ADHD Burnout Cycle | This Was The Last Time For Me

The ADHD burnout cycle starts with taking on more than we can handle, then trying to maintain a ridiculously unmanageable load, only to fail, burnout and then cycle, rinse, repeat.
In this personal video, I share the LAST time I went through an ADHD burnout cycle and how I've managed to create boundaries, self-care routines and realistic expectations for myself.
There's no quick fix to this issue, but there are ways to look at how you're contributing to your own demise and take steps to create a more structured, enjoyable life that aligns with your brain, your energy and your strengths.
I hope you enjoy it.

I remeber when i was a like 6 i wanted to growup to be everything! lol. I wanted to work in a grocery store, work as a fire fighter, literally everything.

[@thetruthbehindthesmile1817]

Omg same! I had a full list of like 30 jobs, including McDonald's so I could eat free obviously lol, and my parents insisted I couldn't do them all at once so I obviously refused to accept that and made a whole schedule for how I would do each job 1 day a month 😆

[@soirema]

same xddd

[@cherylkenyon2408]

I'm 53 and am going through the exact thing. I've been doing the same career for over 30 years and an working 6 days a week every week. And don't like what I do for a living anymore and am trying to get out of it by starting a side hustle

[@CarenMagill]

Wow, kudos for staying in the same career for 30 years. You've got staying power!

[@shahedqureshi1836]

53 year old male, stumbled across your video. I can relate to everything you have said and I am shocked overwhelmed even excited because now I know why I did and do the things I do. Much love and much work to do now with relief and compassion towards my self - thank you 😊

[@krystlepeterson2904]

I have adhd and I think I’m experiencing burnout I have no desire to do anything and I’m at the point I take so much time off at my job idk how much longer they’re gonna keep me around. I hit a wall mid day and just can’t continue…. Is there any specific videos of yours you’d recommend watching first? Any other resources you may have would be so so appreciated… I’m at a point where idk what to do where to start or how to make my life better for me. Just totally overwhelmed. Crying and laughing about the fact that I’m crying while I type this. I’m just a damn mess 😭😂 I’ve watched a few of your videos. And I love your point if view ❤️

[@CarenMagill]

Hey Krystle, what's happening mid day when you "hit a wall"? Is it energy? Focus? Emotional dysregulation? I'd love to know more about that. If it's energy, it could be related to your sleep, or what you're eating (this is very likely if it happens at the same time every day). Or, it might be that your brain gets tired. Are you on meds? Are they running out at that time? So many things to consider here. Start getting curious without judgement.

[@geemail369]

You already admitting that there's a problem _(BIG and important step btw!)_ will take you into the right direction. Next you'll need to investigate wich factors in your life are feeding it! So you are on the right track - open up to people, get (maybe professional) help, then map your current life and where you wanna go from here. 🌬️⛵✨

[@dianacrisp5944]

Or, if you've got a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system i.e. ME / CFS this could explain why your battery goes flat quickly. It's good to get curious and find patterns. And seek support, I hope you have someone in real time that you can discuss your situation with and bounce ideas around. Wishing you all the best. ❤❤❤

[@Diaannaa25]

I recently found your channel yesterday! Listening to some of your videos coordinates with my symptom of ADHD. The explanation and scenarios are the constant struggles I go through every month. Thank you for being you!

[@CarenMagill]

Thank you SO much for the kind words!!! I really appreciate it

[@Jdid18]

This is describing how I feel exactly. Clients come in and I can’t even respond to my emails 🙇🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

[@emmaberger3748]

Oof yeah the being never enough / constant self improvement journey is VERY relatable but also something I struggle with because I cannot for the life of me Form a Habit

[@hillzbrry]

This resonated so much with me, thank you!

[@Psych2go]

I love this amazing set up and your voice is very soothing! Hope you do more videos like this one and more vacation vlogs :)

[@geemail369]

It's nice to see you guys commenting on other good channels out there too! 👌🏻🌱

[@gammayin3245]

Minimalism and Dave Ramsey budgeting saves me!! Thanks!

