Ahhh ha ha ha ha 😆😆

Hey everyone. 
Does anybody else struggle with coming up with a lot of big, complex passion projects? 😅 I currently have a handful of them and quite honestly I am definitely struggling to balance working on them all and giving them the type of attention and work that they deserve without burning myself out. Does anybody else struggle with this? If anybody does have they figured out a way to balance it? I'm open to legit suggestions.

Looking for some advice about balancing multiple big projects

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) manifests differently across individuals. Key presentations include Predominantly Inattentive (trouble with organization, focus, losing things), Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive (restlessness, impulsivity, interrupting), and Combined Type. Sometimes, what looks like inattention can be hyperfocus – intense concentration on high-interest activities, making it hard to shift focus. While ADHD affects all genders, historical diagnostic patterns saw more boys identified, often due to more visible hyperactivity (National Institute of Mental Health - NIMH).
Neurologically, ADHD involves differences in key brain systems, especially those using dopamine (NIMH). This neurotransmitter is vital for regulating attention, motivation, reward, and executive functions – the brain's management system for planning and impulse control. Some research suggests that less efficient dopamine signaling might lead people with ADHD to subconsciously seek more stimulating activities to compensate (Volkow et al., 2009).
These neurological differences can lead to varied behavioral tendencies. Some individuals might constantly seek novelty or high-intensity stimulation, sometimes leading to risk-taking or procrastination. Others might turn inward, prone to daydreaming or struggling to stay focused on less engaging tasks due to internal distractibility. Many experience a mix of these traits along a spectrum, and symptom severity often relates to the degree of dopamine dysregulation.
Personally, I experience significant ADHD. For years, I saw medication just as a "fix." My perspective shifted; I now understand medication (often stimulants boosting dopamine/norepinephrine - NIMH) as a valuable tool. It doesn’t cure ADHD but provides the mental space and focus needed to build crucial coping strategies and positive habits. For me, finding healthy outlets that engage focus, like my passion for the detailed work of furniture restoration, complements other management approaches. It’s about finding what helps your brain work best.
Navigating ADHD means understanding your unique brain and finding the right tools. For relatable information and practical strategies, the YouTube channel 'How to ADHD' is an excellent resource, offering well-researched explanations, actionable tips, and a supportive community perspective.

ADHD: A Personal and Scientific Overview

Hiii🌸💜

I found this statement one day and I've been repeating it to myself ever since:

I WILL DO THE THING I AM GOING TO DO AND I WILL DO IT WELL.

I LITERALLY just repeat this to myself, even if it takes me 18 times to read the page, do the problem, whatever it is. It's almost like God Mode.

Remember you are worth it.
Remember, you are enough.

Thankfully, I've managed to overcome this to a certain extent

I hate that one of the things about my ADHD is that I'm addicted to shopping. I hate that part of my ADHD. I freaking hate it! 🤬😡

In a very typical INFJ fashion, I had a whole moment when I thought someone sharing a very normal INFJ response might get attacked for being at low point. This happened:

INFJs are the rarest personality type; philosophical contradictions in human form, and we literally cannot help it.

We are intensely introverted yet natural caregivers. We have strong emotions and an even stronger intuition, but we often struggle to explain why we just know things. We’re usually too smart for our own good yet constantly feel misunderstood.

There’s likely a high rate of comorbid autism and ADHD among INFJs. We are people so fundamentally not normal that we mask without realizing it. And in doing so, we are always aware that we are playing a role; shifting our presentation to fit the moment. This makes us feel isolated, even when surrounded by people.

We are introverts who need space but also cannot be truly alone. We need to be alone with someone. We will sacrifice ourselves for others until we burn out, dangerously, self-destructively so.

And when that happens, we find we have no one to take care of us, because we always gravitate toward those who need us. When we finally break down, the very people who depended on us blame us for being weak.

We internalize this. We feel it deeply. So we learn: We are only valuable when we are of service. And when we need help, we know we’ll be turned away.

We crave being noticed but are terrified of rejection. We will almost never reach out. And when we do, we expect rejection, because we experience it frequently and intensely.

We love deeply. We love fully. And we always see that love breaking apart before it happens. We know what people will do before they do it. And that repeating cycle of knowing, of seeing the inevitable unfold, leaves us with deep, complex PTSD. So we isolate, for long stretches of time, over and over again.

And we know this, even if only instinctively.

We’re usually sorry for being a mess. We just want someone to say, “It’s okay. I love you, and I see you. Keep going. You’ll get through this. You always do. I’m here for you.”

So to any INFJ who read this to the end: I see you. I love you. You’ll get through this. You always do. There aren’t many of us, but you’re not alone. Keep going; it’s worth it. Someone wants to take care of you. And there is always someone who needs you. But at some point, you have to stop and let someone else take over, if only for a while. You’ll be all the better for it.

*Edited for clarity because I ramble a lot on first drafts.

I have a very important question?

Your ADHD brain is not a flaw it's a unique strength, full of creativity, passion, and the ability to think outside the box in ways that inspire others.
