhelm that most people don't get to hear.

You’ll hear how life transitions, new jobs, parenthood, perimenopause, or pandemic chaos push many ADHD women to their limit, and how to recognize when that moment is coming again.

✨ What You’ll Hear:

  • Why ADHD women hit tipping points (and how to see them sooner)

  • How “structure” and “control” are often different things

  • The link between burnout, hormones, and executive dysfunction

  • Relief, grief, and what comes after diagnosis

  • Why your next tipping point is a checkpoint, not a collapse

  • Ways to communicate, prepare, and rebuild community support
