How to Manage Your ADHD & Sensitivity

Описание: Hi friends, it’s Caroline. If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive” or felt like your emotions hit harder than everyone else’s, this video is for you. I’m talking about what it really means to be emotionally sensitive when you have ADHD and why it’s not a flaw. It’s part of how your brain works.

In this episode, we’ll break down why emotions can feel so overwhelming and what you can do to manage them with more confidence and calm.

Here’s what we’ll cover:
✅ What rejection sensitivity is and how it shows up
✅ What emotional dysregulation looks like in daily life
✅ Why ADHD brains struggle with emotional regulation
✅ Practical tools to pause, reframe, and respond without spiraling
✅ How to stop assuming the worst when your brain fills in the blanks
✅ Coping strategies that actually work for sensitive ADHD brains

You’ll also learn about what I call “sticky brain” and how hard it can be to transition emotionally once you’re in a feeling. This is all part of how the ADHD brain processes emotions. It doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It means you need the right tools and support.

Let me know in the comments if you relate to being emotionally sensitive and what helps you manage it. You’re not alone and you’re not overreacting. You just feel deeply, and that’s something we can work with, not against.
