How it works

60 seconds, 6 quiet steps. Your brain stays in the driver’s seat — we’re just helping it pause before the spiral.

01

· Name what happened.

Pick the kind of moment that triggered this. The closest fit is fine.

02

· Hear what your brain is saying.

Without judgment. Brains do this. Naming it is half the work.

03

· Separate the fact from the story.

One thing they actually did. One thing your brain added. The gap between them is where RSD lives.

04

· Check your body.

Not how you think you should feel. How loud it actually is, right now.

05

· Slow down (or stop).

If you’re activated, we breathe before we do anything. If you’re in a spike, we stop entirely.

06

· One small next step.

Something tiny and doable. And if you need to say something, three drafts that won’t make it worse.

This isn’t therapy. It isn’t a fix. It’s a pause — built by someone with ADHD, for the moment between “they replied late” and “they hate me.”

What just happened?

Pick the one that fits closest. Or the closest-ish one.

What is your brain saying about it?

No judgment. Brains do this.

What you're feeling is real, and it's a lot.

This tool isn't enough for what you're carrying right now. Please reach out to a real person — someone you trust, or one of these:

Let's separate the two.

One is what happened. One is what your brain built on top.

Before we do this: What you're feeling is real. The pain is real. We're not checking whether you should feel it.

We're just looking at what your brain added on top — because the "on top" part is usually what hurts the most.

Notice how short the fact is. Notice how loud the story is. The story isn't lying — it's protecting you. But it isn't always true.

How loud is this in your body right now?

Not how you think you should feel. How loud is it, right now.

That's it. That's the work.

P.S. If your body is having a hard day already — chronic illness, hormones, exhaustion — be extra gentle with yourself. The wave hits harder when you're already stretched thin.
