You love your friends. You think about them often. You compose long, heartfelt messages in your head — and then never send them.
The same executive function challenges that make work difficult also affect your social connections. You forget to reply. You cancel plans. You go quiet for months.
Here's the truth: you're not a bad friend. You're an ADHD friend. And there is a difference.
Be honest with the people you love about how your brain works. Set calendar reminders to check in. And when you do reach out after months of quiet? Most true friends won't judge you. They'll just be glad to hear from you.
If this resonated with you…
This is the work I do in 1:1 coaching — moving you from self-blame to self-understanding, and from treading water to finally living YourADHD.Life.
The Your SHINE Journey programme is 6 months of deep, personalised coaching for late-diagnosed women who are ready to stop managing and start living. No scripts, no one-size-fits-all. Just real work, built around your brain.
