Why I Need Recovery Time After Existing | AuDHD, Masking & Social Exhaustion

Why I Need Recovery Time After Existing | AuDHD, Masking & Social Exhaustion

Have you ever had a great day out, enjoyed yourself, laughed, socialised, and then felt completely exhausted afterwards?


In this episode, I talk about why so many AuDHD and neurodivergent people need recovery time after social events, busy weekends, and even enjoyable experiences.


From masking and sensory overload to social exhaustion and nervous system overwhelm, I share my own experiences of attending events, navigating social situations, and dealing with what I jokingly call the “AuDHD hangover.”


If you’ve ever wondered why you need time to recover after being around people, why your social battery drains so quickly, or why enjoyable events can still leave you exhausted, this episode is for you.


Topics include:

• AuDHD and social exhaustion

• Masking and burnout

• Sensory overload

• Recovery time and self-care

• Nervous system overwhelm

• Neurodivergent experiences


🌿 Be gentle with yourself.
