If you’ve ever wondered why you self-sabotage the night before a big task, or can’t stop talking, this one’s for you.

Why do so many of us with ADHD find ourselves stuck in a loop—from wild nights out to last-minute essays, endless scrolling, or non-stop socialising?

In this episode, we unpack how ADHD can drive us to chase stimulation—just to feel something.
