ADHDers, your mask just slipped.

ADHDers, your mask just slipped.

(and no, it wasn’t that obvious)

Do you relate to this exact panic:

You're mid-conversation.

The brain disconnects.

Words evaporate.

Face frozen.

💜 races.

"This is it, I’m found."

"They know I'm a fraud."

I’ve been there lots, it used to undo me.

But here's what's actually happening:

🧠 Masking burns 70% more cognitive resources
🧠 That brain hit capacity, it’s not incompetence
🧠 The mask slip means you're an ADHDer

Fear makes us feel like:

→ Everyone can see through me
→ My cover is blown forever
→ They'll think less of me

In reality?

Most people are too busy in their own heads.

Simple lines can help recover quickly.

Here’s what to try next time the mask slips:

🤫 "I lost my train of thought"
🤫 "Let me think about that"
🤫 "My brain just glitched"

ADHDers I talk to use these every day.

So what if it showed how much you’ve been carrying?

Your mask slipping = your brain craving air.