[@chrissyhott]

I have never resonated so much with a video. Thank you!

[@CarenMagill]

So glad it was helpful!

[@nitaigauranga3391]

Great videos. Watched the two on ADHD burnout. Highly relatable and very helpfull. Thanks 😊

[@CarenMagill]

You are so welcome!!!

[@goat1401]

Tbh this is one of the most validating and enlightening video I have seen so far. I have to watch it several times to let it sink in. Thank you so much 🙏🏾

[@CarenMagill]

Wow, thank you!

[@josefolsson5343]

The same thing happened to me around 2012. And then again a couple of times all over again. Then I got diagnosed with ADHD and finally started to connect the dots. Been focusing on the minimalist path, and it does actually help me improve my understanding of who I am and to start listening to my "inner voice" before taking actions. The way you describe the hole "Wait a minute! So THIS is what's happening to me?" situation is something I'm sure anyone who's been hitting the wall can relate to. Just as anyone doing it as a consequence of undiagnosed ADHD can confirm the difficulty in realizing what's about to happen before it actually happens. Even when it happens again, and again.. Will definitely check out your channel for more tips on how to cope with the struggles of life that the society of today is posing to anyone with ADHD-functionality. Thanks for being a source of inspiration to the rest of us!

[@ehleofficial]

Thank you for making this video! This helps me so much ❤️

[@10000Mistakes]

You, before figuring this out, sounds exactly like me now. 52 yr old male here. Ironically just yesterday I put on a index card the two things I am going to work on in an effort to actually move a needle that's been really active but pointing no where.

[@CP-rc9sw]

If life isn't hard sometimes, there would be no problems to solve. Booooring!

[@AV-fp9yu]

Wow. Ty for the video. It makes sense and I never thought about burn out

[@kashifrana6798]

God bless you! How can I take some coaching classes. I am in constant cycle of joining and quitting jobs because of changing interests in different areas of IT :(

[@jend9678]

Brilliant, thank you

[@Uncle_Tom]

Thanks for sharing

[@CarenMagill]

My pleasure

[@nigeldupaigel]

Thank you so much for sharing!

[@Coconutluxenaturals]

I loved this video it really resonates with how I feel right now. Any tips on how ro grow the side hustle whilst trapped in your 9-5. .. by 5.30, im so exhausted to even make videos 😢

[@CarenMagill]

It's hard to be creative when you're exhausted. Outside of work, when is your energy at it's best? Why do you want to create videos? It comes down to energy management and having a strong why for following through. Good luck!

[@quatrevingthaha]

very insightful. keep up the good work

[@CarenMagill]

Thanks, will do!

[@joannelumb4982]

Thank you for your videos they have helped massively. Do you have any videos or podcasts on relationships( with partner, friends, kids, family)

[@caraloy6529]

You just described me to a T. I’m glad I found this channel!

[@mdjasr1]

Thanks for sharing Please continue with this great job. Regards from Mexico

[@samuelmcgovern]

Do you believe there are any distinguishing factors for 'ADHD burnout'? Or is it the same as regular burnout?

[@_luckicharms]

Looking this up 45 minutes before I'm expected to start work 😅

[@bw5187]

I just finished my 10th job in 8 and 1/2 years. Now undergoing serious psychological testing because something is wrong.

[@UnstoppableVi]

Thank you

[@hermanhemlig]

Are you still free from burnout? Do you do coaching?

[@CarenMagill]

Yes, and not right now.

[@hermanhemlig]

Very inspiring, I will keep up with this account from the other side of the Atlantic (Sweden)

[@estherloske1396]

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@esquireeye_glasses]

please keep camera closer to your face

[@romysv]

I've been struggling on and off for a while now, I never recooup and I feel so faulty for being the way I am. I work corporate and I don't know how to handle it sometimes. I need the money but also need to change the way I see myself and cope, living with ADHD is so hard :(
