When ADHD Makes You Want to Walk Away From Everything
The player is loading ...
Ever felt the sudden urge to disappear? To shut down completely, cancel plans, ignore texts, and vanish from the people who love you—not because you don’t care, but because you care too much?
In this episode, we’re talking about what happens when ADHD, rejection sensitivity, and emotional overwhelm collide—and why sometimes, walking away feels safer than staying connected.
We’ll unpack the spiral that leads to silence, explore the freeze response, and talk about what it means to retreat not out of spite, but survival. And if you're stuck in that cave right now? I promise: you're not alone.
Whether you're trying to understand your own withdrawal or the quiet of someone you love, this one's for you.
